Creating an HP Service Partition
Creating the HP Service Partition
Appendix A140
NOTE In the example shown above, the boot device file name is listed in the
ASSOC column with the two-digit partition number (s2 in this example).
Remove the partition number to obtain the device file name.
Step 2. Run the idisk command on the boot disk. For example, on LVM enter:
# idisk -p /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2
Example A-1 on page 140 shows idisk output without an HP Service
Partition installed; Example A-2 on page 141 shows idisk output with
an HP Service Partition installed.
Example A-1 idisk Output Showing No HP Service Partition Installed
idisk version: 1.31
