Adding a DU diskette to an existing Solaris system
Before adding new or updated drivers, the newly supported hardware devices should be installed and
configured according to the instructions in the corresponding Device Reference Page, if any. Refer to the
Solaris (Intel® Platform Edition) Device Configuration Guide.
When the Solaris (Intel® Platform Edition) software is already installed, the simplest way to add new or
updated drivers is to install the DU diskettes as patches on your system, as follows:
1. Become the superuser on your system.
2. Check to see if Volume Management is running on the system you are updating:
ps -ef | grep vold
For more information about managing diskette and drives, refer to the System Administration Guide.
