Hi,

This error occur after creating additional swap space device and remove it on A500 system.
sysdef - display system definition
# sysdef
ioctl: Function is not available

Anyone encounter this issue

TQ

Hi,
Is your /stand file system mounted ?

[Carsten Krege · Accepted solution]

Most likely scenario: The current version of the kernel doesn't match the current version of the symbol table symtab in /stand/dlkm. This can result if kmupdate is not run after building a new kernel. To fix your problem use the following procedure to build a new kernel and to activate it:

1. cd /stand/build
2. /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system
3. mk_kernel -s ./system
4. kmupdate
5. shutdown -r 0

Hi,

Been through this one, once before. In all
probability, a kernel change was done
manually without running the kmupdate command.
Here is the way out:
*****
Description: 11.0 sysdef: ioctl function is not available; use kmupdate
Document Id : A5220881
When I run the sysdef command, I get the error:
ioctl function is not available.
Why does this occur?

Solution
The current version of the kernel doesn't match the current version
of the symbol table symtab in /stand/dlkm. This can result if
kmupdate is not run after building a new kernel. To fix your problem
use the following procedure:
1. cd /stand/build
2. /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system
3. mk_kernel -s ./system
4. kmupdate /stand/build/vmunix_test
5. shutdown -r 0 (don't use reboot.)

Hi Rodi,
