Installation guide

d) To make sure the raw device binding runs whenever you restart the system, enter:

# /sbin/chkconfig rawdevices on

● If you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux system running release 5 or later, modify the /etc/udev/

rules.d/60-raw.rules

file:

# Enter raw device bindings here.

# An example would be:

# ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sda", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw1 %N"

# to bind /dev/raw/raw1 to /dev/sda, or

# ACTION=="add", ENV{MAJOR}=="8", ENV{MINOR}=="1", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/

raw2 %M %m"

# to bind /dev/raw/raw2 to the device with major 8, minor 1.

ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sdb5", OWNER=="sybase",RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw1 %N"

ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sdb6", OWNER=="sybase",RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw2 %N"

ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sdb7", OWNER=="sybase",RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw3 %N"

● If you are using SuSE:

a) Modify the /etc/raw file:

# /etc/raw

# sample configuration to bind raw devices

# to block devices

# The format of this file is:

# raw<N>:<blockdev>

# example:

# ---------

# raw1:hdb1

# this means: bind /dev/raw/raw1 to /dev/hdb1

# ...

raw1:sda7

raw2:sda8

raw3:sda9

b) Bind the raw devices by starting them with the script /etc/init.d/raw:

# cd /etc/init.d

# sh raw start

bind /dev/raw/raw1 to /dev/sdb1... done

bind /dev/raw/raw2 to /dev/sdb2... done

bind /dev/raw/raw3 to /dev/sdb3... done

...

c) To make sure the raw device binding runs whenever you restart the system, enter:

# /sbin/chkconfig raw on
