Deployment Guide

Example 1:

#syscfg --bootseq

The following devices are set in the boot sequence:

Device 2:* cdrom.emb.0 - IDE CD-ROM device

Device 3:* hdd.emb.0 - Hard drive C:

Device 5:* virtual.slot.1 - VIRTUALCDROM DRIVE

Device 1:* floppy.emb.0 - Diskette drive A:1226

Device 6:* virtual.slot.2 - VIRTUALFLOPPY DRIVE

Device 4:* nic.emb.1 - IBA GE Slot 0638 v1226

Example 2:

#syscfg --bootseq=nic.emb.1,virtual.slot.1

The following devices are set in the boot sequence:

Device 4:* nic.emb.1 - IBA GE Slot 0638 v

Device 5:* virtual.slot.1 - VIRTUALCDROM DRIVE

Device 2: cdrom.emb.0 - IDE CD-ROM device

Device 3: hdd.emb.0 - Hard drive C:

Device 1: floppy.emb.0 - Diskette drive A:

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

Applicable Systems

All PowerEdge systems

HddSeq/devseq

Table 21. SYSCFG Options Supported — HddSeq/devseq

Valid Arguments

• On systems prior to 12G: numerical list separated by commas or list of device

names separated by commas

• On 12G and later systems: list of device names separated by commas

Description

Sets the hard-drive sequence for a system. The first hard drive in the system will be

the bootable C: drive in DOS/DOS-like operating systems. Without an argument, this

option displays the device list. The argument must be formatted as a comma-separated

numerical list of device index values. The list must be within the bounds of the current

boot list. For example, the low and high numbers must match. Systems that use a

numerical list for boot order cannot be replicated. This option is applicable when

bootmode is set to Bios and has no effect when bootmode is set to Uefi.

Some systems allow the boot order to be expressed as a list of device names. Systems

that support device names also support replication of the boot order through the

output file option. 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.
