Instance set to 1 instead of 0 for external DAT drive.

[B. Hulst]

Why does the instance number in ioscan gets set to 1 even if there is no number 0.

I tried removing, changing and combination but the only time I got the instance set to zero was when the stape driver was not in the kernel! When I put it in the kernel it goes to instance 1 immediately.

The command ioscan -M stape -H 8/16/5.0.0 -I 0
only puts it to instance 0 if stape is not in the kernel....

How to get it to instance 0?

(it is HPUX 11.00)

Hi,

I tried this and it does not seem to go away.
Anyway even if you use an ignite from this system on an identical it still finds it on instance 1...

HI
Did you use the "ioc" utility and solution given by Krege earlier in one of link in earlier post.

Or
Try manually creating it with mknod command.

Good luck.
Thanks.
