37 .LP
38 Disk drivers support a set of \fBioctl\fR(2) requests for disk controller,
39 geometry, and partition information. Basic to these \fBioctl()\fR requests are
40 the definitions in \fB<sys/dkio.h>\fR\&.
41 .SH IOCTLS
42 .LP
43 The following \fBioctl()\fR requests set and/or retrieve the current disk
44 controller, partitions, or geometry information on all architectures:

623 These capabilities are not required to be persistent across a system reboot and
624 their persistence depends upon the implementation. For example, if the ABR
625 capability for a DRL mirror simply clears the dirty-region list and
626 subsequently stops updating this list, there is no reason for persistence
627 because the VM recovery is a no-op. Conversely, if the ABR capability is
628 applied to a non-DRL mirror to indicate that the VM should not perform a full
629 recovery of the mirror following a system crash, the capability must be
630 persistent so that the VM know whether or not to perform recovery.

710 The calling sequence is as follows: The caller sets the \fIvdr_flags\fR to
711 \fBDK_DMR_NEXT_SIDE\fR and \fIvdr_side\fR to \fBDKV_SIDE_INIT\fR at the start.
712 Subsequent calls should be made without any changes to these values. If they
713 are changed the results of the ioctl are indeterminate.
714 .sp
715 When \fBDKV_SIDE_INIT\fR is set, the call results in the kernel reading from
716 the first side. The kernel updates \fIvdr_side\fR to indicate the side that was
717 read, and \fIvdr_side_name\fR to contain the name of that side. \fIvdr_data\fR
718 contains the data that was read. Therefore to perform a round-robin read all of
719 the valid sides, there is no need for the caller to change the contents of
720 \fIvdr_side\fR.
721 .sp
722 Subsequent ioctl calls result in reads from the next valid side until all valid
723 sides have been read. On success, the kernel sets \fBDKV_DMR_SUCCESS\fR. The

903 This ioctl is used to update the in-memory copy of the logical drive
904 information maintained by the driver. The ioctl takes no arguments. It causes a
905 re-read of the partition information and recreation of minor nodes if required.
906 Prior to updating the data structures, the ioctl ensures that the partitions do
907 not overlap. Device nodes are created only for valid partition entries. If
908 there is any change in the partition offset, size or ID from the previous read,
909 the partition is deemed to have been changed and hence the device nodes are
910 recreated. Any modification to any of the logical partitions results in the
911 recreation of all logical device nodes.

928 For x86 only: If the \fBDKIOCSMBOOT\fR command is used to modify the Solaris
929 partitions, the VTOC information should also be set appropriately to reflect
930 the changes to partition. Failure to do so leads to unexpected results when the
931 device is closed and reopened fresh at a later time. This is because a default
932 VTOC is assumed by driver when a Solaris partition is changed. The default VTOC
933 persists until the ioctl \fBDKIOCSVTOC\fR is called to modify VTOC or the
934 device is closed and reopened. At that point, the old valid VTOC is read from
935 the disk if it is still available.
