Installing the Device Drivers Note: Owing to a software limitation, OpenServer's method of statically configuring each disk into the kernel can cause user confusion. The difficulty arises from OpenServer's convention for naming drives. The drive_config utility overcomes this limitation by automatically creating the appropriate kernel entries and then rebuilding/relinking the kernel. The drive_config utility automatically creates device special files in the /dev/rdsk and /dev/dsk directories. These files are named in the c#t#d#s# (controller number, target number, disk number, fdisk partition number) format. On a data container, the files c0t0d0 and c0t0d0s0 point to the first container that was created. For more information on OpenServer disk partitioning conventions, see the appropriate OpenServer documentation. h When prompted by the idbuild utility, answer Yes to both questions. i Unmount the Navigator cdrom by entering the following command: umount /mnt/cdrom j Remove the driver cdrom from the cdrom drive. k Reboot your system to load the hpnraid driver. 4-25

Installing the Device Drivers
Note:
Owing to a software limitation, OpenServer
s method
of statically configuring each disk into the kernel can cause
user confusion. The difficulty arises from OpenServer
s
convention for naming drives. The
drive_config
utility
overcomes this limitation by automatically creating the
appropriate kernel entries and then rebuilding/relinking
the kernel.
The
drive_config
utility automatically creates device special
files in the
/dev/rdsk
and
/dev/dsk
directories. These
files are named in the
c#t#d#s#
(controller number, target
number, disk number, fdisk partition number) format. On a
data container, the files
c0t0d0
and
c0t0d0s0
point to the
first container that was created.
For more information on OpenServer disk partitioning
conventions, see the appropriate OpenServer
documentation.
h
When prompted by the
idbuild
utility, answer
Yes
to both
questions.
i
Unmount the Navigator cdrom by entering the following
command:
umount /mnt/cdrom
j
Remove the driver cdrom from the cdrom drive.
k
Reboot your system to load the
hpnraid
driver.
