Adddisk(1)                                                        Adddisk(1)



NAME
     Add_disk - add an optional disk to the system

SYNOPSIS
     Adddisk [ controller_number ] [ disk_number ] [ lun_number ]

DESCRIPTION
     Add_disk enables you to add an extra SCSI disk to a system if the disk is
     on an integral SCSI controller (i.e., it can not be used for disks
     attached to VME SCSI controllers).

     The disk_number option must be specified if you are not adding the
     default ID of 2; similarly the controller and lun must be specified if
     other than 0.

     The Add_disk command creates the required directory, makes the
     appropriate device file links, makes a new filesystem, does the required
     mount operation, and adds the appropriate entry to /etc/fstab.

     Appropriate checks are made for filesystems already existing on the
     common partitions (0, 6, and 7).  If they are present, you are asked if
     you want to proceed before a filesystem is made.  If the answer is no,
     Add_disk exits.

NOTE
     Older versions of this command worked only with controller 0, and used a
     default mount point of /disk#, where # was the SCSI ID.  This version
     uses /disk##, where the first # is the controller and the second is the
     SCSI ID.

     Add_disk is a shell script and can be used as a template to determine
     what is necessary.  The volume header on the disk must already have been
     initialized with the fx(1M) program.
