Update the Boot Configuration

About the xtcli_boot and xtcli_part commands.

The HSS xtcli boot_cfg command allows the administrator to specify the primary and backup boot nodes and the primary and backup SDB nodes for s0 or p0 (the entire system). For a partitioned system, use xtcli part_cfg to manage boot configurations for partitions.

For more information about these commands, see the xtcli_boot(8) and xtcli_part(8) man pages.

Note that these commands alone are not sufficient to configure boot or SDB node failover. For the full procedures, see Configure Boot Node Failover and Configure SDB Node Failover.

This example updates the boot configuration using the boot image /bootimagedir/bootimage, primary boot node (for example, c0-0c0s0n1), backup boot node, primary SDB node, and the backup SDB node:

crayadm@smw> xtcli boot_cfg update -b primaryboot_id,backupboot_id \
-d primarySDB_id,backupSDB_id -i /bootimagedir/bootimage
