Solution Type Problem Resolution Sure Solution 1009206.1 : How to remove unwanted aliases in NVRAM; nvunalias does not remove them from NVRAM, still show when run "devalias"
PreviouslyPublishedAs 212741 Symptoms Customer wants to remove unwanted aliases from the NVRAM; OBP document said to run "nvunalias" then "reset-all". This did not give any complaints, but when custormer ran "devalias" the entries were still there. This causes confusion among Systems Administrators at customer site. This is not a bug, but occurs because the NVRAM retains all the aliases "names" once set. How do you clear them permanently? Resolution When running the nvunalias and reset-all commands do not clear out an unwanted alias, use the following procedure: 1) Save all aliases that you want from the NVRAM. Be sure to include any macros; for example, in cluster environment, there is setting for multi SCSI initiator. If the OBP has "use-nvramrc? true" then you have it set. 2) OK> set-defaults Clear all settings to default values. 3) OK> setenv auto-boot? false After the reset it puts you back to the OBP level so you can set your aliases, nvramrc, etc. 4) OK> reset-all 5) After the reset-all, it will put you at OBP, set your aliases from the values saved in step-1. 6) OK> reset Product Sun Fire V890 Server Sun Fire V490 Server Sun Fire V480 Server Sun Fire V1280 Server Sun Fire T2000 Server Sun Fire E4900 Server Sun Fire E6900 Server Internal Comments This document is a Normalized Resolution Path and is managed by the MidRange Server Group's Domain Engineer.
