Info

In case of Tru64 UNIX V5 running on the host system it is recommended to use the following commands to get information on the host configuration:

CommandDescription
#/sbin/hwmgr view devices

Get detailed information about the host hardware configuration

#/sbin/hwmgr show scsi

Get specific information about the host SCSI controllers and attached disks

#/sbin/hwmgr view hierarchy

Get information about the host controllers

Please reference to the Tru64 UNIX User's Guide for more details.

Info

In some particular situations it is also important to know the exact placement of all the peripheral devices on HP Alpha PCI bus. To get that information issue "show config" command at ">>>" prompt of HP Alpha console, for example:

>>>show config

...

PCI Bus

Bus 00 Slot 03: DECchip 21142 Network Controller
ewa0.0.0.3.0 00-00-F8-03-9A-6D

Bus 00 Slot 07: Cypress PCI Peripheral Controller

Bus 00 Slot 07: Function 1: PCI IDE

Bus 00 Slot 07: Function 2: PCI IDE

Bus 00 Slot 07: PCI USB

The "show config" command collects the following information of placement of peripheral devices on PCI bus:

  • Bus number
  • Slot number
  • Function number

Making disk images

In our example, possible mappings of KZPBA SCSI controller include disk and tape images. Tape images have not to be manually created whereas you have to provision disk images, as described below.

...

...> cd C:\
C:\> mkdir "My disks"
C:\> mkdir "My tapes" 

This operation can also be done using Windows Explorer.

Start the "MkDisk" utility from the "Start" menu to create disk images:

 

Div

The main dialog of the utility will appear:

...

Select "Alpha AXP" in the "Select System" drop-down menu, "SCSI" in the "All Controllers" drop-down menu and "RZ24" (for example) in the "Select Disk Type" drop-down menu.

 

Div

Press then the "Create Disk Image" button:

The utility will ask you to specify the output file name. Select the "C:\My disks" directory created just before (or create it directly in the dialog) and press "Save" button:
