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.
