Displaying and Setting Paths
A path is the hardware address of a device that is attached to the I/O system of a
workstation. The
path
command sets the system paths shown in Table 5-1.
The
path
command sets and displays the hardware address of a specified device attached
to the I/O bus of the workstation.
To display the current settings for the system paths, type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > path [Enter]
The paths are displayed in Mnemonic Style Notation, as shown in Table 5-2.
To display the current setting for a particular system path, follow the directions in the
section “Accessing the Boot Console Handler” found in this chapter, and type the following
at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > path
path_type [Enter]
where
path_type
is one of the path types listed in Table 5-1.
For example, to get the path to the primary boot device, follow the directions in the section
“Accessing the Boot Console Handler” found in this chapter, and type the following at the
