SCO UnixWare7 diskadd command could be used to add the missing configured MSA1000 LUNs that are not listed by the sdiconfig command. Using SCO UnixWare7 fdisk command, one can create and modify the LUN partition table. Typical usage of this command is: # fdisk /dev/rdsk/cCbBtTdDs0 Using SCO UnixWare7 disksetup command, the LUNs can be configured to create and mount the file systems. disksetup performs the low level activities required to install the primary drive or additional drives. The tasks required for disk setup include surface analysis, that will assist in creating the
layout of slices (either through a set of defaults or by asking for details), writing the pdinfo, VTOC and alternates tables out to the drive, issuing needed mkfs calls, creating mount points, mounting filesystems, and updating the /etc/vfstab file. Typical usage of this command is: # disksetup Ie /dev/rdsk/cCbBtTdDs0 The intended Controller (C), Bus (B), Target (T) and disk (D) parameters need to be specified appropriately with this command. Using SCO OpenServer 6.0.0 mkdev hd, one can create filesystems on MSA1000/MSA1500 LUNs. mkdev hd presents a list of disks identified on the system running SCO OpenServer 6.0.0. Select the disk to configure and follow the prompts. mkdev hd process takes you through fdisk program to create partitions on the selected disk and divvy program to create slices and filesystems on the selected disk. Identifying Logical Volumes in an Active/Active setup To identify the logical volumes configured on MSA1000/MSA1500, login as root on SCO Unix system with the MSA1000/MSA1500 attached. Execute sdiconfig l and sdipath o list commands. Typical output of these commands for an Active/Active configuration with two servers is given below:
