Partitions and slices

In most OSs a single disk (host volume) is divided into logical parts called partitions. In some OSs,
partitions are called slices or disk sections.
For some replication manager job commands, you may need to enter a host volume's partition or ID
into a command argument. If necessary, see your host operating system documentation for details on
identifying partitions.
HP-UX disk sections
If you are a superuser for an HP-UX host, you can identify host volume disk sections by viewing the
/etc/mnttab file.
HP-UX supports up to 16 disk sections, numbered 0 through 15. Disk section number 2 refers to the
entire disk.
In the example below, the root directory is on controller 0, target 0, disk section 10. and the users drive is
on controller 0, target 0, disk section 2 (entire disk).
/dev/dsk/c0t0d10 /
/dev/dsk/c2t0d2
Linux partitions
If you are an administrator for a Linux host, you can identify host volume partition numbers using utilities
such as parted and fdisk -1.
