Dynamically Configuring Devices (Tasks)

This chapter provides instructions for dynamically configuring devices in the Oracle Solaris OS. You can add, remove, or replace devices in the Oracle Solaris OS while the system is still running, if the system components support hot-plugging.If the system components do not support hot-plugging, new devices will be configured at boot time, after the new components are installed in the system.

For information about the procedures that are associated with dynamically configuring devices, see the following sections:

For information on hot-plugging USB devices with the cfgadm command, see Hot-Plugging USB Devices With the cfgadm Command.

For information on hot-plugging InfiniBand devices with cfgadm command, see Chapter 6, Using InfiniBand Devices (Overview/Tasks).

For information about accessing devices, see Accessing Devices.
