Disktab entry for ST21S011

Andre Machado_1 — Sun, 09 Jun 2002 18:18:17 GMT

Hi,

I need to know what's the correct entry on
/etc/disktab for ST21S011 Disk (FIREBALL-ST2),
for HP-UX 9.04.

I tryed the entry:
FIREBALL-ST2: :2002.3 MB:ns#48:nt#19:nc#2144: :s0#1956086:b0#8192:f0#1024: :se#512:rm#5400:

But this doesn't work properly.

I don't have the correct specification for
this disk ( blocks, sectors, cylinder, tracks ... ).

I did search the specifications for this disk on Quantum Site, but I couldn't found it.

Can you help me, please!

Thank's

Andre Machado

Quantum sold off all their HDD business to Maxtor, try this:

As this related to 9.04 I did a search of the hpux-admin mailing list. and came across this:

This seems to suggest that patch PHCO_7461 will help...

Anything related to old versions of hpux can usually be found on these old mailing lists if you look hard enough:

Hi Andre,

try disktab -v /dev/rdsk/...
This should give you the main geometry parameters.
Other values can be calculated using the formulas described in /etc/disktab.
