This command is for use on Alpha and Integrity servers only. It
rebuilds device configuration tables in preparation for using the
SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE command to reconfigure the system.
Format
IO REBUILD
1 – Qualifier
1.1 /VERIFY
Causes SYSMAN to read and process the files SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$USER_
CONFIG.DAT and SYS$SYSTEM:CONFIG.DAT, but not to apply the files
to the I/O database. Messages will be displayed for any errors
that are encountered. This command can be used by developers
to test new changes to SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$USER_CONFIG.DAT without
modifying the current system.
2 – Description
The SYSMAN IO REBUILD command rebuilds the system's
device configuration tables by reading and parsing the
SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$USER_CONFIG.DAT and SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$CONFIG.DAT
files.
To debug modifications to the SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$USER_CONFIG.DAT
file, you can use the SYSMAN IO REBUILD and SYSMAN IO
AUTOCONFIGURE commands to load drivers without having to reboot.
Once you load a driver for an adapter, however, you cannot reload
it without rebooting the system.
3 – Example
SYSMAN> IO REBUILD
SYSMAN> IO AUTOCONFIGURE
The first command in this example rebuilds device configuration
tables. The second command reads the device configuration
tables and loads drivers for newly defined drivers.
