biodd_cfg
PURPOSE
Configures the block I/O AIX device driver.
SYNOPSIS
biodd_cfg
DESCRIPTION
The biodd_cfg command configures the block I/O AIX device
driver so it can access specific adapter cards. The
adapter cards which can be accessed by the block I/O AIX
device driver are adapters whose VRM device drivers are
written to interface with the VRM block I/O device
manager. These include the token adapter, the baseband
adapter, and multiprotocol/dual port (MPDP) adapter.
Before you run this command, you must edit the /etc/biodd
file to add the device names for the adapter cards you
want to access. After the file has been edited, run the
biodd_cfg command. This command must be run again after
each IPL of the system for the block I/O AIX device
driver to be configured to run with the devices listed in
the file. To run this command automatically at each IPL,
edit the /etc/rc.include file to uncomment the line:
# /etc/biodd_cfg
FILES
/etc/biodd Contains the device names
of the adapters to be
accessed by the block I/O
AIX device driver.
/etc/rc.include Contains startup routines.
