Managing Disk Devices
HP-UX version 11.00.01 Configuring Disk Drives 4-3
Managing Disk Devices
The procedures in this section apply to all cases of adding, replacing, moving, and
deleting disk drives.
CAUTION
Although SAM allows you to manage disk devices, do not use SAM for
any of the following procedures (add, replace, move, or delete a disk).
Using SAM might cause the procedure to fail and leave the LVM in an
inconsistent state.
NOTE
This chapter includes procedures for adding, replacing, moving, or
deleting a disk. In general, the only tasks you need to perform are
adding a new disk to an empty slot or replacing a malfunctioning disk
in its current slot. Moving and deleting a disk are rare events. However,
one such situation is when you replace a smaller with a larger disk. In
that case you must first delete the smaller disk and then add the larger
disk. The replacement procedure applies to disks of the same size
(model number) only.
Adding a Disk Drive
Use the following procedure to add a new disk drive to your system:
1. Log in as root.
2. Install the hardware, following instructions provided in the HP-UX Operating
System: Continuum Series 400 Operation and Maintenance Guide (R001H), the
HP-UX Operating System: Continuum Series 400-CO Operation and Maintenance
Guide (R025H), or the HP-UX Operating System: Continuum Series 600 and 1200
Operation and Maintenance Guide (R024H).
3. Configure the device into the system by entering
addhardware
This command updates the ioconfig file, writes the new configuration back
to the boot location, identifies the new disk to the HP-UX operating system,
associates it with its device driver, and creates the character and block device
special (/dev) files required to communicate with the disk. See the
addhardware(1) man page for more information.
