Reinstall Device Files
It may be necessary or desirable to reinstall special files for a particular device if the files are missing,
corrupt, or out of date. This action is only available to root.
Reinstalling device files executes in the background as the possibility exists that it may take several minutes
to run the insf command depending on the type of node selected, internal or leaf.
To reinstall special device files for a device:
Step 1. Select a device from the I/O Tree tab.
Step 2. Click >> Reinstall Device Files....
NOTE This menu selection is not active for use unless a device is selected.
A confirmation window appears to allow you to review the command that is about to be executed
and decide if you wish to continue with the action.

Step 3. Click [Reinstall] to reinstall the device files for the selected device or [Cancel] to discontinue the
action.
The command, as previewed, is executed and you are returned to the I/O Tree tab.
