Configuring into Your System a Partitioned Disk Already Containing
Data
Step 7. Execute /usr/sbin/ioscan -fun
-C disk again, to verify that the disk device configured successfully and
to identify its whole-disk device special files (/dev/[r]dsk/c#t#d#).
Step 8. Use the mksf command to create device special files for each individual
section being used on the disk. (Refer to the printout of /etc/checklist
to identify the sections.)
Note, as of HP-UX 10.0, sections 2 and 0 have been switched: s0 now
specifies whole disk; s2 specifies the portion of the disk that was
previously represented by s0. Also, since sections are only minimally
supported at 10.0, consult earlier documentation or version of
/etc/disktab for disk sectioning geometry.
For example,
/sbin/mksf -C disk [ -H hardware_path -I instance ] -s
section_number
/sbin/mksf -C disk [ -H hardware_path -I instance ] -r -s
section_number
Step 9. Execute /usr/sbin/ioscan -fun
-H hardware_path to verify that the device special files were created
successfully.
