Original Question;

Sun Managers;

I know how to change the values of those variables displayed when I issue
the "printenv" command with "setenv"

for example: setenv boot-device=disk

Now my question, how would I change the value of those variables displayed
when I issue the "devalias" command? I want to change the value of disk.

Answer -1 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
nvalias newdisk /io-unit......
                or nvedit
                then
        nvstore
        nvrun
        reset

works for me!

Answer-2 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= you can change devalias values using the devalias command as follows

ok devalias disk /sbus@0,e800000/esp@0,8000000/sd@3,0:a (for example)

it is also possible to create new device aliases in the same way, for example

ok devalias diskb /sbus@0,e800000/esp@0,8000000/sd@3,0:b

creates a new device alias diskb

Answer-3 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

To change the value of a devalias you need to do the following:

devalias alias-name device-path

I hope this helps!
