Using SETBOOTORDER

SETBOOTORDER enables you to set the order in which devices are booted, including diskette
drives, CD-ROM or DVD drives, hard drives, PXE, and USB devices. This utility sets the boot order
only for devices that exist for a server. The devices can be set to boot in any order.
SETBOOTORDER cannot be used to set the storage controller order. You must use the CONREP
utility. For more information about setting the controller order, see
NOTE: Any changes made to the SETBOOTORDER take affect at the next reboot. For HP ProLiant
servers with Oxx ROM Family (most 100 series servers), only one device can be set as the boot
device and others cannot be re-ordered. These Oxx servers do not support the default or usb
parameters.
