4. As a final verification, perform some basic UNIX operations (for example file creation, copying,
and deletion) on each logical device to make sure that the devices on the disk array are fully
operational.
Example
#cd /AHPMD-LU00
#cp /bin/vi /AHPMD-LU00/vi.back1
#ls -l
drwxr-xr-t 2 root root 8192 Mar 15 11:35 lost+found
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 217088 Mar 15 11:41 vi.back1
#cp vi.back1 vi.back2
#ls -l drwxr-xr-t 2 root root 8192 Mar 15 11:35 lost+found
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 217088 Mar 15 11:41 vi.back1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 217088 Mar 15 11:52 vi.back2
Setting and verifying the auto-mount parameters
Set up and verify the auto-mount parameters for each new volume. The /etc/checklist file
(which can also be called the /etc/fstab file) contains the auto-mount parameters for the logical
volumes.
To set up and verify the auto-mount parameters:
1. Edit the /etc/checklist (/etc/fstab) file to add a line for each OPEN-x device on the
disk array. This example and the following table show the auto-mount parameters.
Example
#cp -ip /etc/checklist /etc/checklist.standard
#vi /etc/checklist
/dev/vg00/lvol1 / hfs rw 0 1 # root
/dev/vg00/lvol2 swap ignore rw 0 0 # primary swap
:
/dev/vg06/lvol1 /AHPMD-LU00 hfs defaults 0 2 # AHPMD-LU00
/dev/vg06/lvol2 /AHPMD-LU01 hfs defaults 0 2 # AHPMD-LU01
