Creating Partitions on a LUN Using disklabel
Create the partitions on a LUN by issuing a disklabel command. The disklabel
command partitions the LUN for access by the Tru64 UNIX Operating System. Tru64
UNIX defines only partitions a, b, c, and g for the HSG80 controller. In addition, refer
to the rz and disktab man pages for more information about the disklabel utility.
To create the read/write partitions on a LUN using the default partition sizes, enter the
following:
For V4.0G
# disklabel -rw device HSG80
Where:
• HSG80 defines this LUN as attached to the HSG80 array controller. Always use
the device label HSG80 regardless of what drive types make up the LUN.
• device is the character device name.
For example, to create partitions on block device, rza8, enter:
# disklabel -rw rza8 HSG80
For V5.1x
# disklabel -rw disk HSG80
Where:
• HSG80 specifies the type of disk as found in /etc/disktab or the driver for that
device.
• disk is the character device name found in /dev/rdisk.
For example, to create partitions on block device, dsk8, enter:
# disklabel -rw dsk8 HSG80
To view a LUN partition, enter:
# disklabel -r device
