Adding Peripherals to OS Configuration
MPE-iX
The goal of this procedure is to help you find the device path and driver before you shut the
system down.
1. Configure the new device. If you know how to configure the new device, continue with
SYSGEN.
If you do not know how to configure the new device, check the IODEFAULT file
iodfault.pw.sys using the Editor to find the correct driver.
2. Configure the device on an available path with like devices.
3. Make sure the system has been backed up.
4. Make sure that the operating system is ready to be shut down.
5. Shut down the operating system.
6. Connect the device to the system. Make sure the address of the device is set correctly to
match the configuration in SYSGEN.
7. Power up the device and the system. At the PDC prompt, access the PDC Information
menu. Use the
All
command to display all system configuration and card path information.
Or you can bring the system up to ISL and run IOMAP to check the device configuration
and device ID.
You can also load the Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) from whatever removable
media you have. Then run MAPPER to check the device configuration and device ID.
8. Bring up the operating system and finish testing the new device.
HP-UX
1. Login as superuser (SU) or root.
2. Enter ioscan -fC disk. This indicates the current disk configurations: the used and unused
SCSI addresses.
3. Shut down the OS as you normally do.
4. Set the jumpers on the new disk to an unused address.
5. Open the system and install the disk. Note the termination. If you are installing the disk
at the end of the cable, make sure the SCSI terminators are installed on the disk.
6. Boot to ISL and run MAPPER in the Off-line Diagnostic Environment (ODE), or IOMAP,
to confirm that the hardware configuration is correct.
7. Boot to HP- UX. Enter ioscan -fC disk to confirm that the changes have been made to the
system tables. Further information is available with the diskinfo command. The syntax is:
diskinfo / dev /rdsk/ cxd0s2
where x represents the logical unit number (SCSI address) of the disk in question.
