NAME

 rem_drv - remove a device driver from the system

SYNOPSIS

 rem_drv [-b basedir] device_driver

DESCRIPTION

 

The rem_drv command informs the system that the device driver device_driver is no longer valid. If possible, rem_drv unloads device_driver from memory. Entries for the device in the /devices namespace are removed. rem_drv also updates the system driver configuration files.

If rem_drv has been executed, the next time the system is rebooted it automatically performs a reconfiguration boot (see kernel(1M)).

OPTIONS

 

The following options are supported:

-b basedir
Sets the path to the root directory of the diskless client. Used on the server to execute rem_drv for a client. The client machine must be rebooted to unload the driver.

EXAMPLES

 Example 1. Removing the sd Driver
 

The following example removes the sd driver from use:

 
example% rem_drv sd
Example 2. Removing a Diskless Client
 

The next example removes the driver from the sun1 diskless client. The driver is not uninstalled or unloaded until the client machine is rebooted.

 
example% rem_drv -b /export/root/sun1 sd
