Installing SCO UnixWare 7.7 Host Drive Removal When removing disks in UnixWare, the operating system may need to change the indices and system disk names assigned to the remaining disks. To safely remove a host drive from a UnixWare system, clean up the "ghost names" that are created when disk indices are changed by following the procedure below (for more information about "ghost names", refer to the UnixWare man page for sdighost). Note: Use /sbin/sdiconfig -l to determine the host drive (Host Drive #00) to system disk name (c0b0t0d0) mapping. 1. Unmount all directories of the host drive to be removed (for example, unmount / dev/dsk/c0b2t0d0s1). 2. Run the diskrm system utility to permanently remove the mount entries of the host drive to be removed (for example, /etc/diskrm c0b2t0d0). 3. Remove the host drive through ICPCON. Refer to Section 10.4.1.3, Host Drive Screen for further details. 4. Reboot the system. 5. Run srcghostrm - this will remove any existing ghost names (using /sbin/sdighost -r) and fix mount points for the remaining host drives (by editing /etc/vfstab). 6. Reboot the system again. 7.8 Remote Monitoring with the SRCD Remote Access Service srcd is the remote access service for IIR controllers. With srcd running, you can manage disk arrays from a remote workstation using storage management software (for example, StorCon) via TCP/IP. 7.8.1 SRCD Installation Instructions 1. The files needed for srcd are installed as part of the floppy package. 2. Configure /etc/srcd.conf to send SNMP traps or execute an external program (for example, mail) when a disk array controller event occurs. See comments in /etc/ srcd.conf for detailed comments and explanations on performing these configurations. 3. A script named S99srcd is automatically placed in the /etc/rc2.d directory, which will start srcd during the boot process (provided that /etc/srcd.conf has been configured as described in step 2). The srcd daemon can also be started manually by executing the command: /usr/sbin/srcd. 4. Remote administration/configuration of the controller on the UnixWare/OpenUNIX machine is now possible.
