IPS(7M)                                                   IPS(7M)



     NAME
          ips - Interphase V/ESDI 3201 disk controller

     SYNOPSIS
          /dev/dsk/ips*
          /dev/rdsk/ips*

     DESCRIPTION
          The IRIS 4D/60 system supports the Interphase ESDI disk
          controller.  The hardware supports up to two driver per
          controller.  The special files are named according to the
          convention discussed in intro(7m):

          /dev/{r}dsk/ips<controller-#>d<drive-#>{s<partition-#>|vh|vol}

          The standard partition allocation by Silicon Graphics has
          root on partition 0, swap on partition 1, and /usr on
          partition 6.  Partition 7 maps the entire usable portion of
          the disk (excluding the defect area and volume header).
          Partition 8 maps the volume header (see prtvotc(1m),
          dvhtool(1m)).  Partition 9 maps the defect area.  Partition
          10 maps the entire drive.  The remaining partitions are
          reserved for usage by Silicon Graphics.

          The standard IRIS 4D/60 has /dev/root linked to
          /dev/dsk/ips0d0s0, /dev/swap linked to /dev/dsk/ips0d0s1,
          and /dev/usr linked to /dev/dsk/ips0d0s6.
