Booting the standby BOS

The bootlist command supports multiple BLVs.

As an example, to boot from disk hdisk0 and BLV bos_hd5, you would enter the following: # bootlist –m normal hdisk0 blv=bos_hd5. After the system is rebooted from the standby BOS, the standby BOS logical volumes are mounted over the usual BOS mount points, such as /, /usr, /var, and so on.

The set of BOS objects, such as the BLV, logical volumes, file systems, and so on that are currently booted are considered the active BOS, regardless of logical volume names. The previously active BOS becomes the standby BOS in the existing boot environment.
