resource leaving any previously assigned

attributes unchanged and the resource itself

assigned to the vPar. If no attribute is

attributes.

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, TAPE and BOOT.

If more than one are speciﬁed, they

are separated by a comma (",").

Usage The vPar must not be running.

Restrictions

The I/O resource must be assigned to the

target vPar.

Guidelines not cause it to be assigned to another. You

must do that in a separate option or command.

At most one device can be assigned the ALTBOOT,

TAPE and BOOT attributes.

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 to a tape device. Failure to do this may

result in an unbootable partition.
