4.14.2 Mkconf Command Tool
The mkconf command tool is used to make a configuration file from a special file (raw
device file) provided via STDIN. Execute the following steps to make a configuration file:
1.
Make a configuration file for only HORCM_CMD by executing “inqraid -sort -CM -CLI”.
2.
Start a HORCM instance without a description for HORCM_DEV and HORCM_INST for
executing the raidscan command with next step.
3.
Make a configuration file included HORCM_DEV and HORCM_INST by executing “raidscan
-find conf” from a special file (raw device file) provided via STDIN.
4.
Start a HORCM instance with a configuration file including HORCM_DEV and HORCM_INST
for verification of the configuration file.
5.
Execute “raidscan -find verify” to verify the correspondence of the device file and the
configuration file.
Table 4.47 lists and describes the mkconf command
and parameters. Figure 4.69 shows an
example of the mkconf command. The configuration file is created as “horcm*.conf” in the
current directory. The log directory of HORCM is specified as “log*” in the current directory.
The user must modify the “ip_address & service” of an existing configuration file as needed.
