Sun Microsystems 817-3630-11 manual How to Create an .ini File Using the -nOption

One solution is to name the .ini file and its disk image using some identifying characteristic, such as the operating system installed on the disk image. You can only run one C: and one D: drive per card at a time.

TABLE 3-1Sample File Names in a Multiple Card Configuration

.ini File Names	Disk Image Names Inside Each .ini File
SunPC.ini (default)	C.diskimage
	D.diskimage
win2k.ini	C.win2k.diskimage

Unless you specify differently, the following convention is the default SunPCi III

3.2.1 graphical user interface (GUI) behavior when you use the sunpci command with the -noption. The stem of the specified .ini file name, for example win2k, is incorporated into the disk image file name as shown in TABLE 3-1. The following procedure illustrates this behavior.

▼How to Create an .ini File Using the -nOption

The following procedure assumes that you have installed an additional card or cards into your system. To create a new .ini file, follow these steps:

1.At the Solaris prompt, type the following command:

%/opt/SUNWspci3/bin/sunpci -n filename.ini

By default, after creating an .ini file (using the sunpci command with the -n), the emulated drive name will use the .ini name as the default name for the emulated drive, such as c.filename.diskimage. You can edit the name if needed through the user interface.

The Create a New Existing Emulated Drive dialog box opens.

2.Click OK to accept the default disk image name.

For additional information, refer to “Creating an Emulated Drive” on page 13.
