Configure disk array devices

Creating device files

Example
Example
26
Disks in the disk array are configured using the same procedure for
configuring any new disk on the host. This includes the following
procedures:
1. Creating device files
2. Partitioning and labeling the devices
3. Enabling command tag queuing
4. Creating the file systems
5. Creating and verifying the mount directories
6. Registering, mounting, and verifying the file systems
The SGI IRIX system creates device files for new devices automatically
during server startup.
The SGI IRIX uses the following formats for the device file names.
• Parallel SCSI and FC-AL
/dev/rdsk/dkscontroller#ddrive#{spartition#|vh|vol}
/dev/rdsk/dkscontroller#ddrive#llun#{spartition#|vh|vol}
/dev/dsk/dkscontroller#ddrive#spartition#
/dev/dsk/dkscontroller#ddrive#
/dev/rdsk/dks8d0l8s0
• Fibre Channel fabric
/dev/rdsk/nodename/lunlun#{spartition#|vh|vol}/ccontroller#pport#
/dev/dsk/nodename/lunlun#spartition#/ccontroller#pport#
/dev/rdsk/50000e10ff809999/lun1vol/c8p50000e10ff809999
