SYSCFG 29

--assignintr standard,

distributed

This option controls the interrupt assignment of PCI devices in the system.

This option is set to standard by default, causing standard interrupt routing

that uses interrupt A, B, C, D for all PCIe devices. When set to distributed,

the interrupt routing is swizzled at the MCH root ports to minimize sharing

of interrupts across all PCIe (and PCI-X in the Programmable Interrupt

Controller (PIC) mode) devices.

Example:

A:>syscfg --assignintr=standard

assignintr=standard

--bootseq numerical list,

separated by

commas

list of device

names,

separated by

commas

This option sets the boot order for a system. Without an argument, this

option prints the boot order list. The argument must be formatted as a

comma-separated numerical list with no spaces. The list must be within the

bounds of the current boot list, i.e. the low and high numbers must match,

and the same number of entries must be supplied. This option is available on

all supported systems. Systems that use a numerical list for boot order cannot

be replicated.

Some systems also allow the boot order to be expressed as a list of device

names. Device names are formatted as a name.location.instance string, where

name is the name of the device, location is either slot or embedded (emb),

and instance is the numerical position of the device. Some device name

examples are shown below. Systems that support a list of device names for

boot order can be replicated.

Numerical Lists Examples

A:>syscfg --bootseq=2,3,4,5,1,6

The following devices are set in the boot sequence:

Device 2:* usbcdrom.slot.1 - USB CD-ROM device

Device 3:* virtualcd.slot.1 – VIRTUAL CDROM

Device 4:* hdd.emb.0 - Hard drive C:

Device 5:* nic.emb.1 - MBA v2.5.12 Slot 0500

Device 1:* virtualfloppy.slot.1 - VIRTUAL FLOPPY

Device 6:* usbfloppy.slot.1 - USB Floppy device

NOTE: The asterisk indicates that the device is enabled in the BIOS.
