Getting Started 1-
When you physically install a disk drive, tape drive, expansion cabinet, or other
peripheral device, you sometimes must configure the HP-UX operating system to
communicate with it. Many portions of a Continuum system are preconfigured and
do not require additional administrator actions, but some peripherals require
configuration in order for Continuum systems to recognize them. For many
peripherals, Stratus provides a simple value-added process that allows you to add (or
remove) peripherals dynamically without the need for an HP-UX operating system
reboot.
This manual provides the software information needed by system administrators to
configure peripheral devices supported on Continuum systems running the HP-UX
operating system.
Read this chapter for:
■ an overview of peripherals configuration
■ syntax of device special file names
■ information on using ftsmaint and ioscan commands to display information
and administer hardware
NOTE
Most administrative commands and utilities reside in standard locations.
In this guide, only the command name, not the full path name, is provided
if that command resides in a standard location. The standard locations are
/usr/sbin, /bin, /usr/bin, and /etc. Full path names are provided
when the command is located in a nonstandard directory. You can
determine file locations through the find and which commands. See the
find(1) and which(1) man pages for more information.
