Table III. Detailed Resource Speciﬁcations (continued)

Task: -a io:path[

:attr1[,attr2]]

Explanation Adds the I/O resource at path to the vPar.

If attributes are speciﬁed, they are associated

with the resource. If the vPar already owns the

resource, any speciﬁed attributes are added to

its conﬁguration.

This option only adds speciﬁed attributes. The

state of unspeciﬁed attributes is not changed.

Value path: A text string of the form returned

by the ioscan(1M) command,

such as "10/12/6"

attr: One or more of the case-insensitive

attribute strings ALTBOOT, BOOT and TAPE.

If two or more are speciﬁed, they are

separated by a comma (",").

Usage The vPar must not be running.

Restrictions

The I/O resource must either be unassigned or (when

adding attributes to an already assigned resource)

be assigned to the target vPar.

Usage At most one device can be assigned the ALTBOOT,

Guidelines TAPE and BOOT attributes. Assigning one

of these attributes to a device silently deletes

it from its former device, if any.

Caution: You should assign attributes to appropriate

devices, but this is not checked. For example,

ALTBOOT and BOOT should be assigned to a disk and TAPE

should be assigned to a tape device. Failure to do

this may result in an unbootable partition.
