hi there,
i normaly worked with linux, but at the moment i have to setup an dg/ux maschine ( intel based ).
ok, now i want to wirte a simple backup script 
i will use dd to copy scsi disk 1 to disk 2
under linux i would write something liek this :
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
or equal. but i don't understand the diskname system of the dg/ux system. i looked in /dev/dsk but i wondering about the devices there ....
in sysadm i have registert and formatet the destination disk. here some parameters :
source scsi disk = sd(apsc(pci(0),9,0,7),0,0)
destination dsik = sd(apsc(pci(0),9,0,7),4,0)
ok, if i start sysadm -> Device -> Disk -> Physical -> Copy and follow the instructors the system will successfull copy.
but this way needs to be connected and start it manual at the prompt.
can some one help / or tell me the disk names ?
have a nice day

Try using the "mount" command with no options to see what filesystems are currently mouted - that should give you an idea of what the disk names are.
Also, you may have luck searching Google...
i have used the mount comamnd bevore posting.....
but i wondering about the output :
# mount
/dev/dsk/root on / type dg/ux (rw)
/dev/dsk/usr on /usr type dg/ux (rw,largefiles)
/dev/dsk/usr_opt_sdk on /usr/opt/sdk type dg/ux (rw,largefiles)
/dev/dsk/usr_opt_networker on /usr/opt/networker type dg/ux (rw,largefiles)
/dev/dsk/usr_opt_X11 on /usr/opt/X11 type dg/ux (rw,largefiles)
/dev/dsk/var_opt_networker on /var/opt/networker type dg/ux (rw,largefiles)
#
ok, i see the device name is /dev/dsk/root ( .. ).
the complete disk is : sd(apsc(pci(0),9,0,7),0,0)
and the second : sd(apsc(pci(0),9,0,7),4,0)
the second disk in not mounted, not registert.
how to become a device name for the second disk device ?
thanks
patrick
( is seems that dg/ux is system that not much users have to adminstrate 
, but google is not really much dg/ux friendly )
...on comp.unix.admin ( or equal groups ) are too many dg/ux postings about disk names
