rem_drv(1M) rem_drv(1M)
NAME
rem_drv - remove a device driver from the system
SYNOPSIS
rem_drv [-b basedir] device_driver
The rem_drv command informs the system that the device driver device_driver is no longer valid.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. 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)).
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.
Note - The root file system of any non-global zones must not be referenced with the -b option. Doing so might damage the
global zone's file system, might compromise the security of the global zone, and might damage the non-global zone's
file system. See zones(5).
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 following 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
Note the caveat on the use of the -b option in the description of that option, above.
