How to Configure a Floating Drive

Lock Name

Libl_Drive_1

Static Drives

The drives can still be used in the standard way using the static

 

hostname and the local device file. (You can use the local HP-UX or ATS

 

device file.) The local drives should be configured on the node. For

 

example:

 

Table 2-4

How to Configure a Static Drive

 

 

 

 

Hostname

Host_A

 

 

 

 

Device Control Path

/dev/rmt/0m

 

 

 

 

Lock Name

Lib1_Drive_1

 

 

 

The previous examples for floating and static drives show the device identified by /dev/rmt/0m and /dev/rmt/st3m. Both device files refer to the same physical devices, and therefore the lock name (Lib1_Drive_1) is identical.
