vparresources(5) vparresources(5)

Table III.l. Task: -m io:path[:

attr1[,attr2]]

Explanation Changes the attributes of the resource to

those speciﬁed in the option. Omitted

attributes are removed from the attribute

set. To retain an attribute, it must be

speciﬁed.

Value path: A text string of the form returned

by the ioscan command,

such as "0/0/6"

attr: One or both of the case-insensitive

attribute strings ALTBOOT, TAPE and BOOT.

If more than one are speciﬁed, then they

are separated a comma (",").

Usage The vPar must not be running.

Restrictions

The I/O resource must be assigned to the

target vPar. Only attributes may be modiﬁed.

Usage At most one device can be assigned the ALTBOOT,

Guidelines TAPE and BOOT attributes. Assigning one of

these attributes to a device silently deletes it from

its former device, if any.

Caution: You should assign attributes to appropriate

devices, but this is not checked. For example,

ALTBOOT and BOOT should be assigned to a disk and

TAPE should be assigned to a tape device. Failure to

do this may result in an unbootable partition.
