Chapter 7: Tru64 UNIX Cluster Hooks - Device Naming Hardware Management

Overview

In the last chapter, we showed how the directory hierarchy had been altered in Tru64 UNIX, starting with version 5.0, to ease the transition from a standalone environment to a clustered one. In this chapter, we will dig a little deeper into this modified hierarchy as we explore how device locations have been altered as well.

We will cover the following:
