Configuring vFlash SD Card and Managing vFlash Partitions 287
Booting to a Partition
To list the available devices in the boot list:
racadm getconfig –g cfgServerInfo –o
cfgServerFirstBootDevice
If it is a vFlash SD card, the label names of the attached partitions appears
in the boot list. If it is a standard SD card and if the partition is attached,
then VFLASH appears in the boot list.
To set a vFlash partition as a boot device:
racadm config –g cfgServerInfo –o
cfgServerFirstBootDevice “<vFlash partition name>”
where, <vFlash partition name> is the label name for vFlash SD card and
VFLASH for the standard SD card.
NOTE: When you run this command, the vFlash partition label is automatically set
to boot once, that is, cfgserverBootOnce is set to 1. Boot once boots the device to
the partition only once and does not keep it persistently first in the boot order.

racadm config –g cfgvflashpartition –i 1 –o
cfgvflashPartitionAttachState 1

racadm config –g cfgvflashpartition –i 1 –o
cfgvflashPartitionAttachState 0
