Creating the device map

You can create the device map from a non-root user ID.

A sample program create_devmap.pl is available in the /opt/ConfigGuideSample directory where you have installed ZD&T. To create the device map from a non-root user ID, run the following command:

perl <pathtocommand>/create_devmap.pl pathtodisks > generateddevmap

For example, perl create_devmap.pl /home/ibmsys1/volumes > generateddevmap

If you create the devmap manually, or edit the devmap that is created by the create_devmap.pl utility, you can run the following command from /usr/z1090/bin to verify it after you create the devmap manually.


awsckmap /home/ibmsys1/volumes/generateddevmap

For more information on the sections and syntax of device maps, see the "1090 Control Files" section of the zPDT® Guide and Reference.
