INSF -

Our vendor finally came to the conclusion of INSF as well. They(we) had been building the kernel modifying the /stand/build/system file.

Apparently something different occurs when you use SAM to build the kernel file?

d /stand/build

/usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system

vi system (perform required changes)

/usr/sbin/mk_kernel -s /stand/build/system

mv /stand/system /stand/system.prev

mv /stand/vmunix /stand/vmunix.prev

mv system ..

/usr/sbin/kmupdate

reboot

Yes SAM also check if parms are outside supported limits.

When new hardware is added to a server, ie fibrechannel device, an ioscan -f will detect the new hardware but not install any special files.

to install special files:
insf -eCdisk
for all disk device files
insf -eCtape
for all elements in tape class

look at ioscan -fnk output for the class.

insf -eH 8/12
for device files for everything on hardware path 8/12

Eran is right, a reboot should do the trick too!
