You may want to use the bosboot command while performing certain tasks. For example, many software installations require running the bosboot command at the end of installation.

To run bosboot command on the rootvg

Determine the device paths of the rootvg that are under DMP control.

# vxdmpadm native list
PATH                      DMPNODENAME
==============================================
hdisk168                  emc0_0039
hdisk172                  emc0_0039
hdisk184                  emc0_0039
hdisk188                  emc0_0039

# lspv | grep -w rootvg
hdisk168   00c398edf9fae077   rootvg  active
hdisk172   00c398edf9fae077   rootvg  active
hdisk184   00c398edf9fae077   rootvg  active
hdisk188   00c398edf9fae077   rootvg  active

Run the operation that requires the bosboot command; for example, install the software. Alternatively, run the bosboot command manually.
```
# bosboot -ad /dev/ipldevice
bosboot: Boot image is 56863 512 byte blocks.
```
If the bosboot command fails on /dev/ipldevice, then retry the command on the paths of current boot disk until it succeeds.
