Select Boot Devices - IBM P 615 series Service Manual

Select Boot Devices

Note: To keep the search time for bootable devices down, these menus follow a hierarchy of:
device type->bus type->adapter->devices attached to the adapter
To view all of the potentially bootable devices at one time rather than traversing down the hierarchy
with the submenus, go to the Select Device Type menu or the Select Media Type menu and select
the last option, List All Devices. The "List All Devices" function may take a long time on a large
system with many I/O adapters and devices, such as large disk arrays.
Select this option to view and change the customized boot list, which is the sequence of devices read at
startup.
