Set up the next boot option
After you install an image, the system automatically assigns the next boot to the image that was
installed. In rare instances, you might want to override that assignment by configuring the next boot
to a different disk.
Using this command has the same effect as changing the boot option using the GRub menu.
Take this step only if you have a specific need that cannot be addressed by the current configuration.

the operating system on the appliance.
# ./setnextboot [reboot_only | pri | sec]

image will boot next.
