Installation guide
4. Create the special files for the root file system device and dump file
device.
• If you are restoring dump files from a local system, change to the
/dev directory and use the MAKEDEV command with the following
command syntax:
MAKEDEV mnemonic
The
mnemonic
parameter refers to a device mnemonic. See
Appendix A for a list of the supported device mnemonics. For
example, to create the special files for an RZ57 disk, unit number
0, and a TLZ06 tape, unit number 5, enter:
# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV rz0 tz5
• If you are restoring dump files from a remote system, change to the
/dev directory and use the MAKEDEV command with the following
command syntax:
MAKEDEV mnemonic
The
mnemonic
parameter refers to a device mnemonic. See
Appendix A for a list of the supported device mnemonics. For
example, to create the special files for an RZ57 disk, unit number
0, enter:
# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV rz0
After creating the system disk special file, configure the network by
configuring the network interface and creating the hostname database
(/etc/hosts). Use the ifconfig command with the following syntax
to configure the network interface:
ifconfig interface_id local_address mask
The
interface_id
parameter refers to the network device
mnemonic. Refer to the uerf
(8) reference page for information about
obtaining an interface ID. The
local_address
parameter specifies
the Internet address for the local host. The netmask
mask
parameter
specifies how much of the address to reserve for subdividing networks
into subnetworks. You can get the netmask value by entering the
ifconfig command on a system within the immediate area. For
example, to get the netmask value from the system ln0, enter:
# ifconfig ln0
Refer to the hosts(4) and ifconfig(8) reference pages for more
information. Enter the following commands to configure the network
