Use the ADEV command to add the device, including the device address, to the path specified with the
APATH command. Enter:
io> adev 14 1/0/0/0.6.0 ST39103LC class=(DISC,SPOOL)
Refer to Chapter 5, “Modifying Input/Output (I/O) Configurations,” for additional information on using
the ADEV command.
9. Hold all changes.
Enter the IO configurator HOLD command at the IO configurator prompt:
io>HOLD
Refer to Chapter 5, “Modifying Input/Output (I/O) Configurations,” for additional information on using
the HOLD command.
10. Exit the IO configurator.
Enter the EXIT command at the IO configurator prompt:
io>EXIT
sysgen>
11. Save changes in a permanent file.
Enter the global module KEEP command at the SYSGEN prompt:
sysgen>KEEP CONFIG
CONFIG is the group name under which you save the modified files. Each time you start up the system, the
group CONFIG will then be the default.
Refer to Chapter 4, “Using the System Generator (SYSGEN),” for additional information on using the
KEEP command.
12. Generate a boot tape.
Mount a write-enabled tape on the tape drive. Enter:
sysgen>TAPE
The system may place a tape request similar to the following:
?11:10/#S1/46/LDEV# FOR "SYSGTAPE" ON TAPE (NUM)?
If this message appears, respond:
CTRL A
=REPLY pin,7
where pin is the PIN (in this instance 46) from the third location in the tape request.
After all the files are stored, unload the tape, and write protect it. Label the tape, and store it, in a secure
location, with any other backup materials.
13. Exit SYSGEN and reboot the system.
sysgen>EXIT
NOTE Any disk device smaller than 400 Mbytes should not be installed as the system disk (LDEV 1).
A disk this size or smaller is too small to run the operating system and its subsystems. A
400-Mbyte or smaller disk, however, can be used as any other LDEV.
