rbootseq.1

SYNOPSIS

rbootseq [-h | --help | -v | --version]

Blade specific:

rbootseq noderange {hd0 | hd1 | hd2 | hd3 | net | iscsi | iscsicrit | cdrom | usbflash | floppy | none | list | stat},…

HP Blade specific:

rbootseq noderange {hd | net1 | net2 | net3 | net4 | cdrom | usbflash | floppy | none},…

PPC (using Direct FSP Management) specific:

rbootseq noderange [hfi|net]

DESCRIPTION

For Blade specific:

rbootseq sets the boot sequence (the order in which boot devices should be tried) for the specified blades. Up to four different medium/devices can be listed, separated by commas. The boot sequence will remain in effect for these blades until set differently.

For PPC (using Direct FSP Management) specific:

rbootseq sets the ethernet (net) or hfi device as the first boot device for the specified PPC LPARs. The rbootseq command requires that the ethernet or hfi mac address is stored in the mac table, and that the network information is correct in the networks table.

EXAMPLES

Set blades 14-56 and 70-203 to try to boot first from the CD drive, then the floppy drive, then the network, and finally from the 1st hard disk:
```
rbootseq blade[14-56],blade[70-203] c,f,n,hd0
```
