array is direct Fib

If you have no boot

disk available a nd the disk array is direct Fibre Channel connected,

you can use the MAPPER2 utility while the system is bo oted from the S LT tape on the

alternate boot path. MAPPER2 will locate and display the boot m enu I/O paths for the

direct Fibre Chan

nel attached disk arrays. Choose the desired disk a rray LUN from

the MAPPER2 output to become the new MPE/ix Ldev 1 boot disk, and then use the

MAPPER2 I/O path to set the system’s primary boot path for loading the OS.

Follow this procedure and example to use MAPPER2 to set the

boot path:

For brevity, only an excerpt of the MAPPER2 output is shown.
