You can associate a description with a boot environment name. The description never replaces the name. Although a boot environment name is restricted in length and characters, the description can be of any length and of any content. The description can be simple text or as complex as a gif file. You can create this description at these times:
When you create a boot environment with the lucreate command and use the -A option
After the boot environment has been created by using the ludesc command
