Table 21. SYSCFG Options Supported — HddSeq or devseq (continued)
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.
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
drive
Example 2:
A:>syscfg --devseq= hdd.emb.1,scsiraid.emb.1
The following devices are set in the disk device sequence:
Device 1:* hdd.emb.0 - System BIOS boot devices
Device 2:* scsiraid.emb.1 - AIC-7899, A:00 Seagate
NOTE: The asterisk indicates that the device is enabled in the BIOS.
Applicable Systems All PowerEdge systems.
