rem_drv(1M)

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     driver  device_driver  is  no  longer  valid.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
