Sun Enterprise 10000 Dynamic Reconfiguration Reference Manual

reconfig(1m)

NAME

reconfig- initiate auto-configuration sequence

SYNOPSIS

reconfig

CAUTION

This command can remap device files and cause the renaming of known devices. Use it with extreme caution.

DESCRIPTION

Execute this command at the dr(1M) shell prompt after a new board has been attached to a running domain to make the devices immediately available for use.

Note -

As of the Solaris 8 GA release, manual reconfiguration is not needed. A new DDI subsystem, devfsadm, completes all of the reconfiguration tasks.

reconfig executes the standard Solaris configuration sequence in the target domain. This sequence consists of the following commands, shown here in the proper order: drvconfig(1M), devlinks(1M), disks(1M), ports(1M), and tapes(1M).

Note -

This command is available only for DR 2.0 domains (that is, domains that use the DR daemon) on the Sun Enterprise 10000 server. You can use domain_status(1M) to determine the DR version running on the domain.

EXAMPLES

Example 1 Using `reconfig`(1M)

dr> reconfig
Reconfiguration of devices in progress...
Reconfiguration completed successfully.

DIAGNOSTICS

The following diagnostics are supported.

Reconfiguration failed: One or more of the reconfiguration commands failed. Check the /var/adm/messages file on the domain.

EXIT STATUS

reconfig returns a 0 in the dr_return global variable upon success, or a 1 upon failure.

NOTES

If DR detects a usage syntax error, it immediately aborts the dr(1M) command, displays the dr(1M) shell prompt, and leaves dr_return unmodified. See dr(1M).
