diskman(1M)                      DG/UX 5.4.2                     diskman(1M)


NAME
       diskman - menu interface for managing physical and logical disks

SYNOPSIS
       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 the diskman disk image at the
                      SCM> prompt.  The disk image, located on your /usr
                      logical disk, is /stand/diskman.

       stand-among    You can invoke this version directly from the command
                      line as diskman.  However, its role has largely been
                      replaced by the Device->Disk and
                      File_Systems->Local_FileSys menus in sysadm(1M), and
                      by the admpdisk(1M), admldisk(1M) and admmdisk(1M)
                      commands.  Diskman may become unavailable in a future
                      release of DG/UX.

       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
       "Managing Disks" in 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 cied(,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.

       displayregistereddisks            To display all registered
                                           physical disks
       registerdisk diskspecification    To register a physical disk
       deregisterdisk diskspecification  To deregister a physical disk
       displayldinfo logicaldiskname   To display logical disk
                                           information

       chapter "Managing Disks" in Managing the DG/UX System for details.
