Add Disks to the Configuration

The CONFIG utility locates and adds disks to the controller. Run the CONFIG utility
whenever you add new disks to the controller. Enter the following command to start the
configuration utility. The disk numbers will correspond to the disk locations for your
subsystem.
SWXRC> RUN CONFIG
The controller responds with a display similar to that shown below:
CONFIG LOCAL PROGRAM INVOKED
CONFIG IS BUILDING ITS TABLES AND DETERMINING WHAT DEVICES EXIST ON
THE SUBSYSTEM. PLEASE BE PATIENT.
ADD DISK110 1 1 0
ADD DISK200 2 0 0
ADD DISK210 2 1 0

ADD DISK510 5 1 0
ADD DISK520 5 2 0
ADD DISK530 5 3 0
ADD DISK600 6 0 0
ADD DISK610 6 1 0

CONFIG – NORMAL TERMINATION
In this example, the controller has located 17 new disks. Note that CONFIG did not list
DISK100 because the controller was already aware of that disk. The 3 digit number
associated with each disk corresponds to Channel Number, Target Number and Controller
Logical Unit Number. The Controller Logical Unit Number will always be 0. DISK400, in
this example, corresponds to the disk located on Channel 4, on controller Target 0, and
Controller Logical Unit 0. DISK510 corresponds to the disk located on Channel 5, controller
Target 1, and Controller Logical Unit 0. The following diagram shows the mapping of
Channels and Targets for the Office Expansion RAID Enclosure:
