Operating Systems HP-UX hp-ux 10.20 boot issue Post 302195933 by davel1000 on Friday 16th of May 2008 08:14:54 AM
Old 05-16-2008
That may be an option. I have never used make_recovery but understand it to be a part of Ignite-UX? How would I know whether I have Ignite-UX on the other workstation? If not, how do I get a copy of the CD for HP-UX 10.20? Maybe HP?

Also, per our prior dialogue, tape drive was located at /dev/rmt/0m. What are the typical locations for floppy, CD-ROM, and hard drive? I believe that this system has /dev/floppy/c0t1d0 for floppy, /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 for CD-ROM, and /dev/dsk/c3t6d0 for hard drive? Does this make sense i.e. both CD-ROM and hard drive at /dev/dsk/. What is the definition of, for example, c0t0d0 i.e. what is the c0, t0, and d0 stand for?

Thanks in advance.

mkdevmaps(1M)                                             System Administration Commands                                             mkdevmaps(1M)

NAME

       mkdevmaps - make device_maps entries

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/mkdevmaps

DESCRIPTION

       The  mkdevmaps  command  writes  to standard out a set of device_maps(4) entries describing the system's frame buffer, audio, and removable
       media devices.

       The mkdevmaps command is used by the init.d(4) scripts to create or update the /etc/security/device_maps file.

       Entries are generated based on the device special files found in /dev. For the different  categories  of  devices,  the  mkdevmaps  command
       checks for the following files under /dev:

       audio           /dev/audio, /dev/audioctl, /dev/sound/...
       tape            /dev/rst*, /dev/nrst*, /dev/rmt/...
       floppy          /dev/diskette, /dev/fd*, /dev/rdiskette, /dev/rfd*
       removable disk  /dev/dsk/c0t?d0s?, /dev/rdsk/c0t?d0s?
       frame buffer    /dev/fb
