2.) Ensure that the proper nodes are
present on the system. If your drive is Controller 0 Drive 3, look
for:
/dev/dsk/dks0d3s6
/dev/dsk/dks0d3s7
NOTE: If you
specify different partitions above for the two large partitions, then
you will need to look for different files in the /dev/dsk directory.
i.e.; If you specified partitions 2 and 3 for the big partitions, you
would look for:
/dev/dsk/dks0d3s2
/dev/dsk/dks0d3s3
If the files do not exist, you
will need to create them using the mknod command. To create a new device
node file, proceed as follows:
Determine the major and minor numbers
you will be using in the mknod command by looking at the major and minor
numbers for the partitions already listed. If you were working with a
disk on controller 0 device 3 you would use the command:
beowulf 2% 1s -la
/dev/dsk/dks0d3s*

Note that the major number is always
128 and that the minor number is 48+<SCSI ID>. i.e.; Major and
minor number for partition 6 is:
128, 48+6 ---> 128, 54
Once you know the major and minor
numbers, then create them using the following commands. You need to
create device files in both the /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk directory as
shown below for each partition.
# mknod /dev/dsk/dksld3s6 b 128
54
# mknod /dev/rdsk/dksld3s6 c 128
54
3.) Create file systems on the
disk partitions
# mkfs /dev/dsk/dks0d3s6
# mkfs /dev/dsk/dks0d3s7
4.) Create the
directory for mounting the partitions. I use a naming convention, which
includes the SCSI ID number and slice.
For disk on device 3, partition
6:
# mkdir /disk36
5.) Create the mount points in the
/etc/fstab file to appear as follows:
/dev/dsk/dks0d3s6 /disk36 efs
rw,raw=/dev/rdsk/dks03s6 0 0
6.) Test the entries in the fstab
file with the following command:
# mount /disk36
# df –k
(look to see that the drive is
mounted)
Your partitions
were configured as follows:
Partition
5 = 5786MB
Partition
6 = 5786MB
Partition
7 = 5789MB
1.) Ensure that
the proper nodes are present on the system. If your drive is Controller
1 Drive 4, look for:
/dev/dsk/dksld4s5
/dev/dsk/dksld4s6
ldev/dsk/dks1d4s7
NOTE: If you
specify different partitions above for the three large partitions, then
you will need to look for different files in the /dev/dsk directory.
i.e.; If you specified partitions 2, 3 and 4 for the big partitions, you
would look for:
/dev/dsk/dksld4s2
/dev/dsk/dksld4s3
/dev/dsk/dks1d4s4
If the files do
not exist, you will need to create them using the mknod command. To
create a new device node file, proceed as follows:
Determine the
major and minor numbers you will be using in the mknod command by
looking at the major and minor numbers for the partitions already
listed. If you were working with a disk on controller 1 device 4 you
would use the command:
Iris
2% 1s -la /dev/dsk/dksld4s*

2 root sys
128, 48

brw-------
1 root sys
128, 55
Dec 30 23:43
/dev/dsk/dksld4s7
Note that the
major number is always 128 and that the minor number is the next number
after the comma. The minor numbers go up and down in consecutive
succession. Just add or subtract from the existing numbers to determine
what minor numbers you’ll need for the new partitions.
Once you know the
major and minor numbers, then create them using the following commands.
You need to create device files in both the /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk
directory as shown below for each partition.
#
mknod /dev/dsk/dksld4s5 b 128 53
#
mknod /dev/rdsk/dksld4s5 c 128 53
3.) Create file
systems on the disk partitions
#
mkfs /dev/dsk/dks1d4s5
#
mkfs /dev/dsk/dksld4s6
#
mkfs /dev/dsk/dksld4s7
4.) Create the
directory for mounting the partitions. I use a naming convention, which
includes the SCSI ID number and slice; you can use whatever you
like.
For disk on
device 4, partition 5:
# mkdir
/disk45
** do this for
all three partitions being used
5.) Create the
mount points in the /etc/fstab file to appear as follows:
/dev/dsk/dksld4s5
/disk45 efs rw,raw=/dev/rdsk/dksld4s5 0 0
/dev/dsk/dksld4s6
/disk46 efs rw,raw=/dev/rdsk/dksld4s6 0 0
/dev/dsk/dks
1 d4s7 /disk47 efs rw,raw=/dev/rdsk/dks1d4s7 0 0
6.) Mount the
three partitions with the following command:
#
mount /disk45
#
mount /disk46
#
mount /disk47
Then type:
#
df-k
(look to see that
all three partitions are
mounted)
