Hi All,
This is my first time posting to this list... Thanks in advance for your help.
I am having a problem installing a new disk on an Alpha DS10 running
5.1A. Most of the machines I administer still run 4.0f, so I'm a bit of a
novice with 5.1A's hardware management tools.
The disk is recognized at the firmware level but does not show up when the
system is booted into single user mode. The new disk is an LVD 18GB and is
installed on a 2nd controller. The new disk is internal while the other 4
are in a cabinet.
Here is the firmware display:
>>>show dev
dka0.0.0.14.0 DKA0 SEAGATE ST39236LW 0010
dka100.1.0.14.0 DKA100 SEAGATE ST39236LW 0010
dka200.2.0.14.0 DKA200 SEAGATE ST39236LW 0010
dka300.3.0.14.0 DKA300 SEAGATE ST39236LW 0010
dkb0.0.0.15.0 DKB0 SEAGATE ST318406LC 010A
dqa0.0.0.13.0 DQA0 Compaq CRD-8402B 1.03
dva0.0.0.0.0 DVA0
mka600.6.0.14.0 MKA600 HP C1537A L005
ewa0.0.0.9.0 EWA0 00-10-64-30-15-F7
ewb0.0.0.11.0 EWB0 00-10-64-30-16-34
pka0.7.0.14.0 PKA0 SCSI Bus ID 7 5.57
pkb0.7.0.15.0 PKB0 SCSI Bus ID 7
It's clearly being recognized as DKB0 on PKB0.
However, in single-user mode:
# /sbin/scu show edt
CAM Equipment Device Table (EDT) Information:
Bus/Target/Lun Device Type ANSI Vendor ID Product ID Revision N/W

2 3 0 Direct SCSI-3 SEAGATE ST39236LW 0010 W
2 6 0 Sequential SCSI-2 HP C1537A L005 N
My understanding is that MAKEDEV is no longer used in 5.1A, and that the
system is supposed to recognize the device and create the appropriate
device files. In this case I think they should be /dev/disk/dsk4*, but
they don't exist so I can't label this disk:
# cd /dev/disk
# ls
cdrom0a dsk0d dsk1a dsk1f dsk2c dsk2h dsk3e floppy0c
cdrom0c dsk0e dsk1b dsk1g dsk2d dsk3a dsk3f
dsk0a dsk0f dsk1c dsk1h dsk2e dsk3b dsk3g
dsk0b dsk0g dsk1d dsk2a dsk2f dsk3c dsk3h
dsk0c dsk0h dsk1e dsk2b dsk2g dsk3d floppy0a
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Richard
