NAME
	  DEVCONF.TXT -	Diagnostic station: Defines the	devices	that
	  are attached to each node of a Paragon system.

     SYNOPSIS
	  /usr/paragon/boot/DEVCONF.TXT

     DESCRIPTION
	  The file DEVCONF.TXT is on the diagnostic station and	can be
	  created or changed by	the system administrator only.

	  This reset command and the Paragon diagnostic	utilities read
	  the file DEVCONF.TXT to determine what devices are attached
	  to the nodes in a Paragon system. This file must exist
	  before executing the reset script with the autocfg switch.

	  The file DEVCONF.TXT resides on the diagnostic station. This
	  file contains	a list of strings that specify the following
	  devices for a	Paragon	system:

	  o Ethernet devices.

	  o Hard disks.

	  o Hippi devices.

	  o MIO	boards.

	  o Paging devices.

	  o RAID devices.

	  o Tape devices.

	  You use the following	strings	in the file SYSCONFIG.TXT:

	  DEVICES    Specifies the beginning of	a list of strings that
		    define the system devices.

	  DISK cbs ID id name
		    Specifies a	node with a stand-alone	hard disk dev-
		    ice. This species the hard disk's
		    cabinet-backplane-slot (CBS) location, SCSI	ID,
		    and	the manufacturer's name	(for example, MAXTOR).

	  END_DEVICES
		    Specifies the end of a list	of strings that	define
		    the	system devices.

	  ENET cbs  Specifies a	node with an Ethernet port at the CBS
		    location specified by the cbs argument.

	  HIPPI	cbs rev
		    Specifies a	node with an HIPPI board at the	CBS
		    location specified by the cbs argument. The	rev
		    argument specifies the revision number of the
		    HIPPI board.

	  MIO cbs rev
		    Specifies a	node with an MIO board at the CBS
		    location specified by the cbs argument. The	rev
		    argument specifies the revision number of the MIO
		    board.

	  NOPAGER   Removes the	node number from the list of nodes
		    that can be	used for paging. Any node that is
		    defined to have a hard disk	attached is automati-
		    cally listed as a potential	paging node. This
		    token overrides this.

	  PAGE_TO device
		    Specifies that the device attached to a node is
		    used for paging. By	default, all paging uses the
		    device rz0b. The node is added to the list of node
		    numbers in the bootmagic string PAGE_TO. The
		    PAGE_TO string has no effect on the	boot node. The
		    boot node uses the default paging device rz0b.

	  RAID cbs ID id SW rev	LV level DC count SID sid name
		    Specifies a	node with a RAID at the	CBS location
		    specified by the cbs argument. The id argument
		    specifies the SCSI ID for the RAID.	The rev	argu-
		    ment specifies the revision	number of the RAID
		    software (for example, 3.02). The level argument
		    specifies the RAID level. The value	of the level
		    argument must 0, 1,	3, or 5). The count argument
		    is the number of devices in	the RAID. The name
		    argument is	the symbolic name of the device	that
		    is written to the file SYSCONFIG.TXT.

	  TAPE cbs ID id name
		    Specifies a	node with a tape device	at the CBS
		    location specified by the cbs argument. The	id
		    argument specifies the SCSI	ID for the tape	dev-
		    ice. The name argument is the symbolic name	of the
		    device that	is written to the file SYSCONFIG.TXT.

     EXAMPLES
	  The following	is an example DEVCONF.TXT file that defines
	  the devices on a Paragon system:

	    DEVICES

	    ENET 00D02
	    ENET 00D03
	    RAID 00D03 ID 0 SW 3.02 LV 5 DC 5 SID 0 RAID3
	    TAPE 00D03 ID 6 DAT
	    RAID 01D12 ID 0 SW 3.02 LV 5 DC 5 SID 0 RAID3
	    MIO	00D03 H04
	    MIO	00D02 H04
	    MIO	01D12 H04

	    END_DEVICES

	  This example defines the following:

	  o Two	nodes with Ethernet ports at the CBS locations 00D02
	    and	00D03.

	  o Two	nodes with level 3 RAIDs at the	CBS locations 00D03
	    and	01D12.

	  o One	node with a DAT	tape at	the CBS	location 00D03.

	  o Three nodes	with MIO boards	at the CBS locations 00D02,
	    00D03, and 01D12.

     FILES
	  /usr/paragon/boot/BADNODES.TXT
		    Specifies the nodes	that are nonfunctional on a
		    Paragon system. This file resides on the diagnos-
		    tic	station.

	  /usr/paragon/boot/bootmagic
		    Specifies information for booting a	Paragon	sys-
		    tem. This file resides on the diagnostic station.

	  /usr/paragon/boot/DEVCONF.TXT
		    Specifies the device configuration for a Paragon
		    system. This file resides on the diagnostic	sta-
		    tion.

	  /usr/paragon/boot/MAGIC.MASTER
		    Specifies the master version of the	bootmagic
		    strings for	booting	a Paragon system. This file
		    resides on the diagnostic station.

	  /usr/paragon/boot/SYSCONFIG.TXT
		    Specifies the hardware configuration for a Paragon
		    system. This file resides on the diagnostic	sta-
		    tion.
