NAME
     dr_daemon - Enterprise 10000 Dynamic Reconfiguration daemon

SYNOPSIS
     dr_daemon [ -a ]

DESCRIPTION
     The dr_daemon is a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) program  that
     provides  the  interface to the Sun Enterprise 10000 Dynamic
     Reconfiguration (DR) driver, dr(7D).

     There are several applications that run on the SSP that pro-
     vide a user interface to DR: hostview, the dr shell, and ADR
     commands (addboard, deleteboard, moveboard, and  showusage).
     See dr(7D). See hostview(1M) in the Sun Enterprise 10000 SSP
     3.5 Reference Manual and dr(1M) in the Sun Enterprise  10000
     Dynamic Reconfiguration Reference Manual.

     This daemon runs only on domains that are running DR version
     2.0.  To  check  the DR version that is running on a domain,
     use the domain_status -m command on the System Service  Pro-
     cessor (SSP) 3.5.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -a    Disable communications with the Alternate Pathing (AP)
           daemon. See ap_daemon(1M) in the Sun Enterprise Server
           Alternate Pathing Reference Manual.

CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
      The /platform/SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise-10000/lib/dr_daemon RPC
     program  name  is  DRPROG, its RPC program number is 300326,
     and its underlying protocol is TCP. It  is   invoked  as  an
     inetd  server  using the TCP transport. The UID required for
     access to the daemon is ssp. This UID  can  be  a  non-login
     UID.  The  entry  for the daemon in the /etc/inetd.conf file
     is:

     300326/4 tli rpc/tcp wait root \
          /platform/SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise-10000/lib/dr_daemon
      The daemon's only clients are  Hostview  and  DR.  Hostview
     provides a GUI interface; dr(1M) is a command-line interface
     for non-windowing environments.  The  DR  daemon  uses  syslog(3)
      to report status and error messages. These error mes-
     sages are  logged  with  the  LOG_DAEMON  facility  and  the
     LOG_ERR and LOG_NOTICE priorities. dr_daemon communicates by
     way of RPC with the Alternate Pathing (AP) daemon to  notify
     the  AP  software  when  controllers  are  attached  to  and
     detached from the system, or to gather information about the
     system  configuration.  See  ap_daemon(1M) in the Sun Enter-
     prise Server Alternate Pathing Reference Manual
