How To Set the Boot Disk From OBP

Ensure that your role has the appropriate rights profiles to perform this procedure. See Using Rights Profiles to Install Oracle Solaris.

1. Bring the system to the ok PROM prompt.

   # init 0
   

2. List the devices on the system.

   ok devalias
   ...
   disk1                    /pci@306/pci@1/SUNW,qlc@0/fp@0,0/disk@w202400a0b836a3b9,3
   disk0                    /pci@306/pci@1/SUNW,qlc@0/fp@0,0/disk@w202400a0b836a3b9,1
   disk                     /pci@304/pci@2/usb@0/storage@1/disk@0,0
   

3. Set the boot-device parameter to the appropriate disk.

   For example:

   ok setenv boot-device /pci@306/pci@1/SUNW,qlc@0/fp@0,0/disk@x202400a0b836a3b39,1
   

4. Verify the boot device.

   ok printenv boot-device
   boot-device = /pci@306/pci@1/SUNW,qlc@0/fp@0,0/disk@x202400a0b836a3b39,1
