Setboot hardware path to legacy hardware path

HP-UX 11.23

setboot provides output only including the hardware path (ioscan -H).

When calculating DRD clone targets and such you need the regular legacy device path.

Here is a converter, built with a little help from JRF on the ITRC forums.

First get the setboot path. Might want to use the full path of the setboot command in practice.

pboot=$(setboot | grep ^Primary | awk ‘{ print $NF }’);
aboot=$(setboot | grep ^Alternate |awk ‘{ print $NF}’);

abootdisk=$(ioscan -kfnCdisk | awk -v aboot=${aboot} ‘/aboot/ $0~aboot {getline;print aboot,$2}’ | awk ‘{ print $2 }’);

pbootdisk=$(ioscan -kfnCdisk | awk -v aboot=${pboot} ‘/pboot/ $0~pboot {getline;print pboot,$2}’ | awk ‘{ print $2 }’);

The slick part is getting the variable in and out of awk.

Uses ioscan.
