To Specify the New Boot Disk as the Boot Device.

1. Bring the host with the host adapter down to the ok prompt at run level 0.
See the Solaris system administration documentation on shutting down a host for
the commands that can be used with different configurations. The following screen
example uses the shutdown(1M) command.
# shutdown
...
ok
2. Use the nvalias command to alias the device name of the disk to a short name
for the disk.
The following example uses
/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@1/fp@0,0/disk@10,0, which was the device path
name for disk 2 in
ok nvalias disk2 /pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@1/fp@0,0/disk@10,0
3. Use the nvstore command to store the new alias followed by the reset all
command.
ok nvstore
ok reset-all

Use the data gathered in
a. Enter the setenv command followed by the boot-device parameter followed
