This procedure allows you to make a defined 128-port asynchronous controller available for use by the operating system. Use the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) to build the mkdev command, or issue the mkdev command directly from the command line.
Enter the mkdev command at the command line, specifying the logical name of the already defined 128-port asynchronous adapter in the -l Name flag. For example, to make a defined MCA 128-port asynchronous adapter cxma# available, enter:
mkdev -l cxma#
To make a defined 128-port ISA adapter cxia# available, enter:
mkdev -l cxia#
To make a defined 128-port PCI adapter cxpa# available, enter:
mkdev -l cxpa#
See the mkdev command for a detailed description and optional flags.
