Creating a
Device File for
the Robotics
Controller
1.
Use the
mknod
command to create a device file to access the
robotics controller. The command syntax is:
/user/sbin/mknod /dev/scsi/<devfilename> c
<majornum> <minornum>
<
devfilename
> is the user-defined name of the device file.
<
majornum
> is the character major number from the
lsdev
command.
<
minornum
> is the minor number in the format
0xIITL00
;
where
II
is the two-digit card instance number in
hexadecimal;
T
is the target SCSI ID number;
L
is the LUN
