Quick Reference Guide

Example 1:
#syscfg --bootseq
The following devices are set in the boot sequence:
Device 2:* cdrom.emb.0 - IDE CD-ROM device
Device 3:* hdd.emb.0 - Hard drive C:
Device 5:* virtual.slot.1 - VIRTUALCDROM DRIVE
Device 1:* floppy.emb.0 - Diskette drive A:1226
Device 6:* virtual.slot.2 - VIRTUALFLOPPY DRIVE
Device 4:* nic.emb.1 - IBA GE Slot 0638 v1226
Example 2:
#syscfg --bootseq=nic.emb.1,virtual.slot.1
The following devices are set in the boot sequence:
Device 4:* nic.emb.1 - IBA GE Slot 0638 v
Device 5:* virtual.slot.1 - VIRTUALCDROM DRIVE
Device 2: cdrom.emb.0 - IDE CD-ROM device
Device 3: hdd.emb.0 - Hard drive C:
Device 1: floppy.emb.0 - Diskette drive A:
NOTE: The asterisk indicates that the device is enabled in the
BIOS.
Applicable Systems
All PowerEdge systems
--HddSeq/--devseq
Valid Arguments
On systems prior to 12G
: numerical list separated by commas or list of device names
separated by commas
On 12G and later systems
: list of device names separated by commas
Description
Sets the hard-drive sequence for a system. The first hard drive in the
system will be the bootable C: drive in DOS/DOS-like operating
systems. Without an argument, this option displays the device list.
The argument must be formatted as a comma-separated numerical
list of device index values. The list must be within the bounds of the
current boot list. For example, the low and high numbers must
match. Systems that use a numerical list for boot order cannot be
replicated. This option is applicable when bootmode is set to Bios
and has no effect when bootmode is set to Uefi.
Some systems allow the boot order to be expressed as a list of device
names. Systems that support device names also support replication
of the boot order through the output file option. Device names are
formatted as a name.location.instance string, where name is the
name of the device, location is either slot or embedded (emb) , and
instance is the numerical position of the device. Some device name
examples are shown below. Systems that support a list of device
names for boot order can be replicated.
