Linux : Working with /dev



Question

Modify the udev subsystem in such way that /dev/usb-ext gets automatically created at boot time.

Solutions

1. Create a file named /etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb-ext.rules and insert the following parameter:
KERNEL=="sdb1", NAME="myusbdisk"
2. Reboot the system
init 6
3. Plug a USB key to your system and verify that you now have a file named /dev/myusbdisk.
ls -l /dev/myusbdisk

Sometimes, when you attending interview, the interviewer will ask you how to check server model in hpux and how to determine the processor.This command you can execute if you want check the server model: # model ia64 hp server rx2620 ok here, the server model is hp server r2620 with itanium 64 processor family. ok, now, lets check the processor detail for this model. # machinfo CPU info: 1 Intel(R) Itanium 2 processor (1.6 GHz, 3 MB)           400 MT/s bus, CPU version A2 Memory: 4076 MB (3.98 GB) Firmware info:    Firmware revision: 04.29    FP SWA driver revision: 1.18    IPMI is supported on this system.    BMC firmware revision: 4.04 Platform info:    Model:                  "ia64 hp server rx2620"    Machine ID number:      b4034445-1eb9-11da-9d16-9a789ce26540    Machine serial number: US53285374 OS info:    Noden

HP-UX : Hardware Path

Image
Before this, we discuss about how to check model or processor and today we will talk about the hardware path. In HP-UX , after boot process, the kernel assign every hardware to unique HP-UX hardware path, based on where the component is physically installed. The picture below, described each part of 1 hardware path all about. ok, lets go with hands-on. We can check the hardware path using ioscan command, lets say we want to check disk, we execute this # ioscan -fC disk                       // the options C is a "class" and f is a "full" Class     I H/W Path       Driver S/W State   H/W Type     Description ========================================================== ===================== disk      0 0/0/2/0.0.0.0 sdisk   CLAIMED     DEVICE       TEAC    DV-28E-N disk      2 0/1/1/0.0.0    sdisk   CLAIMED     DEVICE       HP 73.4GST373454LC disk      1 0/1/1/0.1.0    sdisk   CLAIMED     DEVICE       HP 73.4GST373454LC disk      3 0/1/1/1.2.0    sdisk
