If this occurs, install firmware that supports the volatile WWN.
To restore the non-volatile WWN, type

oslpcfg restorenvwwn n=<adapter number>

The following example restores the non-volatile WWN on adapter #2.

oslpcfg restorenvwwn n=2

Restoring the IEEE address (restoredefwwn)

This command reads the IEEE address (assigned by the manufacturer) and writes it to

the non-volatile WWPN and WWNN.
To restore the IEEE address, type

oslpcfg restoredefwwn n=<adapter number>

The following example restores the IEEE address on adapter #2.

oslpcfg restoredefwwn n=2

Boot Code Commands

You must enable BootBIOS before you can issue setBootDevice and setAltBoot

commands. If necessary, use the enableboot command to enable BootBIOS. (See

“Enabling or Disabling BootBIOS or Boot Code (enableboot/disableboot)” on page 500

for more information.)
To set the boot device with the offline utility, run the following commands in this order:
1. Use the listboot command to verify that the BootBIOS is present. (See “Viewing

BootBIOS Versions (listboot)” on page 493 for more information.)
Example:

oslpcfg listboot n=1

Sample return:

bootBIOS 1 (enabled): ZB2.01A2

bootBIOS 2 (disabled): ZB2.01A1

2. Use the setbootdevice command to set the boot device. (See “Selecting a Boot

Device (setbootdevice)” on page 501 for more information.)

3. Configure the system BIOS so the adapter boot device is the highest in the boot

order.

Enabling or Disabling BootBIOS or Boot Code
(enableboot/disableboot)

This command enables or disables the BootBIOS (boot code) (selected by its index) for

the specified adapter number. Index i is one of the indices (base 1) shown when you run

the listboot command.
To enable BootBIOS, type
