Reconfiguration Coordination Manager (RCM) Script Overview

The Reconfiguration Coordination Manager (RCM) is the framework that manages the dynamic removal of system components. By using RCM, you can register and release system resources in an orderly manner.

    The RCM script feature simplifies and better controls the DR process. By creating an RCM script, you can do the following:

  • Automatically release a device when you dynamically remove a device. This process also closes the device if the device is opened by an application.

  • Run site-specific tasks when you dynamically remove a device from the system.

  • Write customized scripts to perform other shutdown operations when a reconfiguration request is received. and which impacts the resources that are registered in the script.


Note -  The cfgadm -f command can force a reconfiguration operation. However, this command might leave applications in an unknown state. Manually releasing resources from applications commonly causes errors. Thus, avoid using this syntax for to perform reconfiguration.
