Eduardo, can you please run:

su -
/sbin/scu scan edt
/sbin/scu show edt

Is the disco visible in the show output ?
Suppose the new RZ29L is on bus 1, target 4, then do the following:

cd /dev
./MAKEDEV rz12

You should now be able to label the disk with:

disklabel -rw rz12 RZXX

Rgds,
Johan.

I have rz29l-aa disk, but not exist entrie in disktab file, s.o. Tru64 Unix 4.0F, then i can't partition.

[Fedor Poradovsky]

if you will use
disklabel -rw rz12 RZXX
then RZXX means, that it unknown disk,
generic disk. As I remember its geometry
will be set acording scu (you can look
at it an create own disktab entry), and
default partition layout.

the Johan's reply contained this command.
I send you only note disk type selection.

Best Regards
Fedor

Eduardo,

you are talking about a rz29l-va?
There is no rz29l-aa.
You added only one disk and no controller, right?
What kind of controller are you using?
Check on cabling and termination.

greetings,

Michael

Eduardo,
do not search rz29l-aa. the -aa means only packaging and interface, in this case internal disk. The relavant information is rz29l. It is in disktab on Tru64 4.0F and you can than write command
disklabel -rw /dev/rrz??c rz19l

To restate more clearly.

In V4.0F and higher, /etc/disktab is obsolete, not used & useless.

The disklabel command gets it's information about the geometry and capabilities of the disk via scsi inquiries towards the device itself.
