The disk number option must be specified if not adding the default ID of 2; similarly the controller 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), and if they are present, the user is asked if they want to proceed, before a filesystem is made. If the answer is no, Add_disk exits. NOTE Older versions of this script 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.

The autoconfig command is also a start-up script in /etc/init.d. The options are as follows: −v Requests verbose output from lboot and other commands. −f Generates a new kernel even if it appears that no hardware or software changes have been made. −p toolroot Specifies the directory tree containing the compiler and other tools needed to generate the kernel. −d /var/sysgen Specifies the directory tree containing the system configuration modules and binaries. −n Performs a dry run of lboot and reports whether a new kernel would be created or not. start Used by rc2 when the system is starting. stop Used by rc0 when the system is stopping. The autoconfig command also uses the /var/config/autoconfig.options file to tell lboot to configure a new ker- nel automatically or to prompt for permission before configuring a new kernel. The /var/config/autoconfig.options file contains a -T by default which indicates to lboot to configure the kernel automatically if necessary. This option can be changed to a -t to force lboot to prompt for permission before configuring a new kernel.

It can be used to make a full system backup by specifying the directory name as /. In case of a full backup this command makes a list of the files in the disk volume header and saves this information in a file which is then stored on tape. This file is used during crash recovery to restore a dam- aged volume header. The current date is saved in the file /etc/lastbackup. If a tape drive attached to a remote host is used for backup, the name of the remote host needs to be specified with the −h hostname option on the command line. For remote backup to successfully work, the user should have a TCP/IP network connection to the remote host and also have "guest" login privileges on that host. If the local or remote tape device is pointed to by a device file other than /dev/tape, the device should be specified by the −t tapedevice option. If a backup of all files modified since the date specified in the /etc/lastbackup file is desired, the −i option should be specified. This option is only valid when doing a complete backup. The Backup command uses bru to perform the backup function. FILES /tmp/volhdrlist − contains the list of the root volume header files /etc/lastbackup − contains the date of last full backup SEE ALSO Restore(1), List_tape(1), bru(1). 1 hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhBOOTP(1M) BOOTP(1M) NAME bootp − server for Internet Bootstrap Protocol SYNOPSIS /usr/etc/bootp [ −d][−f] DESCRIPTION Bootp is a server that supports the Internet Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). This protocol is designed to allow a (possibly diskless) client machine to determine its own Internet address, the address of a boot server and the name of an appropriate boot file to be loaded and executed. BOOTP does not provide the actual transfer of the boot file, which is typically done with a simple file transfer protocol such as TFTP. A detailed protocol specification for BOOTP is contained in RFC 951, which is available from the Network Information Center. The BOOTP protocol uses UDP/IP as its transport mechanism. The BOOTP server receives service requests at the UDP port indicated in the ‘‘bootp’’ service description contained in the file /etc/services (see services(4)).
