5. Enter the major numbers for the device drivers into the table. You should now have
all required device and driver information in the table.
6. Create the device files for all disk array devices (SCSI disk and multiplatform
devices) using the mknod command. Create the block-type device files in the
/dev/dsk directory and the character-type device files in the /dev/rdsk directory.
Example
# cd /dev/dsk Go to /dev/dsk directory.
# mknod /dev/dsk/c2t6d0 b 31 0x026000 Create block-type file.
File name, b=block-type,
31=major #, 0x
026000= minor #
# cd /dev/rdsk Go to /dev/rdsk directory.
# mknod /dev/
rdsk/c2t6d0 c 188 0x026000 Create character-type file.
File name, c=character-type,
177=major #, 0x026000=minor #
:
#
Thecharacter-typedevicefile is required for volumes used as raw devices (for
example, 3390-3A/B/C). The block-type device file is not required for volumes
used as raw devices.
If you need to delete a device file, use the rm –i command.
