Step 4: Check the disk.type file

The olds commands, which you will be using to configure the Solstice DiskSuite software, obtain information about your disk configuration from the /olds/disk.type file. If your boot disks are not as specified in the Disks table in Step 2, check the disk.type file to verify that it names the proper boot disks for your system.

The relevant portion of the disk.type file looks like this:

Step 5: Set up the disk subsystem for Solstice DiskSuite

#arch

config

bootdsk1

disk2

scsi control

#Enterprise 3000

 

 

 

sun4u

notmirrored

c0t0d0

c0t1d0

dontcare

sun4u

mirrored

c0t0d0

c0t1d0

controllers=0

 

 

 

 

 

The bootdisk1 column designates the first boot disk; the disk2 column designates the second boot disk in a mirrored configuration. In order for the olds commands to work, the disks.type file must match your physical configuration: you must have disks in the locations specified in the file.

1. Set the environment to the Korn Shell by entering these commands:

# stty erase <Ctrl-H>

# ksh -o vi

(where <ctrl-H>indicates you should press and hold the Control key as you press the H key).

The stty command sets up your backspace key as an actual backspace. If you do not enter this command, you will have to use the Delete key as a backspace.

2.Make sure the CMS CD is loaded in the CD-ROM drive.

3.Copy the Solstice DiskSuite setup scripts from the CD to the boot disk by entering the following commands:

#mkdir /olds

#cp /cdrom/cdrom0/cms/reloc/rdonly/olds_install/* /olds

#cd /olds

#chmod +x /olds/olds

4.Alter your path:

#export PATH=$PATH:/usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin:/olds
