dkprobe(1)

NAME
     dkprobe - probe all configured disks

SYNOPSIS
     $PCP_BINADM_DIR/dkprobe [-V]

DESCRIPTION
     dkprobe uses getinvent(3) to establish the list of disk devices in the
     system, then attempts to open the volume header of each.

     On systems that do not use the Hardware Graph Filesystem (see
     hwgraph(4)), i.e. versions of IRIX prior to IRIX6.4, dkprobe is called
     from $PCP_RC_DIR/pcp when pmcd(1) is started to ensure that the IRIX disk
     statistics are initialized.  There should be no constructive reason for
     running dkprobe otherwise.

     The -V flag turns on verbose mode; the name of each disk volume is
     printed as it is probed, and an error message is produced if the probe
     fails for any reason.

FILES
     /dev/rdsk/*vh
               the volume headers

PCP ENVIRONMENT
     Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the
     file and directory names used by PCP.  On each installation, the file
     /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables.  The
     $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration
     file, as described in pcp.conf(4).
