ioscan -C ...

[ViS_2]

Hi!
How can I find out which device classes HP-UX knows about? Not those that currently compiled in the kernel but all the ones that CAN BE compiled in it.
In another words, which device classes theoretically I can use in the phrase

ioscan -C

instead ?
Thanks.
Sorry for my english.

According to the manpage for ioscan:

class A device category, defined in the files located in
the directory /usr/conf/master.d and consistent
with the listings output by lsdev (see lsdev(1M)).
Examples are disk, printer, and tape.

Although the contents of this directory don't list "tape" explicitly, rather "stape" so I wonder if there are some aliases elsewhere?

Hi

Surely you only need the ones in the machine

ioscan -C class

Will do nothing if its not there

try

ioscan -F|cut -f9 -d":"|strings|sort -u|while read line
do
ioscan -C$line
done


For list from man

class A device category, defined in the files located in
the directory /usr/conf/master.d and consistent
with the listings output by lsdev (see lsdev(1M)).
Examples are disk, printer, and tape.

2Bharat Katkar.
Great!
But the question is: "Is there any reasonable method to find out that listing by finding and grepping through a filesystem for example?"
