Configures devices in the Virtual I/O Server.
cfgdev [ -dev Name ]
The cfgdev command configures devices. If there are any devices detected that have no device software installed when configuring devices, the cfgdev command returns a warning message with the name or a list of possible names for the device package that must be installed. If the specific name of the device package is determined, it is displayed as the only package name, on a line below the warning message. If the specific name cannot be determined, a colon-separated list of possible package names is displayed on a single line. A package name or list of possible package names is displayed for each of the devices, if more than one device is detected without its device software.
The system displays the following warning message when devices without their device software are detected:
cfgdev: 0514-621 WARNING: The following device packages are
required for device support but are not currently
installed.
devices.pci.22100020
devices.pci.14101800
devices.pci.scsi:devices.pci.00100300:devices.pci.NCR.53C825
In this example, two devices were found that had missing software, and the cfgdev command displayed the names of the device packages that must be installed. A third device that also has missing software was found, but in this case, the cfgdev command displays several possible device package names.
| -dev Name | Specifies the named device to configure along with its children. |
