Refreshing H/w Devices

susee_sundar — Fri, 07 Jul 2006 03:34:58 GMT

How can we rescan the H/w Deives which are not sensed while booting...

-->IOscan is not providing the result..

In solaris I used :#devfsadm

which will rescan all the HW..

Any command in Hp -UNIX

Hi Susee,

"ioscan" is the tool for you. Check the man page for more options.

Hi,
What kind of HW are you talking about?
All known devices by the OS will be seen at reboot...
Have you added knew unknown WH (drivers not in the kernel, or firmware upgrade needed etc...)?

All the best
Victor

Hi Susee,

"insf" is used to install special (device) files when the file is corrupted for some reason.If no options are specified, special files are created for all new devices in the system.

Check # man insf for more details.
