Add disk to HSG80 to extract data

[Trevor O]

I have a disk with some data on it and I wanted to mount it on the HSG and copy data across to a mirrorset on the HSG. This disk is not the same size and geometry as the disks in the mirrorset. I gave the disk a scsi ID of 3 and did a run config. It showed up as DISK10300 as expected. How do I get the HSG to offer this disk as a sigle disk without destroying the data on it? I want to then mount this disk onto a Tru64 server and mount the mirroreset then copy the data over.

Thanks,

trev

I assume that the disk does not come from another HSG80. In that case you need to tell the HSG80 that it must pass all disk blocks:
> set DISK10300 transportable

add a unit to pass it to the FC ports:
> add unit D9 DISK10300 disable_access_path=all
(D9 is an example - please look for a free unit address)

> set D9 enable_access_path=(C1,C2)
(C1 and C2 are connections which describe the Tru64 Unix server's Fibre Channel adapter, again an example)

Now you can do a scan for the new disk inside T64.

I followed your instructions and everything worked perfectly. Thanks Uwe!
