If you boot from the same boot device each time, you can store the
disk name by defining the default boot device. This is done by using
the set bootdef_ dev command. The default boot device is used for
booting during power-up and auto restarts.
3
Use set boot_osflags to define the boot command flag parameters of
0, 6, and 7. The flags can also be specified as done in step 6.
4
Booting can now be done from that device by typing boot or just b.
5
Use the create command to create the environment variable work.
The -nv parameter stores the environment variable work.

This is an example of booting from a system that is part of a
VMScluster. To boot from the cluster system disk, a nickname is cre-
ated by equating the boot parameters to an environment variable as
shown. A nickname is used so boot parameters do not have to be en-
tered when the system boots, and it stores boot command qualifi-
ers.
7
Used to set the auto_action environment variable so the system will
restart after an error halt.
8
