dlm - Administer Dynamically Loadable Modules
dlm [ list | load objectfile | unload objectfile ]
The dlm command administers dynamically loadable modules
(DLMs). A DLM is an independent section of Data ONTAP
code (an object file) implementing a particular optional
or configuration-dependent functional component - such as
the ATM communications driver.
- list
- Lists the names of currently loaded modules and
their base addresses. The Data ONTAP kernel
itself treated as a module and this is always
listed first. For example:
kernel at 0x0xfffffc0000200000
/etc/modules/atm.mod at 0x0x00000004444900b8
- load
- Instructs the system to load a module identified
by the name objectfile. See below for the form
of this name.
- unload
- Requests the system to unload the module object_file.
This may fail if the module is in use.
Note: in normal use, there should never be a need to use
the load or unload options since modules are loaded automatically
when required.
Modules are object files which reside in the root filesystem
in the /etc/modules directory. The full objectfile
name of a module is of the form /etc/modules/foo.mod
