CLI 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 rst 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 eect 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 le 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.
Example 1:
A:>syscfg --devseq
The following devices are set in the disk device sequence:
Device 1:* hdd.emb.0 - System BIOS boot devices
Device 2:* scsiraid.slot.3 - PERC 5/E Adapter(bus 02 dev 02)
Device 3:* usbkey.slot.0 - Hard-disk-emulated USB flash
