Install question

Manuel G — Fri, 25 Jan 2002 10:19:03 GMT

Hi all:

I??m going to install HP-UX 10.20 on a D210 machine.
I??ve never done before and so I read some manuals about.
From the reading I extracted folowing steps:

1) Fire on peripherics.
2) Boot from de "CORE" CDROM disk.
3) Choose "advance installing" for interact with LVM config.
4) Swinstall "Applications", "Suport" and "Extension Software" disks.

Is this sequence correct?

If I connect a new disk after instalation and reboot, is device file (dev/dsk/c#d#t#) created automatically or I need to run some command?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If you connect a new disk to your system and power-cycle your machine, the device file should be automatically created. The device filename is dependent on the controller you attach the disk as well as the disk's SCSI ID.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hola, Manuel.

If your disk is fast wide scsi, you can plug in it on-line. Then you must do an ioscan command that command scans all devices in system. Then you can do an insf command. this command installs new especial files that has no files created. And thats all.

Device created depends on the card (card instance), the scsi ID of the device, and the logical unit number, on phisical disks even are 0.
That is /dev/dsk/c(card instance number)t(scsi ID)d(lun number).

I hope it help you.

Hi,

When the system boots and senses a new device, if the device driver is configured into the kernel the device files for that device are created automatically. If in situation when the device files are not created, you can recreate the same using "insf -e" command. For the device files to be created, the device should be seen as "CLAIMED" in the ioscan command output. Any device shown with "NO_HW", the device files won't be created. The device might be faulty or the driver might be missing from the kernel.

Hope this helps.

Manuel,

In regards to your installation sequence, your order seems fine. Always install apps before patches in order to get all appropriate patches. There is an on-line install guide at: http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90126/B2355-90126.html
