x86: Disk Configuration File Example

The following example shows how to create a single–disk configuration file, 500_test, on an x86 system that contains a 500-Mbyte disk.

Example 27–8 x86: Creating a Disk Configuration File

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


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

The 500_test file looks like the following:

 * /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 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
*
* Id  Act Bhead Bsect Bcyl  Ehead  Esec  Ecyl Rsect  Numsect
 130  128 44    3     0     46    30    1001 1410   2050140
* /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 partition map
*
* Dimensions:
*      512 bytes/sector
*       94 sectors/track
*       15 tracks/cylinder
*     1110 sectors/cylinder
*     1454 cylinders
*     1452 accessible cylinders
*
* Flags:
*   1: unmountable
*  10: read-only
*                          First    Sector    Last

You have created disk configuration files for an x86 based system. Testing a Profile contains information about using disk configuration files to test profiles.
