System-wide Stable Storage and Setboot
On a vPars computer, the setboot command does not read from or write
to stable storage. Instead, the setboot command reads from and writes
to the vPars partition database, affecting only the entries of the partition
from which the setboot command was run.
For example, if you are logged into winona2 and execute the command:
winona2# setboot -b on
this would set the auto flag to AUTO for the partition winona2.
The actions of setboot on a vPars computer are:
NOTE To modify stable storage, you must go to the BCH (Boot Console
Handler).
