Refreshing H/w Devices

[susee_sundar]

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,

The command

# ioscan -fn

should refreshed the H/W devices

Hi Susee,

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

ioscan -fn for rescan

dont use option -k because it not rescan your hardware

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

Ok ...I will try this

#ioscan -fn

But tell me what is the use of

#insf command

Whether is it used for HW Scaning HW devices...

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.
