Operations 53

where <target> is a controller with a volume that can be set as the boot volume.
Example command:

controller slot=1 modify bootcontroller=enable

Setting the boot volume

This procedure is only available in the offline environment.
The boot volume is the volume that contains the OS and its support files. To work properly, the boot volume

must be accessible by the designated boot controller. See "Setting the boot controller (on page

52

)."

Syntax:

<target> modify [bootvolume=primary|secondary|none]

where <target> is a controller and a logical drive.
Example commands:

controller slot=1 ld 1 modify bootvolume=primary

controller slot=1 ld 2 modify bootvolume=secondary

controller slot=1 ld 1 modify bootvolume=none

Setting the target

If you must perform several operations on a given target device, you can simplify the required commands by
setting the device as the default <target> for the CLI operations.
After you have set the target, any command that you enter in the CLI without a specified <target> is

automatically applied to the set target. If you must also perform operations on other devices, you can still do
so at any time by specifying the <target> for each of those operations as usual. You can also change the

set target or clear it completely. The set target is automatically cleared when you close the CLI.

IMPORTANT:

You cannot use the set target command in batch file scripts.

Syntax:

set target <target>

where <target> is a controller, array, or logical drive.
Example commands:

=> set target ctrl slot=3

=> clear target

Typical scenario
First, set a target as follows:

=> set target ctrl ch="Lab 4"

=> show target

controller chassisname="Lab 4"

As an example of how the set target command works, check the status of array A on this controller:

=> array A show

MSA1000 at Lab 4

array A

Interface Type: SAS
Unused Space: 7949 MB
