hp-ux 9.04 create disk patition

[Panuwat]

Hi all,

I have HP-UX 9.04. I want to add new disk device (model C2477) into the system.

The /etc/disktab >>

My step is
1. ioscan -fnC disk
2. insf -e
3. mknod /dev/dsk/c2d0s11 b 7 0x020011
mknod /dev/rdsk/c2d0s11 c 47 0x020011
4. newfs /dev/rdsk/c2d0s11 C2477

Why the command "newfs /dev/rdsk/c2d0s11 C2477" is not success? It return error "can't open device /dev/rdsk/c2d0s11".

Thank you.

Hi

Still in old age, I don't think even HP could help you.

what is the type of file system are you using?

newfs -F /dev/rdsk/c2d0s11 C2477

could help you

Hi Ravi,

Thank for your response.

The option -F of newfs in HP-UX 9.04 is not the file system type. But it is force.

I run a command "newfs -F /dev/rdsk/c2d0s11 C2247" not success. It still return error "Can't open device /dev/rdsk/c2d0s11".

Thank you.

What does

ll /dev/rdsk/c2d0s11 /dev/dsk/c2d0s11

and

diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/c2d0s11

give you?
