HP Dynamic Root Disk (DRD) manual Locating disks on HP-UX 11i v3 Integrity systems

Example 2-1 The ioscan -fnkC disk command output on an HP-UX 11i v2 PA-RISC system

# /usr/sbin/ioscan -fnkC disk
Class I H/W Path	Driver S/W State	H/W Type Description

=======================================================================

disk 0	10/0/14/0.0.0	sdisk	CLAIMED	DEVICE	TEAC CD-532E-B
		/dev/dsk/c0t0d0		/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0
disk 1	10/0/15/1.5.0	sdisk	CLAIMED	DEVICE	HP 18.2GMAN3184MC
		/dev/dsk/c1t2d0		/dev/rdsk/c1t2d0
disk 2	10/0/15/1.6.0	sdisk	CLAIMED	DEVICE	HP 18.2GMAN3184MC
		/dev/dsk/c2t3d0		/dev/rdsk/c2t3d0

On an Integrity system, the output looks similar to Example 2-2.

Example 2-2 The ioscan -fnkC disk command output on an HP-UX 11i v2 Integrity system

# /usr/sbin/ioscan -fnkC disk
Class	I	H/W Path	Driver	S/W State H/W Type			Description
============================================================================
disk	0	0/0/2/0.0.0.0	sdisk	CLAIMED		DEVICE	TEAC	DV-28E-N
			/dev/dsk/c0t0d0		/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0
disk	1	0/1/1/0.0.0	sdisk	CLAIMED		DEVICE	HP 36.4GST336754LC
			/dev/dsk/c2t0d0			/dev/dsk/c2t0d0s3	/dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s2
			/dev/dsk/c2t0d0s1			/dev/rdsk/c2t0d0	/dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s3
			/dev/dsk/c2t0d0s2			/dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s1
disk	2	0/1/1/0.1.0	sdisk	CLAIMED		DEVICE	HP 36.4GST336754LC
			/dev/dsk/c2t1d0			/dev/dsk/c2t1d0s3	/dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s2
			/dev/dsk/c2t1d0s1			/dev/rdsk/c2t1d0	/dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s3
			/dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2			/dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s1

IMPORTANT:

The above output includes block device special files ending with s1, s2, or s3. These endings indicate an idisk partition on the disk. Do NOT use a partition as a clone target!

The first disk in the above list is a DVD drive, indicated by the DV in the description field. Do NOT use a DVD as a clone target!

Some device files are identified as /dev/rdsk/. . . following the block device special file designation. This identifies them as raw files. Do NOT use a raw file as a clone target!

If you have recently added a disk to your system you may need to run ioscan without the -koption to display the new disk. See the ioscan(1M) manpage for more information about ioscan options.

2.2.2 Locating disks on HP-UX 11i v3 Integrity systems

To help find and select the target disk on an Integrity system running HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31), you can find out what disks are on the system with the ioscan command:

# /usr/sbin/ioscan -fNnkC disk

The ioscan command displays a list of system disks with identifying information, location, and size. On an Integrity system running HP-UX 11i v3, the output looks similar to Example 2-3.
