Configuring a CD-ROM Drive
6-2 Peripherals Configuration (R1001H) HP-UX version 11.00.01
Because CD-ROM disks hold only read-only file systems, you cannot create new
file systems on CD-ROM or use them for swap space. Continuum Series 400
systems boot off a flash card. This means they cannot use CD-ROM drives as boot
devices. However, Continuum Series 600 and 1200 systems can use CD-ROM
drives as boot devices. See the HP-UX Operating System: Installation and
Update (R1002H).
Configuring a CD-ROM Drive
The simplest way to configure a CD-ROM drive is to use SAM (see “Using SAM to
Configure Peripherals” in Chapter 1, “Getting Started”). If you prefer to use the
command-line interface, the following procedure will guide you through the task.
Understand the instructions before getting started. Instructions on using SAM can
be found in the HP-UX Operating System: Fault Tolerant System
Administration (R1004H).
1. Log in as root.
2. Check for available SCSI addresses (that is, unused addresses).
a. For Continuum Series 400 systems, check what SCSI addresses are
available on the external SCSI port to which you are attaching the
CD-ROM drive by entering
ftsmaint ls
Check for SCSI addresses used at LSM locations. The new CD-ROM can
use any other legal (0–5; 3 recommended) SCSI address. Figure 6-1 shows
a sample ftsmaint output.
