Configuring the Boot Environment

HP-UX version 11.00.03 Starting and Stopping the System 3-7

the LIF kernel file (kernel), and some logical SCSI buses (lsm#). Although the file

you select during installation as the default CONF file is adequate in many settings,

you might need to modify the CONF parameters if:

■ You reconfigure your system and want to specify an alternate root device.

■ You add RNI support and need to configure logical LAN interfaces (see the

HP-UX Operating System: LAN Configuration Guide (R1011H) and the HP-UX

Operating System: RNI (R1006H)).

■ When prompted during a cold installation of HP-UX version 11.00.03, you

chose an incorrect file to use as the CONF file. The correct CONF file to use

depends on the type of Continuum system because each of the following CONF

files defines a unique set of boot parameters required on a specific system:

– CONF_STGWK—for a Continuum Series 400 system with the StorageWorks

disk enclosure

– CONF_EURAC—for a Continuum Series 400 system with the AC powered

Eurologic disk enclosure

– CONF_EURDC—for a Continuum Series 400-CO system with the DC

powered Eurologic disk enclosure

Sample CONF Files

The following files contain the boot parameters required for that system.

■ The following is a sample of the CONF_STGWK file for a Continuum Series 400

system with the StorageWorks disk enclosure:

rootdev=disc(14/0/0.0.0;0)/stand/vmunix

consdev=(15/2/0;0)

kbddev=(;)
