HP-UX -- > Solaris/AIX Question..

[Anthony Goonetilleke]

Can someone tell me how you find device files for certain devices in Solaris. i.e if I wanted to know what device file I need to use for a cdrom in HPUX I would use ioscan to get the information, is there an equivalent for Solaris also for AIX if anyone knows...

Thanks,
Anthony

AIX: lsdev -C, Sun: sysdef
For more check this out: http://www.unixguide.net/unixguide.shtml and go under Unix Guide (table).

In particular, for AIX:
lsdev -Ccdisk

In particular, for AIX:
lsdev -Ccdisk
or
lscfg -v

This is the cdrom device in Solaris boxes running on SPARC platform /vol/dev/dsk/c0t6d0/

Solaris has got volume manager which automatically mounts floppies and CD-Roms and accessible to all.

AIX - Run "cfgmgr", this will scan the hardware like HP's ioscan, and if the driver is not loaded, the O/S will inform you what driver is needed once this command completes.

there's the /proc filesystem, which can be used to go from physical hardware to logical device file, but it's hard to understand...

for disks, one possible option (becareful) is to type: "format"
and not to actually format any disks, but use menu interface to see what disks are available on the system
uses solaris disk suite, I think...

to mount/eject cdrom, its easy: mount cdrom
eject cdrom
don't have to worry about device files...
