Hello.

What exactly are you trying to do ?.

what OS do you have ?
What server ?

are there any error messages in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

insf -e will add any device files for new hardware. If the hardware does not have a driver, it does nothing. Run ioscan to see if there are any UNCLAIMED devices. You must install the driver and rebuild the kernel before the device can be seen.

As mentioned it would help if you posted the output of the full ioscan here i.e.

# ioscan

try
ioscan -fnC class
insf -eC class

if that does not help try full path for the commands /usr/sbin/ioscan and /usr/sbin/insf

HI,

Confirm me wether you had uninstalled any patches or trying to install a patch and it has not completed successfully if any thing are there download the quaterly patch bundle and install or take a reboot of the server or check the syslog for more information.
