This describes how to resolve the following error when setting the bootlist:
# bootlist -m normal hdisk2 hdisk3 0514-229 bootlist: Multiple boot logical volumes found on 'hdisk2'. Use the 'blv' attribute to specify the one from which to boot.
To resolve this: clear the boot logical volumes from the disks:
# chpv -c hdisk2 # chpv -c hdisk3
Verify that the disks can no longer be used to boot from by running:
# ipl_varyon -i
Then re-run bosboot on both disks:
# bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk2 bosboot: Boot image is 38224 512 byte blocks. # bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk3 bosboot: Boot image is 38224 512 byte blocks.
Finally, set the bootlist again:
# bootlist -m normal hdisk2 hdisk3
Another way around it is by specifying hd5 using the blv attribute:
# bootlist -m normal hdisk2 blv=hd5 hdisk3 blv=hd5
This will set the correct boot logical volume, but the error will show up if you ever run the bootlist command again without the blv attribute.
