[SunHELP] Attach CD-ROM without reboot ?

[Richard Skelton]

Hi Steffen,
Take a look at:-
ftp://ftp.wins.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2.html#q3.16
If you're just adding a SCSI disk, you don't need to reboot. Run the following 
script (as root): 

#!/bin/sh
#
# add-disk
#
#       Runs the commands to make Solaris locate a new disk that
#       has been plugged in after the system was booted.
#

/usr/sbin/drvconfig
/usr/sbin/devlinks
/usr/sbin/disks                 # or /usr/sbin/tapes for tapes
/usr/ucb/ucblinks               # Compatibility links

exit 0

Note that this only works if you already have at least one SCSI disk on the 
system. (This is because the above
just makes symbolic links and things, it does not load up the SCSI driver kernel 
modules, etc.)
