Preparing LUNs for Access by Tru64 UNIX
FileSystem
Tru64 UNIX treats an HSG60 LUN much like a SCSI disk; therefore, to prepare your
LUN for access by the Tru64 UNIX filesystem, you must do the following:
■ Create the partitions on the LUN using disklabel
■ Create a filesystem on the LUN
■ Mount the filesystem to be able to access it
