displaying and setting paths
A path is the hardware address of a device that is attached to the I/O system of your
workstation. 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 workstation.
To display the current settings for the system paths, type the following at the prompt and
press
Enter
:
Main Menu: Enter command > path
The paths are displayed in Mnemonic Style Notation, as shown in Table 6-2.
To display the current setting for a particular system path, follow the directions in
“accessing the boot console handler” earlier in this chapter, and then type the following at
the prompt and press
Enter
:
Main Menu: enter command > path
