how can i determine if a device driver is running?

[Clay Porter]

on Solaris, the modinfo command can be used to tell if a device driver is actually being used by the OS at runtime. on Windows, i can use WBEM. is there any way to determine this on HP?

kmsystem looked promising, but it shows the same info on a machine without the card (a FibreChannel HBA) installed as one with the card installed.

Hi,
This may be too simple, but wouldn't an
#ioscan -fn
give you that information ?

Regards,
Tom

You can use 'ioscan -fun'.

Well the best way to query the kernel would be

what /stand/vmunix|grep -i "whatever"

[Ian Dennison_1]

To find out if the Driver is in the kernel,

'SAM' - 'Kernel Configuration' - 'Drivers'.

To find out if the driver is being used,...

ioscan -fun |grep [Driver]

Share and Enjoy! Ian
