Resetting a device alias
If a boot disk is replaced, or if the NVRAM chip is ever reset permanently to the Sun factory
defaults, the boot disk and EEPROM values must be reset to the Avaya factory defaults. This
can happen when any of the following occurs:
●
The NVRAM chip has been replaced
●
The set-defaults or setenv use-nvramrc? false command is run
●
A PROM patch is applied
To reset the NVRAM to bootable options for the boot disks:
1. At the ok prompt, enter:
show-disks
The disk devices are displayed.
2. Select the letter for the proper boot device. For example:
/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/disk
This copies the boot device string into the editor clipboard.
3. Enter:
nvalias disk Ctrl+Y (that is, press and hold the Ctrl key and the y key)
