Configuring HP-UX for a Magneto-Optical Disk
This section gives instructions on configuring HP-UX for a single
magneto-optical disk. Configuring a single magneto-optical disk is done
almost identically to configuring any hard disk to a single-ended SCSI
interface card:
Step 1. Select the device drivers from the table, Table 6-2, “Magneto-Optical
Disk Configuration Requirements,” in the previous section.
Step 2. Follow the procedure, “Configuring HP-UX for a New Disk Device” in
Chapter 5, “Configuring Disk Drives, Disk Arrays, and CD-ROM Drives.”
Step 3. Unless you have purchased the disk pre formatted, you may need to run
mediainit to initialize the media. Refer to the hardware documentation
or mediainit (1) in the HP-UX Reference.
If you are configuring an magneto-optical disk library, refer to the next
section, “Magneto-Optical Disk Library Configuration Guidelines”.
CAUTION If you are configuring an existing 9. x magneto-optical disk to an HP-UX
10.0 system, be sure to read and follow the precautions detailed in the
sections entitled “Planning to Configure into your System a Disk Already
Containing Data” and “Ensuring Against Clashes with HP-UX 10.0”,
both located in Chapter 5, “Configuring Disk Drives, Disk Arrays and
CD-ROM Drives,” of this manual.
c. c#t#d#[s#] derives from ioscan output: c# is the card instance for
the class of interface card to which the device is attached, t# is the
address of the device on the interface, d# is the device unit number. s#
specifies section number and is shown for backward compatibility; the
entire disk (s0) is assumed when s# is unspecified.
d. Specifying scsi2 causes cio_ca0 to be included in the kernel.
e. Specifying disc3 causes target to be included in the kernel.
f. Specifying scsi1 causes sio, pfail, and pa drivers to be included in
the kernel.
