This section describes how to create an alias for the drive that you selected in the previous section. This section contains the following topic:
Creating an alias for the drive helps simplify the process of booting the drive later. In the following example, the alias name is mydev.
{0} ok nvalias mydev /pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@3/LSI,sas@0/disk
{0} ok boot mydev
{0} ok printenv boot-device boot-device = disk0 disk1 {0} ok setenv boot-device mydev disk0 boot-device = mydev disk0
In this example, the mydev alias is set as disk0, the first disk in the boot device list. This results in the automatic booting of the bootable drive, /pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@3/LSI,sas@0/disk.
