re: creating new VGs / mksf

[Gurcharan Sahota_2]

trying to create a VG02, on a new disk. How do I get the device number for the below disk. Do i use mksf?

the Server is a RP3440, running HPUX 11i, the storage array is a MSA1000.

disk 7 0/4/1/0.100.0.0.0.0.1 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE COMPAQ MSA1000 VOLUME

insf -H 7 0/4/1/0.100.0.0.0.0.1

should give you the device driver files.

Hope this helps

sorry the number 7 should not be there.. correct command should be :

insf -H 0/4/1/0.100.0.0.0.0.1

insf is what you want. In addition to Mel's response, you could also do one of:

# insf -C disk

# insf -e

Have a look at the insf man page for more info.

no joy, ran the command as stated, then ran an ioscan -fnC disk, but still no device listed.

thank you Patrick, insf -e has done the trick...

any reason why the other parameters wouldn't work?

[erics_1]

try: insf -e -H 0/4/1/0.100.0.0.0.0.1

to install for disk you should use
#insf -C disk
To install for all device
#insf -e

I have used 'insf -v -H hw_path' successfully without any problems. Also u may use insf -C disk as an alternative.
