Boot Command
Use the BO (boot) command to initiate the boot sequence from any menu in the interface. You can enter either
a default or specified path to the boot device. This path must be the definition of a device, for example,
FWSCSI.6.0 or PRI. The default is PRI.
Path Command
The PA (path) command displays or sets the current paths. Invoked with only one argument, PA displays the
current path of the entity passed as argument. For example, path alt displays the current alternative boot
path, and path pri fwscsi.6.0 sets up the primary boot path as the device attached to SCSI controller with
ID 6 and LUN 0. You can also set and display the paths of console (graphics/serial) and keyboard. For
example:
Main Menu: Enter command or menu > pa
Primary boot path: intscsia.1
0/1/1/0.1
0/01/01/0.1 (hex)
Alternate boot path: intscsib.2
0/1/1/0.2
0/01/01/01.2 (hex)
Console path: 0/7/1/1.0
0/07/01/01.1 (hex)
Keyboard path: 0/0/4/0.0
