Dynamically Configuring Devices (Tasks)

This chapter provides instructions for dynamically configuring devices in the Solaris OS. You can add, remove, or replace devices in the Solaris OS while the system is still running, if the system components support hot-plugging. If the system components do not support hot-plugging, you can reboot the system to reconfigure the devices.

For information on the procedures associated with dynamically configuring devices, see the following:

• SCSI Hot-Plugging With the cfgadm Command (Task Map)

• PCI or PCIe Hot-Plugging With the cfgadm Command (Task Map)

• Application Developer RCM Script (Task Map)

• System Administrator RCM Script (Task Map)

For information on hot-plugging USB devices with the cfgadm command, see Hot-Plugging USB Devices With the cfgadm Command.

For information about accessing devices, see Accessing Devices.
