Configuring Optical Disk Drives
When adding optical disk drives to the Media Manager configuration, you need only
specify a character device path. Optical disk character device files are found in the
/dev/rdsk directory and have the following format:
/dev/rdsk/c
BI
t
TARGET
d0
Where:
◆ BI is the bus Instance number of the controlling bus. The Instance value is displayed
in ioscan output under the column I of the ext_bus entries.
◆ TARGET is the SCSI ID of the drive. This ID is in the third position of the H/W Path as
displayed by ioscan. For example, in 56/52.5.0 the SCSI ID is 5.
You can determine the bus Instance using ioscan -C ext_bus -f. The output is
similar to the following example:
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
============================================================
ext_bus 0 56/52 scsi1 CLAIMED INTERFACE HP 28655A- SCSI
Interface
ext_bus 1 56/53 lpr2 CLAIMED INTERFACE HP 28655A- Parallel
Interface
You can determine the configured drives using ioscan -C disk -f. The output is
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
============================================================
disk 1 56/52.1.0 disc3 CLAIMED DEVICE HP C1716T
disk 2 56/52.2.0 disc3 CLAIMED DEVICE HP C1716T
disk 3 56/52.5.0 disc3 CLAIMED DEVICE HP C2490AM
disk 4 56/52.6.0 disc3 CLAIMED DEVICE HP C2490AM
Example of an Optical Disk Device File
Assume you are using the two optical disk drives at SCSI IDs 1 and 2 as shown in the
previous disk ioscan example. These drives are on bus 56/52, which as shown in the
previous ext_bus ioscan, is bus Instance 0.
The character device file paths that you specify to Media Manager follow:
For target 1:
/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0
For target 2:
/dev/rdsk/c0t2d0
