Errors
/etc/ioconfig is missing.
/etc/ioconfig is corrupted.
/etc/ext_ioconfig is missing.
/etc/ext_ioconfig is corrupted.
Either restore /etc/ioconfig
or /etc/ext_ioconfig
accordingly from backup and then
reboot, or recreate
/etc/ioconfig
or /etc/ext_ioconfig
using ioinit -c.
Permission to access /etc/ext_ioconfig is denied.
Change permissions to /etc/ext_ioconfig
to allow access by ioinit
.
exec of insf failed.
ioinit completed successfully, but
insf failed.
Instance number is already in kernel.
Instance number already exists for a given class. Use
rmsf to remove the existing instance
number, then retry.
Hardware path is not in the kernel.
The given hardware path is not in the kernel. Use ioscan -k to get the correct hardware path,
then retry.
Device class name is not in the kernel.
The given class name is not in the kernel. Use ioscan -k to get the correct class name, then
retry.
EXAMPLES
To reassign an instance number to a device and class (specified in infile) and reboot the system:
/sbin/ioinit -f infile -r
where infile contains the following:
56.52 scsi 2
64000/0xfa00/0x7 disk 20
56.52 is the h/w_path, scsi is the class_name , and
2 is the instance_# .
64000/0xfa00/0x7 is the h/w_path,
disk is the class_name , and 20 is the instance_# .
To achieve circular reassignment of instance numbers between two existing devices of a class (specified in
infile), assuming the driver associated with the given hardware paths support online reassignment of
instance numbers.
/sbin/ioinit -f infile
where infile contains the following:
64000/0xfa00/0x7 disk 20
64000/0xfa00/0xa disk 30
64000/0xfa00/0x7 is the h/w_path, disk is the class_name , and 20
is the instance_# . The existing
instance_# of this device is 30.
64000/0xfa00/0xa is the h/w_path, disk is the class_name , and 30
is the instance_# . The existing
instance_# of this device is 20. After the successful completion of this operation,
64000/0xfa00/0x7
will have the new instance_# as 20 and 64000/0xfa00/0xa will have the new instance_# as 30.
Verify
my_ioconfig file for corruptions and find if it is of type legacy or agile.
/sbin/ioinit -v /etc/back/my_ioconfig
WARNINGS
Running rmsf, ioscan,orinsf overwrites the effect of instance number reassignment by ioinit
before the system is rebooted. The previous statement applies only for devices whose drivers do not sup-
port online instance number reassignment.
