The scdidadm utility administers the device identifier (DID) pseudo device driver did(7).

The scdidadm utility performs the following primary operations:

• Creates driver configuration files
• Modifies entries in the file
• Loads the current configuration into the kernel
• Lists the mapping between device entries and did driver instance numbers

The startup script /etc/init.d/bootcluster uses the scdidadm utility to initialize the did driver. You can also use scdidadm to update or query the current device mapping between the devices present and the corresponding device identifiers and did driver instance numbers.

The devfsadm(1m) command creates the file system device entry points.

The following options are supported:

-c

Performs a consistency check against the kernel representation of the devices and the physical devices. On failing a consistency check, an error message is displayed. The process continues until all devices have been checked.

You need solaris.cluster.device.read RBAC authorization to use this command option. See rbac(5).

-C

Removes all did references to underlying devices that have been detached from the current node. Specify this option after the Solaris device commands have been used to remove references to nonexistent devices on the cluster nodes.

You can only use this option from a node that is booted in cluster mode.

You need solaris.cluster.device.modify RBAC authorization to use this command option. See rbac(5).

-h

Prints a header when listing device mappings. This option is meaningful only when used with the -l and -L options.

-i

Initializes the did driver. Use this option if you want to enable I/O requests to the did driver.

You need solaris.cluster.device.modify RBAC authorization to use this command option. See rbac(5).

-l

Lists the local devices in the DID configuration file. The output of this command can be customized using the -o option. When no -o options are specified, the default listing displays the instance number, the local fullpath, and the fullname.

You need solaris.cluster.device.read RBAC authorization to use this command option. See rbac(5).

-L

Lists all the paths, including those on remote hosts, of the devices in the DID configuration file. The output of this command can be customized using the -o option. When no -o options are specified, the default listing displays the instance number, all local and remote fullpath strings, and the fullname.

You need solaris.cluster.device.read RBAC authorization to use this command option. See rbac(5).

-o fmt

Lists the devices currently known to the did driver according to the format specification fmt. Multiple -o options can be specified. The fmt specification is interpreted as a comma-separated list of format option arguments. This option is meaningful only when used with the -l and -L options. The available format option arguments are the following:

instance

Prints the instance number of the device known by the did driver, for example, 1.

path

Prints the physical path name of the device associated with this device identifier, for example, /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0.

fullpath

Prints the full physical path name of the device that is associated with this device identifier. This path name includes the host, for example, phys-hostA:/dev/rdsk/c0t3d0.

host

With the -L option, prints the names of all hosts that have connectivity to the specified device, one per line. With the -l option, prints the name of the local host that has connectivity to the specified device.

name

Prints the DID name of the device associated with this device identifier, for example, d1.

fullname

Prints the full DID path name of the device associated with this device identifier, for example, /dev/did/rdsk/d1.

diskid

Prints the hexadecimal representation of the device identifier associated with the instance of the device being listed.

asciidiskid

Prints the ASCII representation of the device identifier associated with the instance of the device being listed.

-r

Reconfigures the database. When you specify this option, a thorough search of the rdsk and rmt device trees is conducted. A new instance number is assigned for all device identifiers that were not recognized before. A new path is added for each newly recognized device.

You can only use this option from a node that is booted in cluster mode.

You need solaris.cluster.device.modify RBAC authorization to use this command option. See rbac(5).

-R {path | instance_number | all}

Performs a repair procedure on a particular device instance. The argument to this command can be either a particular physical device path that has been replaced with a new device, or the instance_number of the device that was just replaced. When used with the all keyword, the scdidadm utility updates the configuration data of all devices connected to the node.

You can only use this option from a node that is booted in cluster mode.

You need solaris.cluster.device.modify RBAC authorization to use this command option. See rbac(5).

-u

Loads the device identifier configuration table into the kernel. This option loads all the currently known configuration information about device paths and their corresponding instance numbers into the kernel.

You need solaris.cluster.device.modify RBAC authorization to use this command option. See rbac(5).

-U

Converts an existing /etc/did.conf file into a set of Cluster Configuration Repository (CCR) tables. If the tables already exist, this command fails.

You need solaris.cluster.device.modify RBAC authorization to use this command option. See rbac(5).

-v

Prints the version number of this program.

The following exit values are returned:

0

The command completed successfully.

1

An error occurred.
