BootSeq or bootseq
Table 19. SYSCFG Options Supported BootSeq or bootseq
Valid Arguments
● On systems prior to YX2X: numerical list separated by commas or list of device
names separated by commas
● On YX2X and later systems: list of device names separated by commas
Description
Enables, disables, and orders the devices in a boot order list. Only the devices
present on the system are listed in the boot sequence.
NOTE: Only the devices listed in the bootseq are enabled.
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, that is, the low and high numbers
must match, and the same number of entries must be supplied. 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
