How can I add a new SCSI hard disk

[pietro60]

I must to additional a second SCSI disk on OSF/1 version 3.2c but I don’t have too much knowledge, therefore please check the below steps if are wrong, please let me know.

1- Connect the new SCSI disk and set the ID to 1.
2- After the prompt type “ show dev “ and verify the ID hard disk is correcT
3- Start the boot
4- Create special file for that device “./MAKEDEV rz1”
5- Create the label “disklabel –rw /dev/rrz1c rz29”
6- Edit the c partition to make it used “disklabel –e /dev/rrz1c”
7- Format the partition “newfs /dev/rz1c”
8- Mount the new disk “mount /dev/rz1c”
9- Copy the file from the first disk to the new one.

Thanks

0- ">>>show device" to see which SCSI ID
values are currently in use.

Nor I, especially with a version before V5.0.
There is some documentation on-line for later
versions.

Chapter 7 ("Administering the UNIX File
System") may be similar.

1) "Connect the new SCSI disk and set the ID ..."
offcourse first set the id then connect :-)
depending on the hardware (like disk shelf), the scsi id may be determined by the slot you put the disk in instead of jumpering the disk.

"6) edit disklabel"
should not be necessary using partition-c (full disksize).

"7)newfs"
is used for UFS filesystem.
I think V3.2 allready had Advfs filesystem
Advfs has somke advantaged over UFS.
first do a "mount" to see what's in use for the current disks.
Advfs uses different commands to create a filesystem.

"8- Mount the new disk â mount /dev/rz1câ "
first create a mount point (mkdir /), looks like a dir (IS a dir when not mounted) but is used as a handle to access the disk (like /usr and /var)
8a. edit the /etc/fstab, so the disk is mounted across reboots.
