Chapter 3

Planning for Your Task

3.5 Checking Peripherals

Proceed to the subsection for your device:

• CD-ROM Disk Drive

•SCSI Tape Devices

Then review the following subsections:

• LDEV1 Disk Minimum Capacity

• LDEV1 Disk Maximum Capacity

CD-ROM Disk Drive

To update or add-on to your system software using a CD-ROM, you must have a CD-ROM drive installed and

configured. Refer to Appendix E, “CD-ROM Resources.” :

If you have a compatible CD-ROM disk drive, proceed to the subsection, “LDEV 1 Disk Minimum Capacity.”

LDEV 1 Disk Minimum Capacity

Starting with MPE/iX Release 6.5, you will be unable to use CIO or fiberlink drives anywhere on the system.

It is recommended that you disconnect all unsupported devices before updating.

PCI I/O HP e3000s LDEV 1 must be 2GB or larger.

PCI I/O HP e3000: N-Class, A-Class

To identify your LDEV 1 device, use the DSTAT ALL command to determine the logical device numbers of

configured devices.

1. From either the terminal or console for each system:

:DSTAT ALL

2. If the device configured as your LDEV 1 is supported, proceed with “LDEV 1 Disk Maximum Usage.”

LDEV 1 Disk Maximum Usage

If you are using a disk drive with over 4 GBytes capacity as LDEV 1, any disk space over the 4 GBytes is not

available for use. It cannot and will not be used for system or user files.

See Table 3-4 for a list of NIO systems.
