Thanks for all the replies. I now have added the disk drive
and I'm using it.
-----Original Question-----
I have searched the Solaris AnswerBook library, the sun-managers list
and the achive for the list, but can not find the answer to the following:
I have added a new disk drive to one of my SCSI chains, but can not reboot
the system at this time, maybe in a week or two. What I want to know, is
there a way to let the OS know about the added drive with out having to
shutdown the system and doing a boot -r. I have seen this done, but can
not remember the commands or command sequence to do this.
Thanks, and will summarize,
/mdb
----Answers-----
Most everyone told me the same thing:
prompt# /usr/sbin/drvconfig
prompt# /usr/sbin/devlinks
prompt# /usr/sbin/disks # or /usr/sbin/tapes for tapes
prompt# /usr/ucb/ucblinks # Compatibility links
References:
Look at the command "disks" in man pages.
