Aliases not getting saved in OK prompt
Hi Guys,
After setting below paths:
ok nvalias rootdisk /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/disk@0,0:a
ok nvalias rootmirror /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/disk@1,0:a
ok nvstore
to check:
ok devalias

devailas does show set path but after reboot
The alias for disks are not getting saved.
I get this error:-
Code:
----------
System is operating in Service Mode.
Rebooting with command: boot rootdisk
Boot device: rootmirror  File and args: rootdisk
Evaluating:
Can't locate boot device

Please advise.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for reply!

here is my disks info:-

Code:
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
       0. c1t0d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>  ROOTDSK
          /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/sd@0,0
       1. c1t1d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>  ROOTMIRR
          /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/sd@1,0
Specify disk (enter its number):

here is my disks path info:-

Code:
bash-2.03$ ls -l /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          43 Nov  6  2003 /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 -> ../../devices/pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/sd@0,0:a
bash-2.03$ ls -l /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          43 Nov  6  2003 /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 -> ../../devices/pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/sd@1,0:a
bash-2.03$

this is what I did:-

Code:
nvalias rootdisk /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/disk@0,0:a

nvalias rootmirror /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/disk@1,0:a

nvstore

This is my devalias output:-

Code:
{1} ok devalias
rootmirror               /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/disk@1,0:a
rootdisk                 /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/disk@0,0:a

name                     aliases
{1} ok

This is my other info:-

Code:
{1} ok printenv boot-device
boot-device =           disk
{1} ok setenv boot-device rootdisk rootmirror
boot-device =           rootdisk rootmirror
{1} ok printenv boot-device
boot-device =           rootdisk rootmirror
{1} ok printenv diag-device
diag-device =           disk
{1} ok setenv diag-device rootdisk rootmirror
diag-device =           rootdisk rootmirror
{1} ok printenv diag-device
diag-device =           rootdisk rootmirror
{1} ok

After setting alises, If I do
OK boot rootdisk ,the system boots

but if I do init 0 and get to OK prompt and do
OK boot

it through below error:-



This is the error which I get:-

Code:
System is operating in Service Mode.

Rebooting with command: boot rootdisk
Boot device: rootmirror  File and args: rootdisk
Evaluating:

Can't locate boot device

{1} ok printenv boot-device
boot-device =           rootdisk rootmirror
{1} ok devalias rootdisk
rootdisk : no such alias
{1} ok devalias rootmirror
rootmirror : no such alias

I also did reset-all after doing nvstore, but still that aliases do NOT get save.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Manali

System is operating in Service Mode.

I guess I need to set it to NORMAL mode and then reset it.
so aliases will gt saved.

Am I right?

please confirm.
