You need to find the parent device of the CD drive (vscsi0), then find vscsi0's slot number, then query your HMC to find that slot number. I use a "lshwres" command in this example. You could also look at your VIO servers' properties and figure it out as well. The example below shows that cd0 is being supported by the VIO server "vio0".
Hi,
I tried to install Magneto-Optical (MO) drive Fujutsu to COMPAQ Proliant ML350 with SCO Openserver 5.0.5. Harddisk and MO are connected to Adaptec UW-SCSI-3 (driver ad160).
During boot process system shows me that MO is connected to host adapter 1, bus 0, SCSI ID 1 and LUN 0. But when I... (2 Replies)
Trying to get my unix system to recognize an optical drive, it was delivered to us, so we assumed it worked, in the 2 years since no one ever has used it, we want to now. However, even running probe-scsi-all doesn't bring up that drive. It's a scsi address of 3, at the end of the chain, all... (1 Reply)

Hi guys,
I have not connected optical cable to the Dual port HBA before. My integrator used to do that for me all the time. Can someone explain to me how can I physically connect optical cable to the HBA port in P570.
The optical cable has two connectors and right now the HBA port has just a... (7 Replies)

I suggest it might... (3 Replies)

Hi All,
Is there any way I can prioritize my VMs when there is resource crunch in host machine so that some VMs will be allocated more vcpu, more memory than other VMs in kvm/qemu hypervisor based virtual machines?
Lets say in my cloud environment my Ubuntu 16 compute hosts are running some... (0 Replies)

mknod
MKNOD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MKNOD(8)NAME
mknod -- build special file
SYNOPSIS
mknod name
mknod name [b | c] major minor [owner:group]
DESCRIPTION
The mknod utility is deprecated on modern FreeBSD systems.
The mknod utility creates device special files. To make nodes manually, the arguments are:
name Device name, for example /dev/da0 for a SCSI disk or /dev/pts/0 for pseudo-terminals.
b | c Type of device. If the device is a block type device such as a tape or disk drive which needs both cooked and raw special files, the
type is b. All other devices are character type devices, such as terminal and pseudo devices, and are type c.
major The major device number is an integer number which tells the kernel which device driver entry point to use.
minor The minor device number tells the kernel which subunit the node corresponds to on the device; for example, a subunit may be a file
system partition or a tty line.
owner:group
The owner group operand pair is optional, however, if one is specified, they both must be specified. The owner may be either a
numeric user ID or a user name. If a user name is also a numeric user ID, the operand is used as a user name. The group may be
either a numeric group ID or a group name. Similar to the user name, if a group name is also a numeric group ID, the operand is used
as a group name.
Major and minor device numbers can be given in any format acceptable to strtoul(3), so that a leading '0x' indicates a hexadecimal number,
and a leading '0' will cause the number to be interpreted as octal.
The mknod utility can be used to recreate deleted device nodes under a devfs(5) mount point by invoking it with only a filename as an argu-
ment. Example:
mknod /dev/cd0
where /dev/cd0 is the name of the deleted device node.
COMPATIBILITY
The chown(8)-like functionality is specific to FreeBSD.
As of FreeBSD 4.0, block devices were deprecated in favour of character devices. As of FreeBSD 5.0, device nodes are managed by the device
file system devfs(5), making the mknod utility superfluous. As of FreeBSD 6.0 device nodes may be created in regular file systems but such
nodes cannot be used to access devices.

A mknod utility appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
