All modules within 11.31 SCSI cumulative I/O patch (PHKL_36322) are not DLKM (Dynamically Loadable Kernel Module) feature compliant. This patch also includes static modules. Therefore, any updates (made using either swinstall or swremove commands) to Ultra160 SCSI driver in HP-UX 11i v3 September 2007 will cause a system reboot. This behavior remains the same as in prior releases.
Manpages: scsictl(1M) Documentation for the Ultra160 SCSI driver is available at http://docs.hp.com/en/netcom.html#SCSI%20Host%20Bus%20Adapters The drivers in the following subsections are optional, meaning they are not automatically installed, but can be selected during installation.
