The following procedure assumes that hdisk10 is recognized as a boot

disk:

17

.

Check the current boot disk list:

# bootlist -m normal -o

hdisk10 blv=hd5

hdisk0 blv=hd5

hdisk1 blv=hd5

...

.

Specify boot disks that are suitable for your host environment:

# bootlist -m normal hdisk10 hdisk0 hdisk1

19

.

Make sure that the number of configured boot disks is the same as the

number of paths that you checked in step 15:

# bootlist -m normal -o

hdisk10 blv=hd5

hdisk10 blv=hd5

hdisk0 blv=hd5

hdisk1 blv=hd5

fast_fail.

# lsattr -El fscsin
