AIX Installation
I am in need some some simple... straight forward instructions for creating file systems on AIX.
I have a raid controller and 4 18.2gb Hot Swap SCSI drives.
I am sooooo confused about Volume Groups, Physical Volume, and Physical Partition, and Logical Volume and Logical Partitions.
In a Nut shell though....
I have a raid controller that has 4 18.2gb Hot Swap SCSI drives connected. The raid has been setup using raid level 5 and it now sees all 4 drives as 1 drive called hdisk1. I have a bolt in drive that is called hdisk0 that has the O/S loaded on it.
I want 2 seperate file systems on the space that is on the raid. I have roughly 52032 megabytes of free disk space.
I would like to allocate 2032 megabytes to one file system
and 30000 to the 2nd file system and I want to leave the remainder undefined for future expansion as needed.
Anyone have any simple.. straight forward instructions or resource to look at for a clearer understanding of how the LVM works?

Hi,
How can I undo installation of a package on AIX 4.3 properly?
It's an install script. On linux, I usually just kill the process and delete from disk with this command "find .... exec rm -r {}\;". And it usually works. Can I do the same with AIX 4.3?
Thanks,

NAME
cd -- CDROM driver for the CAM SCSI subsystem
DESCRIPTION
The cd device driver provides a read only interface for CDROM drives (SCSI type 5) and WORM drives (SCSI type 4) that support CDROM type com-
mands. Some drives do not behave as the driver expects. See the QUIRKS section for information on possible flags.
QUIRKS
Each CD-ROM device can have different interpretations of the SCSI spec. This can lead to drives requiring special handling in the driver.
The following is a list of quirks that the driver recognize.
CD_Q_NO_TOUCH This flag tell the driver not to probe the drive at attach time to see if there is a disk in the drive and find out what
size it is. This flag is currently unimplemented in the CAM cd driver.
CD_Q_BCD_TRACKS This flag is for broken drives that return the track numbers in packed BCD instead of straight decimal. If the drive seems
to skip tracks (tracks 10-15 are skipped) then you have a drive that is in need of this flag.
CD_Q_NO_CHANGER This flag tells the driver that the device in question is not a changer. This is only necessary for a CDROM device with
multiple luns that are not a part of a changer.
CD_Q_CHANGER This flag tells the driver that the given device is a multi-lun changer. In general, the driver will figure this out auto-
matically when it sees a LUN greater than 0. Setting this flag only has the effect of telling the driver to run the initial
read capacity command for LUN 0 of the changer through the changer scheduling code.
CD_Q_10_BYTE_ONLY
This flag tells the driver that the given device only accepts 10 byte MODE SENSE/MODE SELECT commands. In general these
types of quirks should not be added to the cd(4) driver. The reason is that the driver does several things to attempt to
determine whether the drive in question needs 10 byte commands. First, it issues a CAM Path Inquiry command to determine
whether the protocol that the drive speaks typically only allows 10 byte commands. (ATAPI and USB are two prominent exam-
ples of protocols where you generally only want to send 10 byte commands.) Then, if it gets an ILLEGAL REQUEST error back
from a 6 byte MODE SENSE or MODE SELECT command, it attempts to send the 10 byte version of the command instead. The only
reason you would need a quirk is if your drive uses a protocol (e.g., SCSI) that typically does not have a problem with 6
byte commands.
