Interface Card OL* Support Guide

The processing time for the hardware scan is dependent on the number of devices connected to
the host system. If you have a large number of devices connected to your host system, hardware
scans can be time consuming, use them with care.
Reinstalling Device Files
You can reinstall special files for a particular device if the files are missing, corrupt, or out of
date.
NOTE: You must log in as root to reinstall device files.
Reinstalling device files executes in the background because it can take several minutes to run
the insf command, depending on the type of node selected (internal or leaf).
To reinstall files for a device follow these steps:
1. Select a device from the I/O Tree tab.
2. Click Reinstall Device Files.
NOTE: This menu selection is not active unless a device is selected.
A confirmation window displays to enable you to review the command to be executed and
decide whether to continue the action.

command and presents the results in an easy-to-read tabular format in a Web browser.
