Operating Systems AIX Uninstall native MPIO driver on AIX Post 302415234 by zxmaus on Thursday 22nd of April 2010 04:24:45 AM

Why do you want to deinstall it at all - if it is because you want to use something like powerpath or EMC MPIO instead, you don't have to deinstall the native MPIO - you only need to drop disks, adapters and so on , than install the powerpath software and reboot the system - when it comes up, it will use powerpath instead of MPIO.

Hope this helps

NAME
genfb -- generic framebuffer console driver SYNOPSIS
genfb* at pci? genfb* at sbus? wsdisplay* at genfb? DESCRIPTION
The genfb driver provides support for generic framebuffers that have no native driver. All it needs are some parameters to describe the framebuffer and an address. PCI When attaching to a pci(4) bus the driver is configured via device properties: width (uint32) Width in pixels. height (uint32) Height in pixels. stride (uint32) Line size in bytes. depth (uint32) Bits per pixel. is_console (bool) If true, genfb will try to become the system console. address (uint32) Bus address of the framebuffer. SBus When attaching to sbus(4) all those parameters are retrieved from the firmware. SEE ALSO
pci(4), sbus(4), wscons(4), wsdisplay(4) BUGS
There is no way to change the color map even when the firmware supports it. The pci(4) bus frontend has only been tested on macppc, i386, and amd64 and requires machine dependent code to pass the properties mentioned above. So far only macppc, i386, and amd64 provides them. BSD
