HP-UX 11i v3 Persistent DSF Migration Guide

hwpath keywords can be either from the legacy or agile view.

o ioscan -P keyword [-H hw_path]: This option displays the

properties of system hardware. The -P option takes one of the

keywords (such as health, instance, and so on); for a complete

list, see the -P option in ioscan(1M).

The hw_path parameter is from the agile view and the display uses

the agile view as well.

o ioscan -r -H hw_path: The -r option removes a deferred driver

binding. Input parameter must be in the agile view.

For more information, see ioscan(1M).
