How to Prepare a System for a New CD-ROM Drive

On a system that is properly booted with the boot -r command, Volume Management will automatically recognize a new CD-ROM drive. However, to make sure Volume Management always recognizes a new drive, create the /reconfigure file.

  1. Become superuser.

  2. Create a file called /reconfigure. 


    # touch /reconfigure

    The /reconfigure file makes the Solaris environment check for the presence of any newly installed peripheral devices when you power on or boot your system. After that, Volume Management locates the new device and automatically manages it for you.
