• Explicit Device Driver Bindings
One or more driver to hardware path specifications is allowed. If a driver statement is provided, the
specified software module is forced into the kernel I/O system at the given hardware path. This can be
used to make the system recognize a device that could not be recognized automatically.
driver hw_path driver_name
Bind the driver into the kernel I/O system at the given hardware path. Arguments
are interpreted as follows:
hw_path The hardware path representing the device to bind the software with.
driver_name The name of the software module to bind into the kernel at the
specified hardware path.
• Kernel Tunable Parameter Settings
These lines contain the values (other than default) of kernel tunable parameters that will be used for
the kernel configuration. A tunable value can be either a number or a formula, but it cannot contain
whitespace. If the tunable is user defined, then parameter_name is preceded by the keyword
user:.
No whitespace is permitted between
user: and parameter_name. Each line has the following form:
[tunable][user:]parameter_name value
Modular System File
Modular system files have been removed from the HP-UX configuration paradigm. All the required infor-
mation from modular system files have been merged into the traditional system file itself thus creating a
single hpux system description file.
WARNINGS
The
swap, dump, and driver lines are obsolete and will be removed in a future version of HP-UX.
Swap devices, dump devices, and driver bindings should be configured using the swapon,
crashconf,
and
iobind commands, respectively.
FILES
/stand/system HP-UX system description file for the
nextboot kernel configuration
/stand/config /system HP-UX system description file for the kernel configuration named config
