6 .TH DR 7D "Sep 29, 2003"
8 dr, drmach, ngdr, ngdrmach \- Sun Enterprise 10000 dynamic reconfiguration
34 The dynamic reconfiguration (DR) driver consists of a platform-independent
35 driver and a platform-specific module. The DR driver uses standard features of
36 the Solaris operating environment whenever possible to control DR operations
37 and calls the platform specific module as needed. The DR driver creates minor
38 nodes in the file system that serve as attachment points for DR operations.
41 The DR driver provides a pseudo-driver interface to sequence attach and detach
42 operations on system boards using file system entry points referred to as
43 "attachment points." The attachment point form depends on the platform.
44 .SS "Sun Enterprise 10000 Server"
47 On the Sun Enterprise 10000 server, the DR driver consists of a
48 platform-independent driver (\fBngdr\fR) and a platform-specific module
52 The domain configuration server (DCS) accepts DR requests from the system
53 services processor (SSP) and uses the \fBlibcfgadm\fR(3LIB) interface to
54 initiate the DR operation. After the operation is performed, the results are
55 returned to the SSP. For more information about the DCS on the Sun Enterprise
56 10000, refer to the \fBdcs\fR(8) man page and the \fISun Enterprise 10000
57 Dynamic Reconfiguration User Guide\fR.
60 The DR driver creates physical attachment points for system board slots that
61 takes the following form:
65 /devices/pseudo/ngdr@0:SB\fIx\fR
71 Where \fIx\fR represents the slot number (0 to 15) for a particular board.
74 The \fBcfgadm_sbd\fR(8) plugin creates dynamic attachment points that refer to
75 components on system boards, including CPUs, memory, or I/O devices. Refer to
76 the \fBcfgadm_sbd\fR(8) man page for more details.
