Installing and Configuring Mass Storage Devices Configuring for a Hard Disk Drive CAUTION: Configuring for a Hard Disk Drive Hard disk drive upgrades can be installed to accommodate local file systems and swap space on your workstation. Software Installation of the Hard Disk Drive Upgrade After hardware installation has been completed, you'll need to ensure that your operating system is prepared to exchange data with the device. This section provides instructions for manually configuring HP-UX to communicate with hard disk drive upgrades, in order to use the disks for mass storage and/or swap space. Note that your HP disk is pre-formatted. Although the device is well-protected from physical shock when installed in the workstation, it is very easily damaged when separate. Avoid dropping or striking a device. The factory-set SCSI bus address for the disk drive For an upgrade disk drive: SCSI bus address: 6 This SCSI address assumes usage of the disk as root. Although the configuration jumpers in the back of the drive are factory-installed and should not require reconfiguring, it is possible that the SCSI bus address jumpers for an upgrade may be shipped with different settings. Therefore, please see the Installation Chapters| for the drive and the procedure for resetting jumpers, should it be necessary. The following list outlines the software procedures you'll find in this section for installing the hard disk drive as a file system disk: • Verify that you have an unused device file with the correct select code and bus address for your device. (Use SAM). • Use SAM to: Install a disk on HP-UX. Build a file system on the disk (done automatically by SAM). Mount the disk so that you can access it as a file system. 6-11

Installing and Configuring Mass Storage Devices
Configuring for a Hard Disk Drive
Configuring for a Hard Disk Drive
Hard disk drive upgrades can be installed to accommodate local file systems
and swap space on your workstation.
Software Installation of the Hard Disk Drive Upgrade
After hardware installation has been completed, you’ll need to ensure that
your operating system is prepared to exchange data with the device. This
section provides instructions for manually configuring HP-UX to communi-
cate with hard disk drive upgrades, in order to use the disks for mass storage
and/or swap space. Note that your HP disk is pre-formatted.
CAUTION:
Although the device is well-protected from physical shock when installed in
the workstation, it is very easily damaged when separate. Avoid dropping or
striking a device.
The factory-set SCSI bus address for the disk drive
For an upgrade disk
drive: SCSI bus address: 6
This SCSI address assumes usage of the disk as
root
. Although the config-
uration jumpers in the back of the drive are factory-installed and should not
require reconfiguring, it is possible that the SCSI bus address jumpers for an
upgrade may be shipped with different settings. Therefore, please see the
Installation Chapters| for the drive and the procedure for resetting jumpers,
should it be necessary.
The following list outlines the software procedures you’ll find in this section
for installing the hard disk drive as a file system disk:
•
Verify that you have an unused device file with the correct select code and
bus address for your device. (Use SAM).
•
Use SAM to:
Install a disk on HP-UX.
Build a file system on the disk (done automatically by SAM).
Mount the disk so that you can access it as a file system.
