Appendix A Connecting and Configuring a CD-ROM Drive
Generally, connecting and configuring a CD-ROM drive involves the
following steps:
* Determining where to install the CD-ROM drive
* Using SYSGEN to configure the drive
* Connecting the drive
* Rebooting the system
To configure a CD-ROM drive:
1. Determine where to attach the CD-ROM drive by identifying the
location of the HP-IB or SCSI card. Note that you can daisy-chain
an HP-IB CD-ROM onto an HP-IB tape drive or disk drive. You can
also daisy-chain SCSI CD-ROM drives.
2. Determine the device number (also called the HP-IB or SCSI
address) for the CD-ROM drive. (The number must be unique for the
cable to which it is attached.)
3. Set the device number on the back of the CD-ROM drive.
For instructions on setting the device number, see the
documentation for your CD-ROM drive.
4. Logon to the system as MANAGER.SYS:
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS
5. Invoke the IO configurator in SYSGEN to modify the configuration:
:SYSGEN
sysgen>io
Add the device:
io> AD LDEV=ldev PATH=pathID=prod#
where:
ldev is the logical device number of the CD-ROM drive.
path is the hardware path to the CD-ROM drive (e.g., 36.1.3
or 52.4).
prod# is the identification number of the CD-ROM drive (i.e.,
for HP-IB, HPC1707A; for SCSI, HPA1999A).
The configuration procedure varies slightly for HP-IB and SCSI
CD-ROM drives. Examples of both types of configuration are
provided here. Each example shows two drives being installed.
SCSI Example
______________________________________________________________________________
| |
| |
| :SYSGEN |
| sysgen> IO |
| io> LP 52 |
| (to verify that path 52 has SCSI-DAM as PMGR) |
| io> AP PATH=52.3 ID=PSEUDO PMGR=TRANSPARENT_MGR |
| (to sdd the path for the CD-ROM with a placeholder as the ID) |
| io> AP PATH=52.4 ID=PSEUDO PMGR=TRANSPARENT_MGR |
| (If you have a second CD-ROM to configure, |
| then do the same for the other path:) |
| io> AD LDEV=11 PATH=52.3.0 CLASS=DISC ID=HPA1999A |
| LMGR=LOGICAL_DEVICE_MANAGER PMGR=SCSI_DISC_DM |
| (to add the devices; `.0' is appended to path identifier) |
| io> AD LDEV=12 PATH=52.4.0 CLASS=DISC ID=HPA1999A |
| LMGR=LOGICAL_DEVICE_MANAGER PMGR=SCSI_DISC_DM |
| (to do the same for LDEV 12) |
| |

HP-IB Example
____________________________________________________________________________
| |
| |
| :SYSGEN |
| sysgen> IO |
| io> LP 36 |
| (to ensure that path 36 has SPECTRUM_CIO_CAM as PMGR) |
| io> LP 36.1 |
| (to ensure that path 36.1 has HP-IB DAM as PMGR) |
| io> AD LDEV=11 PATH=36.1.3 ID=HPC1707A |
| (to add the first CD-ROM device) |
| io> AD LDEV=12 PATH=36.1.4 ID=HPC1707A |
| (to add the second CD-ROM device) |
| io> LD 11/12 |
| (to ensure you get the following listing) |
| |
| LDEV: 11 DEVNAME: OUTDEV: 0 MODE: |
| ID: HPC1707A RSIZE: 128 DEVTYPE: DISC |
| PATH: 36.1.3 MPETYPE: 4 MPESUBTYPE: 4 |
| CLASS: |
| |
| LDEV: 12 DEVNAME: OUTDEV: 0 MODE: |
| ID: HPC1707A RSIZE: 128 DEVTYPE: DISC |
| PATH: 36.1.4 MPETYPE: 4 MPESUBTYPE: 4 |
| CLASS: |
| |

6. Hold the changes you just made, exit from the IO configurator,
keep the new configuration, and exit from SYSGEN.
_______________________________________________________________
| |
| |
| io> HOLD |
| io> EXIT |
| |
| sysgen> KEEP CONFIG |
| (Keep the changes to the current config group. |
| This assumes the group name is CONFIG.SYS.) |
| sysgen> exit |
| |

7. Shut down the computer system:
CtrlA
=SHUTDOWN
When you see the message "SHUT 6," turn off the computer.
8. Connect the CD-ROM drive to the card using the path you
configured.
9. Set the voltage selector switch, if necessary, on the back of the
CD-ROM drive.
10. If you are installing a SCSI CD-ROM drive, be sure that it is
terminated.
11. Turn on the CD-ROM drive.
12. Turn on the computer and boot the system from the primary path.
The boot message varies depending on the system model.
If your system asks you to enter the boot path, enter the primary
boot path.
If your system asks, "Boot from primary path?" respond Y.
Enter Y if the following prompt is displayed: Interact with IPL
(or ISL)?
13. Verify the I/O configuration using IOMAP:
ISL>IOMAP
The system displays the I/O configuration for the system. You
need to check whether the CD-ROM drives have been configured
correctly by seeing whether MPE/iX recognizes them.
Examples of hardware configuration paths are shown below. The
paths for your drives are likely to have different values, but the
paths listed in your IOMAP output need to match those entered with
the AD command in the SYSGEN IO configurator.
Type
Path Component Name ID
--------------------------------------
52.3.0 CD-ROM Drive HPA1999A
52.4.0 CD-ROM Drive HPA1999A
14. Exit IOMAP. The following message is displayed:
Do you want to exit this program and return to ISL?Y
15. Press Y, and then press Enter to exit the program and return to
ISL.
16. Start the system:
:ISL>START NORECOVERY
17. When the system starts up, if you have an ISO-9660 CD in the
drive, you may see a message from the volume management system
(AVR):
VOLUME ON LDEV xx IS A DUPLICATE OF LDEV 1 (AVR 2)
where xx is the LDEV number you configured for the CD-ROM drive.
Ignore this message; it has no effect on the functionality of the
system.
You can now use the CD-ROM drives on your system.
