Installing UNIX for the First Time
For the remainder of the dialogue, ,etup will refer to your disk(s) by their
UNIX
device abbrevia-
tions. Next, ,etup begins the partitioning process for the first-named disk. If your configuration
includes more than one disk on a single controller, as in our example, ,etup will completely
finish PJU"titioning the first disk and then turn to the second. If you have multiple controllers,
you will be asked to repeat, this entire phase for each tontroller. Your configuration will be vali-
dated after all disks have been partitioned. If errors are found at that time - for example, if all
clients have not been allocated both file system and paging areas - you will be asked to edit
your specified configuration until it is correct.
The partitioning phase of the dialogue with ,etup looks like this:
Disk Partition Information
Would you like to partition device xyO into "n" equal sized clients! (yIn):
y
Enter the pub partition size (nnnM or nnnK)
- minimum is 17408K
- default is 20480K: 17M
Partition size rounded to 17472K.
Enter the swap partition size (nnnM or nnnK)
- minimum is 4096K
- default is 6144K: 8M
Partition size rounded to 8288K.
Enter the number or clients on device xyO: (1-3): 2
Enter a client's name: adam
E~ter
a client's name: eve
You are asked to declare partition sizes in K Bytes or M Bytes, and ,etup takes care of rounding
your partitions to cylinder boundaries for performance reasons. You can always type
'RETURN' as a response to a sizing prompt to get the default partitioning.
This partitioning phase of the dialogue sets up a
I
pub partition of whatever size you select (if
this is the first device being partitioned), allocates a standard paging area for each of your
specified clients (again, you determine the size), and carves the remaining free disk space into
equally sized user subpartitions for each of them.
This completes partItioning . for the first disk. If you have another controller, you are asked for
its type, and the number of devices attached to it at this time, and are then asked to repeat the
partitioning process for each disk. When all disks have been partitioned, ,etup asks for network
information for each of your specified clients and your network server:
