NAME
       ddr_config - Compile and display the SCSI CAM I/O device database

SYNOPSIS
       /sbin/ddr_config [-option] [argument...]

OPTIONS
       Compiles	 the /etc/ddr.db binary database file from the input filename.
       If no input file is specified, the /etc/ddr.dbase file is used  as  the
       default.	 The  input  filename  must  use the syntax rules specified in
       ddr.dbase(4).  Displays the contents of the  /etc/ddr.db	 database  for
       the specified SCSI device. The display is to standard output.

	      The  type	 is  the  device type, one of the following strings or
	      integer values:

	      String:		 Integer:  -------	       --------	  disk
	      0	 tape		    1  printer		 2 processor	     3
	      worm		4  rodirect,  cdrom    5  scanner	     6
	      optical		7 changer	    8 comm		9

	      The vendor_id is the string that defines the vendor's id for the
	      device. Be sure to exactly quote the vendor's id in the  string,
	      including the correct number of space characters, if needed.

	      The  product_id  and  revision are optional strings for the ven‐
	      dor's name for the product and its revision (or version) number.
	      If  used,	 be  sure to exactly quote them, including the correct
	      number of space characters.  Displays the database contents  for
	      a	 global_section.   Enter  one  of the following global section
	      names (only the first three characters are checked by  the  com‐
	      piler):

	      partitions
	      densities
	      Displays	 the   ddr_config  help	 information.	Processes  the
	      /sys/data/cam_data.c file, and writes to standard	 output.   The
	      output  is  a  summary  of  additions and modifications that you
	      should make to the /etc/ddr.dbase file in order  to  synchronize
	      it with the /sys/data/cam_data.c file.

	      The MACHINE parameter must be specified, and it must be the name
	      of your machine's system configuration file, the file  you  used
	      to  build	 your current system. The MACHINE system configuration
	      file supplies  the  machine-specific  information	 that  the  -x
	      option uses to produce the output summary. Use this option as an
	      aid to propagating customized SCSI device information  into  the
	      dynamic device recognition database.

DESCRIPTION
       Dynamic	Device	Recognition  (DDR)  is	a framework for describing the
       operating parameters and characteristics of SCSI devices	 to  the  SCSI
       CAM  I/O	 subsystem.   You  use a utility, /sbin/ddr_config, and a text
       database, /etc/ddr.dbase,  to  make  changes  to	 the  subsystem	 after
       installation and without rebooting.

       This  dynamic device recognition capability replaces the static methods
       of device recognition that have been employed by using the  compiled-in
       device table, /sys/data/cam_data.c.

					Note

       SCSI  devices  in  the /sys/data/cam_data.c file are supported for this
       release of the operating system, but support will  be  withdrawn	 in  a
       future release.

       Use  the /sbin/ddr_config utility to compile new versions of the device
       definition binary database.  If you use the utility to compile  custom‐
       ized  databases,	 be  sure  to  follow  the  syntax  rules specified in
       ddr.dbase(4).

       The /etc/ddr.dbase text database file is	 initially  populated  on  the
       software distribution, and is used when the system is booted at instal‐
       lation.	After the initial installation, you determine when  this  text
       database	 needs	to be changed.	Then, you edit the /etc/ddr.dbase file
       to make the changes and then use the /sbin/ddr_config utility  to  com‐
       pile the changes.

       The  /sbin/ddr_config  utility  places  the  output  in the /etc/ddr.db
       binary database file and notifies the kernel that the  device  database
       has  been  modified.  The kernel then synchronizes its in-memory device
       tables with the definitions in the /etc/ddr.db binary database file.

ERRORS
       The compiler returns syntax errors to the standard  output  device.  An
       output file is not produced if there are syntax errors.

EXAMPLES
       The  following two examples show how the command can be used to display
       the partition table defaults and the tape density table from the global
       section of the /etc/dbase file.	# ddr_config -g par

       Recommended Partition Table Defaults:
	 Partition_A_Size   :	  64 MBytes
	 Partition_B_Size   :	 128 MBytes
	 Partition_G_Size   :	 400 MBytes
	 Min_Partition_Size :	  50 MBytes

       # ddr_config -g den
