We've already talked abou the DCU and what it looks like.

resmgr allows you to updated /stand/resmgr, view the contents of both /stand/resmgr and the current active resources. So its powerful and dangerous. Not a user tool, but if you phone support, they may ask you to use it. You may be able to use it for changing one SCSI controller for another - but this won't always work because different SCSI controllers will use different sector mappings (this is independant of UnixWare).

idconfupdate is used to sync up the resmgr configuration with the sdevice.d files. You will need to run this if you edit the resmgr outside of DCU.

idresadd is usually only called by idinstall to add a new entry into the resource.

Other id tools have been updated to allow drivers to be installed without any knowlege of this new system. For example, idinstall will update the sdevide.d files as well as the resmgr.
