Devices -f Forces creation of device files -D Override the default device installation directory and install special file in directory With insf, device files can be made for all devices on your system. In addition, device files can be made for just one particular device type (driver name) or just an individual device within a device type. You cannot specify special options with insf. If you have some device that requires special options, you need to use mksf after running insf. Examples To install all device files needed for the devices on your system, type # insf. To add an additional disk with the card instance number 2, issue the following command: # insf-evd disc1 -I 2 insf: Installing special files for disc1 instance 0 address 48.2 making dsk/c0t2d0 making rdsk/c020t0 making diag/dsk/c020t0 making diag/rdsk/c020t0 making ct/c020t0 making ct/c0t2d0 making ct/c0t2d1 making rct/c020t0 making rct/c0t2d1 making diag/rct/c0t2d0 making diag/rct/c0t2d1 To extend your system by adding a second multiplexer interface board at card instance 1, issue the following command: # insf -d mux0 -I 1 insf: Installing special files for mux0 instance 1 address 44 making diag/mux1 making tty1p0 tty1p1 tty1p2 tty1p3 tty1p4 tty1p5 making diag/ tty1p- tty1p1 tty1p2 tty1p3 tty1p4 tty1p5 To create device files for all devices of the tty class: # insf -C tty To create device files for the device at address 4.2.0: # insf -H 4.2.0 mksf v. insf The mksf command creates only one device file for a device. Use mksf to create a single device file that does not use standard naming conventions and to create device files that insf could not create. The insf command automatically creates default device files for all new devices and also assigns card instance numbers at boot time. Use insf to create multiple device files at one time using standard naming conventions. 20

-f
Forces creation of device files
-D
Override the default device installation directory and install special file in
directory
With
insf
, device files can be made for all devices on your system. In addition, device files can be made for
just one particular device type (driver name) or just an individual device within a device type. You cannot
specify special options with
insf
. If you have some device that requires special options, you need to use
mksf
after running
insf
.
Examples
To install all device files needed for the devices on your system, type
# insf
.
To add an additional disk with the card instance number
2
, issue the following command:
# insf-evd disc1 -I 2
insf: Installing special files for disc1 instance 0 address 48.2

To extend your system by adding a second multiplexer interface board at card instance

, issue the
following command:
# insf -d mux0 -I 1
insf: Installing special files for mux0 instance 1 address 44
making diag/mux1
making tty1p0 tty1p1 tty1p2 tty1p3 tty1p4 tty1p5
making diag/ tty1p- tty1p1 tty1p2 tty1p3 tty1p4 tty1p5
To create device files for all devices of the
tty
class:
# insf -C tty
To create device files for the device at address
4.2.0
:
# insf -H 4.2.0
mksf v. insf
The
mksf
command creates only one device file for a device. Use
mksf
to create a single device file that
does not use standard naming conventions and to create device files that
insf
could not create.
The
insf
command automatically creates default device files for all new devices and also assigns card
instance numbers at boot time. Use
insf
to create multiple device files at one time using standard naming
conventions.
