Re: N-Class Alternate Boot Path

That's not always the case.

It is if your system is configured correctly but the path for LDEV 1 in SYSGEN doesn't have to match. The system will boot at whatever is configured as primary boot path, and that's before SYSGEN config is read.

That can be proven when doing an install, as the sysgen config could be from another system.

Is there a way to ascertain what the alternate boot path on an N-Class is configured as with the system up ?

And for that matter, on a 9x9 as well......

Great question... I don't know the answer, but I assume LDEV 1 will be the bootable device. So go into SYSGEN, IO, LD 1
