NAME

osmark − mark SDF volume boot area as loadable/non-loadable

SYNOPSIS

/etc/osmark [ −m | −u ] [ −v ] volume

HP-UX COMPATIBILITY

Level: HP-UX/NON-STANDARD

Origin: HP

Remarks: Osmark is implemented on the Series 500 only. 

DESCRIPTION

Osmark marks an operating system file (OSF) in a boot area as loadable (−m option) or non-loadable (−u option).  Volume is usually a character special file specifying the SDF volume on which the boot area is found. 

If neither −m nor −u are specified, osmark reports the status of the OSF. 

The −v (verbose) option causes osmark to print additional information about the volume in the same format as that used by osck and oscp. 

When dealing with a multi-volume operating system, be sure that each OSF in the system is properly marked, not just the first. 

SEE ALSO

osck(1M), oscp(1M), osmgr(1M). 

DIAGNOSTICS

Osmark outputs an appropriate error message and returns a non-zero value if filespec cannot be accessed or is not an SDF volume, there is no boot area, or the boot area contents appear invalid.  Refer to osmgr(1M) for a list of possible return values.
