Base device configuration phase

Edit online

The init process starts the rc.boot script. Phase 1 of the rc.boot script performs the base device configuration.

Phase 1 of the rc.boot script includes the following steps:

  1. The boot script calls the restbase program to build the customized Object Data Manager (ODM) database in the RAM file system from the compressed customized data.
  2. The boot script starts the configuration manager, which accesses phase 1 ODM configuration rules to configure the base devices.
  3. The configuration manager starts the sys, bus, disk, SCSI, and the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and rootvg volume group configuration methods.
  4. The configuration methods load the device drivers, create special files, and update the customized data in the ODM database.
