Displaying and Setting Paths
Displaying and Setting Paths
A path is the hardware address of a device that is attached to the I/O
system of your computer. The path command sets the system paths
shown in Table 6-1.
The path command sets and displays the hardware address of a specified
device attached to the I/O bus of your computer.
To display the current settings for the system paths, type the following at
the prompt and press
Enter
:
