        SYNTAX

        diskman [ option ]


        DESCRIPTION

        Only the superuser can execute the diskman command.

        The DG/UX system comes with two versions of the diskman program:


        stand-alone    You invoke this version directly from tape when
                       you are installing the DG/UX system, or, when your
                       system is down, you can boot this image on disk
                       (named /stand/diskman on your root logical disk)
                       from the SCP-CLI.

        stand-among    You can invoke this version through the sysadm
                       diskmgmt command or directly from the command
                       line.

        The diskman program contains a complete set of menu-driven
        procedures for creating and managing your physical and logical
        disks.  When invoked without an option, diskman presents a menu
        of disk management selections, from which the user may select.

        For a complete explanation of the diskman program, see the
        chapter "Disk Management" in Installing and Managing the DG/UX
        System.  The information on this reference page is meant to serve
        as an outline of diskman's functionality.


        OPTIONS

        You can invoke diskman from the command line with the following
        options.  Physical disks must be specified in DG/UX common
        format, such as dpf@27(0).  Logical disks are specified by name,
        such as binky1.  Note that physical disk specifications contain
        characters that are special to the shell, so such arguments
        should be enclosed in quotes.


        listreg                      To display all registered physical
                                      disks
