Planning to Configure into your System a Disk Already Containing
Data
Step 1. Examine all files for the presence of system and structural files (as
documented in the previous section) and remove any invalid references.
Step 2. Configure the disk as documented in “Configuring into your System an
Unpartitioned Disk Already Containing Data”, shortly. insf creates the
required device special files to access the whole disks. If the disk is used
in its entirety (as it was on 9. x ), the data will be accessed using the cpd.
• Series 800 disks with hard partitions/sections.
Step 1. Examine all files for the presence of system and structural files (as
documented in the previous section) and remove any invalid references.
Step 2. Configure the disks with Series 800 hard partitions by following the
procedure “Configuring into Your System a Partitioned Disk Already
Containing Data”, later in this chapter. You will create device special
files for each section using mksf or mknod. The cpd will enable you to
access the partitioned data.
• Series 800 LVM disks.
Step 1. Examine all files for the presence of system and structural files (as
documented in the previous section) and remove any invalid references.
Step 2. Add Series 800 LVM disks to a 10.0 system by importing the LVM
information, as documented in “Configuring into your System an LVM
Disk Already Containing Data”.
