Example

The following example creates a single disk configuration file, 500_test, on an x86-based system with a 500-Mbyte disk.

First, you would save the output of the fdisk command to a file named 500_test:



# fdisk -R -W 500_test -h /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0p0

The 500_test file would look like this:


 * /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0p0 default fdisk table
* Dimensions:
*     512 bytes/sector
*      94 sectors/track
*      15 tracks/cylinder
*    1455 cylinders
*
*  HBA Dimensions:
*     512 bytes/sector
*      94 sectors/track
*      15 tracks/cylinder
*    1455 cylinders
*
* systid:
*  1:    DOSOS12
*  2:    PCIXOS
*  4:    DOSOS16
*  5:    EXTDOS
*  6:    DOSBIG
*  86:   DOSDATA
*  98:   OTHEROS
*  99:   UNIXOS
* 130:   SUNIXOS
*
* Id  Act Bhead Bsect   Bcyl  Ehead  Esect  Ecyl Rsect  Numsect
 130  128 44    3       0     46    30     1001 1410   2050140

Second, you would append the output of the prtvtoc command to the 500_test file:



# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 >> 500_test

The 500_test file is now a complete disk configuration file:


* /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0p0 default fdisk table	
* Dimensions:
*     512 bytes/sector
*      94 sectors/track
*      15 tracks/cylinder
*    1455 cylinders
*
*  HBA Dimensions:
*     512 bytes/sector
*      94 sectors/track
*      15 tracks/cylinder
*    1455 cylinders
*
* systid:
*  1:    DOSOS12
*  2:    PCIXOS
*  4:    DOSOS16
*  5:    EXTDOS
*  6:    DOSBIG
*  86:   DOSDATA
*  98:   OTHEROS
*  99:   UNIXOS
*  130:  SUNIXOS

*     1454 cylinders
*     1452 accessible cylinders
