Dear Osf Managers,
We have bought two HD Seagate Barracuda 9GB (ST19171W) to put
into a storage bay BA35X (Wide SCSI) connected to an
Alphaserver 4000 5/40 running DU 4.0b.
We are quite confident about the success of the operation, but
we'd like to know if somebody had trouble doing the same thing
or if we need to take some special precaution (we'll do the
operation this Friday PM, and you know how all fridays are bad days
in the life of the sysadmins ;-) )
You'll find below how we'll proceed (thanks to GUNA SHANKAR.S from
this list) to a disk rz33
Any comments are welcome.
Many thanks.
1) clear an existing label if any :
disklabel -z rz33
2) write a default label, defining a non-bootable disk :
disklabel -wrn rz33
a_name_not_in_disktab_to_use_info_direct_from_the_drive
3) edit the label to define the partitions :
setenv EDITOR emacs (why not ?)
disklabel -e -r rz33
4) newfs, fsck and mount
