NAME

mvme328 − add /dev entries for SCSI devices in the Equipped Device Table (EDT)

SYNOPSIS

/sbin/auto-device/mvme328

DESCRIPTION

mvme328 performs the following steps:

1.  The EDT is searched to see if any mvme328 SCSI host adapters are equipped.  If none are found, the program deletes any existing related device nodes and exits. 

2.  Any existing device nodes for controllers that are not present are deleted. 

3.  The Extended EDT information for each controller present is examined to determine the peripheral complement attached to each controller.  All non-present devices with existing device nodes have their device nodes deleted. 

4.  The existing device nodes are compared against the Extended EDT information and device nodes are created for all devices that do not have device nodes.  Devices that may have changed type (for example, tape to disk) will have their device nodes deleted and recreated. 

mvme328 is called each time the system is re-configured.  It must also be called after sysadm rmdisk is executed, to restore the /dev entries so a disk can be resliced.
