Hi All,
I have a problem on an AS1000a 5/333 m/c running Unix 4.0 . Didn't find
a suitable conference so thought to use this conference instead.
Problem:
at srm console
>>> sh boot* output is
boot_dev = dka400: (cdrom device)
bootdef_dev = dka0: (this is the boot device)
Now when I boot with the b command at console , the system boots
and if shutdown and booted again boots from the bootdef_dev i.e dka0:
But only if rebooted then tries to boot from boot_dev i.e CDROM device.
What can be the probable way to sort this problem ? Any explanation for
this ?
I can't chage the boot_dev setting at the console as it is a protected
environment.
Thanks
Biplab.

Hi Biplab
there is a asrv1000/1000a mikasa/noritake notes file
WRKSYS::MIKASA
note 811 in the notes file is probally the problem you are seeing.
your system is asrv1000 5/333 so this note should be the problem
srm console code does not update boot_dev unless boot_reset=ON
so
>>>show reset_boot_arg0
reset_boot_arg0 dka400 <<has bad boot device set
>>>sho boot_reset
boot_reset OFF <<probally set to OFF needs to be set to ON
>>>set boot_reset ON
>>>set bootdef_dev dka0 <<good boot device
>>>boot <<boot system to make it write good boot device
shutdown system
>>>show reset_boot_arg0 dka0 <<now should have good boot device
>>>set boot_reset OFF <<if wish to reset to OFF or leave it ON
now try your warm reboot should boot to dka0 not the bad dka400 setting
