Peripherals and Fault Tolerant Hardware
1-2 Peripherals Configuration (R1001H) HP-UX version 11.00.01
Keep this manual, the online man pages, and any other manuals that were shipped
with your Continuum system available for reference when installing and
configuring peripheral devices.
Commands such as mksf, insf, and ioscan, as well as the Stratus value-added
ftsmaint command, make it unnecessary to manipulate the device special minor
number literally. The Stratus-developed utilities for the HP-UX operating system
provide the ftsmaint command, which provides similar functionality to the
ioscan command, but with added capabilities for administration of Stratus fault
tolerant hardware.
NOTE
Configuring a peripheral device requires that you operate with root
privileges. Exercise caution when acting as super-user.
Peripherals and Fault Tolerant Hardware
Continuum systems employ fault tolerant hardware and hot-plugging features
that simplify your tasks in configuring Continuum systems for peripheral support.
See the HP-UX Operating System: Fault Tolerant System Administration (R1004H) for
information about fault tolerant features. See the hardware documentation for
information about installing and maintaining Continuum system components.
Continuum system components are identified by hardware paths. Hardware paths
specify the addresses of the hardware components leading to specific devices.
Hardware paths consist of a numerical string of hardware addresses, notated
sequentially from the bus address to the device address. Typically, the initial
number is appended by a slash (/) to represent a bus converter or adapter and
subsequent numbers are separated by a dot (.). In order to understand how to
configure Continuum systems for peripherals, you need to know how hardware
paths map to the physical and logical hardware components. See the
“Administering Fault Tolerant Hardware” chapter in the HP-UX Operating System:
Fault Tolerant System Administration (R1004H) for information about how to
determine hardware paths.
