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.
