/stand/system

[Richard Woolley]

installed fibre channel mass storage drivers on my K580 and part of the instructions sent to me by Hp was "check whether GSCtoPCI entry is present in /stand/system file, if its not there, make sure you include it under Drivers/Subsystems section of the /stand/system file".

It wasnt there, so I put it in, however if I reboot the machine it loses the entry... any ideas?

cheers,

mark.

Hi,
After modifying the file /stand/system, you need to generate a new kernel. You need to do this :
# cd /stand/build
# /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system
# vi system --> modify
# mk_kernel -s system
# kmupdate vmunix_test
# cd /
# shutdown -r

You can use SAM if you want

The easiest way is to use SAM->Kernel Configuration->Drivers.
There you can simply add GSCtoPCI with the GUI and SAM will do the rest.

edit the /stand/system file and add the drivers there.

copy the file /stand/system to /stand/system.prev and vmunix to vmunix.prev.

Now go ahead with the mk_kernel -s system and the kmupdate commands to regenerate the kernel.

Or the alternative (not a bad one) is to use sam to do the kernel. I believe that this may be easier to use but everyone should experience the pleasures of generating a kernel by command line vs. menu driven methods.
