I am following the HPUX 11.31 install/update guide and I am trying to install "Update-UX" from the installation media. I put the CD into the drive, and I am trying to mount the device. The instructions state:
however I do not see a CDROM device in the results:
The machine is an HP Integrity rx2660. Is one of these devices the cdrom drive? I believe it is supposed to say CD or DVD in the description.
edit: solved. I had to mount the UsbScsiAdaptor as the cdrom device.
how would I search through subdirectories under the current directory and delete all files in certain directories.
in ThisDirectory....
want to go into foundMe directory which there are several in other subdirectories and delete all files in foundMe ?
thank you... (1 Reply)

Hi all,
I am looking at a MC cluster comprised of 2 nodes. There is a package named backup which does nothing more than mount a VG.
At one point we noticed errors in syslog that look like this:

There are... (1 Reply)

Hello, I have a problem on my backup server. I lost my system hdd and my separate ZIL device while the system crashs and now I'm in trouble. The old system was running under the least version of osol/dev (snv_134) with zfs v22.
After the server crashs I was very optimistic of solving the problems... (2 Replies)

pcata - PCMCIA ATA card device driver
SYNOPSIS
pcata@socket#:a -u
pcata@socket#:a -u,raw
DESCRIPTION
The PCMCIA ATA card device driver supports PCMCIA ATA disk and flash cards that follow the following standards:
o PC card 2.01 compliance (MBR+fdisk table required for all platforms).
o PC card ATA 2.01 compliance.
o PC card services 2.1 compliance.
The driver supports standard PCMCIA ATA cards that contain a Card Information Structure (CIS). For PCMCIA, nodes are created in /devices
that include the socket number as one component of the device name referred to by the node. However, the names in /dev, /dev/dsk, and
/dev/rdsk follow the current conventions for ATA devices, which do not encode the socket number in any part of the name. For example, you
may have the following:
+----------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------+
|Platform | /devices name | /dev/dsk name |
+----------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------+
|x86 | /devices/isa/pcic@1,3e0 /disk@0:a | /dev/dsk/c1d0s0 |
+----------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------+
|SPARC | /devices/iommu@f,e0000000 | /dev/dsk/c1d0s0 |
| | /sbus@f,e0001000 /SUNW, pcm- | |
| | cia@3,0 /disk@0:a | |
+----------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------+
PRECONFIGURATION
If a PC Card ATA device is recognized, the pcata driver is automatically loaded, IRQs allocated, devices nodes created, and special files
created (if they do not already exist).
Known Problems and Limitations
o You need to umount the file system before removing the disk.
o The ufs file systems on removable media (PC Card ATA) should have one of the onerror={panic, lock, umount} mount options set.
CONFIGURATION
Configuration topics include initial installation and configuration, identifying an unrecognized device, special files and hot-plugging.
Initial Installation and Configuration
1. Install the Solaris software.
2. Boot the system.
3. Insert the PC card ATA device.
Identifying an Unrecognized Device
If you insert a PC card ATA device and it is not recognized (no special files created), use the prtconf command to identify the problem.
1. Run the prtconf -D command to see if your pcata card is recognized. (A recognized device will appear at the end of the prtconf
output. For example:
# prtconf -D
. . .
pcic, instance #0 (driver name: pcic)
. . .
disk, instance #0
2. If pcata does not appear in the prtconf output, there is a problem with the PC card adapter configuration or with the hardware.
Check to see whether the problem is with the card or the adapter by trying to use the card on another machine and by seeing if
it works on the same machine using DOS.
Special Files
For PC card devices, nodes are created in /devices that include the socket number as one component of a device name that the node refers
to. However, the /prtc/dev names and the names in /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk do follow the current convention for ATA devices, which do not
encode the socket number in any part of the name.
Hot-Plugging
o If you want to remove the disk, you must unmount the file system.
o Use the mkfs_pcfs(1M) command to create a pcfs file system:
# mkfs -F pcfs /dev/rdsk/c#d#p0:d
o To mount a pcfs file system, type:
# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c#d#p0:c /mnt
o If you want to create a ufs file system, use the newfs command and type:
# newfs /dev/rdsk/c#d#s#
o To mount a ufs file system, type:
# mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c#d#s# /mnt
o To create a Solaris partition, run the format command and go to the Partition menu. For more information, see the format(1M) man
page.
