NAME

apboot - set up system files for boot meta-disk

SYNOPSIS

apboot [-n] [-k system-name] [-v vfstab-name] device

apboot [-m metadevice-name]

apboot [-u metadevice-name]

DESCRIPTION

Use /usr/sbin/apboot to edit /etc/vfstab and /etc/system to make the system bootable from either the boot disk file systems on an AP meta-disk or the boot disk file systems on a disk device that is not alternately pathed; or to allow AP to coherently manage a mirrored boot device when both that boot device and its mirror are under AP control.

OPTIONS

-n

Print what would be done without actually doing it.

-k system-name
        Edit system-name instead of the default /etc/system file.

-v vfstab-name

Edit vfstab-name instead of the default /etc/vfstab table of file system defaults.

-m metadevice-name

Enable boot mirror support for the specified AP meta-device.

-u metadevice-name

Disable boot mirror support for the specified AP meta-device.

EXAMPLES

apboot mc3t0d0

        Edits /etc/system and /etc/vfstab to specify that the boot disk file systems are
        now on meta-disk mc3t0d0.
apboot c3t0d0
        Edits /etc/system and /etc/vfstab to specify that the boot disk file systems are
        now under the physical path /dev/dsk/c3t0d0.
apboot mc3t0d0
apboot -m mc1t0d1
        These commands edit /etc/system and /etc/vfstab to specify that the boot disk file
        systems are now on meta-disk mc3t0d0, with a mirror on mc1t0d1.
apboot -u mc1t0d1

Disables AP support for the mirror device created in the previous example.
