Re: How to move a T64 4.0F boot disk to another SCSI controller?
According to the release notes you need:
"The following software versions and updates are needed for the KZPCC-CE or KZPCC-AC support: Compaq Tru64 UNIX operating system version V4.0f with the New Hardware Delivery 3 kit (NHD 3) or Compaq Tru64 UNIX operating system version V4.0G The New Hardware Delivery 3 kit (NHD 3) is listed on the World Wide Web as: nhd3.tar.gz Tru64 UNIX V4.0F New Hardware Support The Web page is: http://ftp.service.digital.com/public/Digital_UNIX/v4.0f/"
From that same release note:
For the Tru64 UNIX 4.0F and 4.0G versions the format of the device name for a KZPCC-CE or KZPCC-AC virtual disk is: /dev/riNNN[a-h] for the block special devices and /dev/rriNNN[a-h] for the character special devices where NNN is the device number. The 4.0x stream UNIX kernel assigns device numbers as follows: device numbers 0 through 127 are assigned to the first controller (in the system scan order); 128 through 255 to the second, and so forth. Whenever a new virtual disk is recognized by the UNIX kernel, it is assigned the lowest unused device number in that controller's range.
I woudl also issue a SHOW CONFIG or SHOW DEV (or wathever that is called... it's been too long) at the console prompt with your virtual devices in place.
Good luck,
Hein.

Re: How to move a T64 4.0F boot disk to another SCSI controller?
The command './MAKEDEV /dev/ri0' gives the error 'MAKEDEV: Special file(s) for /dev/rio
MAKEDEV: unknown device in /dev/rio'
Any ideas?

Re: How to move a T64 4.0F boot disk to another SCSI controller?
This would be too silly, but that last 'o' in /dev/rio as presented here looks like an oooooh, not a zero.
I realize that could easily be a transcription typo, but on the other hand, the "MAKEDEV: unknown device in /dev/rio'" looks much like a cut & paste job.

Re: How to move a T64 4.0F boot disk to another SCSI controller?
[You may want to escalate this to support., our good intentions not withstanding]
>> Moved the drive over to the KZPCC and booted to single user mode to genvmunix.
So you use a physical move: jank disk, plug into other bay?!
From the documenation it is not clear to me that this woudl work, but it is also not explicitly prohibited/ The naming 'passthru JBOD' suggests that it coudl work.
That boot to single user genvmunix was for dev dzannn was it? and dka0 was no longer there, having become a pz controlled disk?
>>> The system sees the KZPCC controller and recognizes the other disks
So it is useful to think about using 'dd' to clone the original boot drive, mount it and change fstab to advfs on the target to anticipate the newly booted situation?
You did run this 'smor' tool and could see the moved disk right?
>>> show device
:
>>> run bios pzx0
where x = adapter number.
:
P00> run bios [hose] [bus] [slot]
:
* Virtual disks are identified by the RAID level (0, 1, 5, 0 +1, or 0 + 5);
* Hot spare drives appear as Hotspare
* JBODs appear as JBOD Passthru.
good luck,
Hein.

Re: How to move a T64 4.0F boot disk to another SCSI controller?
Try this way:
Lets say that your curent boot disk rz0 and new boot disk re0.
1. Boot from current boot disk disk
2. Make new device files for new disk if not created:
# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV re0*
3. Make disk partitions and boot block (depends what fstype you are using for / ) using disklabel. Do not forget to make partition for swap!
4. Make domains and file sets (if using advfs) or make UFS file systems with newfs (if using UFS
Example: Make root1_domain and file set root
# mkfdmn /dev/re0a root1_domain
5. Now copy all file systems using vdump and vrestore. Example:
# mount -t advfs root1_domain#root /mnt
# vdump -0 -f - / | (cd /mnt; vrestore -x -f -)
6. Copy all file systems from old boot disk, and when finished mount "new root" again. Then edit fstab file and change fields for root, usr, var and swap
For example:
Previous: root_domain#root advfs /
New: root1_domain#root advfs /
Very important!!!:
If using advfs for root file system, DO NOT FORGET to create advfs boot block with disklabel command!!!
You can also use graphics disk configurator, and select advfs boot block.
I use this procedure to make "spare boot disk", and it must work.
I can also make procedure for dd method if you ask.
