I need help adding new disks to a systems. Cna anyone give me the makedev and mount commands I need.
Thanks
 
If you know the rz# of the new device, then go directly to the ./MAKEDEV command
If not, you have to get it using the scu command

#scu
scu> scan edt all
scu> show edt all (device # = 8 * SCSI bus# + Target#)
scu> exit
#cd /dev
#ls rz#* (check for any rz# specified)
#rm rz#* (remove any rz# specified)
#rm rrz#* (remove any rrz# specified)
#./MAKEDEV rz# (creates special files for that device)
#disklabel –rw /dev/rrz#c rz
(writes disklabel to the new drive)
#disklabel –e /dev/rrz#c
(edit the c partition to make it used)
#cd /
#newfs /dev/rz#c (Install new file system)
#mkdir /new_mount_point
#mount /dev/rz#c /new_mount_point (mount the device)

Don't forget to add the device in the /etc/fstsb file
You can find the same procedure in the Unix Manuals
Hope this Helps

Eshta!
