Hi there AIX gurus,
does anybody know how to issue a "reconfigurational reboot" command?

I just want to have the system to see new devices attached.
The same command under Solaris is boot -r but here does not work!!
Please help.
Thanks
Giuliano

1) Search this group for a AIX for SUN adaminstrator handbook
2) use " cfgmgr "
If the device is not available - cfgmgr will tell if its misses a
device driver - then add the device driver and run the command again.

BTW: Is there a command to get the serial number ( Not the WWN ) of a
SUN FC HBA. ?

command lsattr can show the wwn for you.

lsattr -El dac1|grep node_name|awk '{print $1," ",$2}'
node_name 0x200200a0b80f5c88

"200200a0b80f5c88" is what you are looking for.

regards,

Frank

Thanks Hajo for your reply.
Sorry but I do not know what are you asking for.

Don't know if I understand completely what you want to achieve,
but it is probably easier than you think, use:

smitty - Devices - Configure Devices Added after IPL

If the appropriate drivers existm the devices in question
will be added to the system - no reboot required.
