Changed Information
The chapter on using the setld utility to install and manage software has
been moved from this manual to the Installation Guide.
The information about adding third party SCSI devices has been replaced
with Dynamic Device Recognition (DDR), which performs the same
functions. DDR is described in Chapter 6.
The chapter on AdvFS has been removed. Refer to the reference pages and
to the AdvFS Administration guide.
The Logical Volume Manager (LVM) appendix has been removed from the
manual because the LVM functionality has been retired from the operating
system. Most support for the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) was retired in
a previous release of the operating system. Volume management functions
are now provided by the Logical Storage Manager (LSM) as described in
Chapter 8 and the Logical Storage Manager guide. All LVM functionality
has been disabled with the exception of the support necessary to
encapsulate LVM volumes under LSM.
_____________________ Warning _____________________
In a future release of the operating system, remaining support
for LVM encapsulation will be dropped and any data remaining
under control of LVM software will be lost.
A new appendix has been created for the information on system exercisers.
