Conﬁguring Magneto-Optical Devices

After Conﬁguring a Magneto-Optical Device

Once you have conﬁgured a magneto-optical disk, it can be used like any

other disk. You will ﬁnd its performance somewhat slower than a hard

disk but faster than a ﬂoppy disk.

Consult the Optical Disk Library System Administrator's Guide that

accompanied the hardware for procedures on the following:

• initializing the disk surfaces.

• creating ﬁle systems on the optical disk devices.

• mounting the optical disk surfaces.

• using the optical disk library as a boot or swap device.

• using write-once disks.

• removing the optical disk library.

Also, refer to the section, “After Conﬁguring HP-UX for the Disk Device”

for a list of potentially pertinent tasks.
