5.3.5 How can I determine which disk is the boot disk?
There are at least two ways to do this:
o Use "lvlnboot -v" (must be root); this command also reports additional
information on volume groups and logical volumes:
# lvlnboot -v `vgdisplay | grep "VG Name" | awk '{print $3}'`
...
/dev/dsk/c0t5d0 (8/4.5.0) -- Boot Disk
...
o Use setboot. This command also reports the alternate bootpath, as well
as whether Autoboot and Autosearch are enabled. However, it does not
print the disk device names as lvlnboot does.
$ setboot
Primary bootpath : 8/4.5.0
Alternate bootpath : 8/4.10.0
Autoboot is ON (enabled)
Autosearch is OFF (disabled)
To determine which disk the currently running kernel was booted from, use
adb as follows (must be root):
# KERNEL=/stand/vmunix # set this var to the currently running kernel
# echo 'boot_string/S' | adb $KERNEL /dev/mem | grep /
boot_string: disc(8/4.5.0;0)/stand/vmunix
On 11.x, the path of the currently running kernel can be obtained using
the kmpath command (see subject 8.2.4).
