CD-ROM Disk Drive
To update or add-on to your system software using a CD-ROM, you must have a CD-ROM drive installed and configured. Refer to Appendix E "CD-ROM Resources" : If you have a compatible CD-ROM disk drive, proceed to the subsection, "LDEV 1 Disk Minimum Capacity."
LDEV 1 Disk Minimum Capacity
After MPE/iX Release 6.5, you will be unable to use CIO or fiberlink drives anywhere on the system. It is recommended that you disconnect all unsupported devices before updating. PCI I/O HP e3000s LDEV 1 must be 2GB or larger. PCI I/O HP e3000: N-Class, A-Class To identify your LDEV 1 device, use the DSTAT ALL command to determine the logical device numbers of configured devices.
From either the terminal or console for each system:
:DSTAT ALL
If the device configured as your LDEV 1 is supported, proceed with "LDEV 1 Disk Maximum Usage."
LDEV 1 Disk Maximum Usage
If you are using a disk drive with over 4 GBytes capacity as LDEV 1, any disk space over the 4 GBytes is not available for use. It cannot and will not be used for system or user files. See Table 3-4 "NIO Systems" for a list of NIO systems. Table 3-4 NIO Systems
