are the definitions in <sys/dkio.h>.
IOCTLS
! The following ioctl() requests set and/or retrieve the current disk
controller, partitions, or geometry information on all architectures:
DKIOCINFO
! The argument is a pointer to a dk_cinfo structure (described
! below). This structure tells the controller-type and attributes
! regarding bad-block processing done on the controller.

DKIOCSMBOOT
The argument is a pointer to struct mboot.
! Copies the mboot information supplied in the argument to the

! this ioctl() performs the following checks on the mboot data:
o Ensures that the signature field is set to 0xAA55.
o Ensures that partitions do not overlap.
! o On SPARC platforms, determines if the device is a
! removable media.
If the above verification fails, errno is set to EINVAL and the
! ioctl() command fails.
x86 Platforms -- Upon successful write of mboot, the partition map
structure maintained in the driver is updated. If the new Solaris
! partition is different from the previous one, the internal VTOC
! table maintained in the driver is set as follows:
If _SUNOS_VTOC_8 is defined:
! Partition: 0. Start: 0. Capacity = Capacity of device.
- Partition: 2. Start: 0. Capacity = Capacity of device.
-
If _SUNOS_VTOC_16 is defined:
! Partition: 2. Start: 0. Size = Size specified in mboot - 2
! cylinders.
- Partition: 8. Start: 0. Size = Sectors/cylinder.
-
- Partition: 9. Start: Sectors/cylinder. Size = 2 * sectors/cylinder
-
To determine if the Solaris partition has changed:
If either offset or the size of the Solaris partition is different
from the previous one then it shall be deemed to have changed. In
all other cases, the internal VTOC info remains as before.
SPARC Platforms -- The VTOC label and mboot both occupy the same
location, namely sector 0. As a result, following the successful
! write of mboot info, the internal VTOC table maintained in the
! driver is set as follows:
! Partition: 0. Start: 0. Size = Capacity of device.
! Partition: 2. Start: 0. Size = Capacity of device.
- See the NOTES section for usage of DKIOCSMBOOT when modifying
- Solaris partitions.

-
DKIOCGETVOLCAP
! This ioctl provides information and status of available
! capabilities.
!
vc_info is a bitmap and the valid flag values are:
! DKV_ABR_CAP - Capable of application-based recovery
! DKV_DMR_CAP - Ability to read specific copy of data when
! multiple copies exist. For example, in a two
! way mirror, this ioctl is used to read each
! side of the mirror.
vc_set is a bitmap and the valid flag values are:
! DKV_ABR_CAP - This flag is set if ABR has been set on a device
! that supports ABR functionality.
! DKV_DMR_CAP - Directed read has been enabled.
! These capabilities are not required to be persistent across a
! system reboot and their persistence depends upon the
! implementation. For example, if the ABR capability for a DRL mirror
! simply clears the dirty-region list and subsequently stops updating
! this list, there is no reason for persistence because the VM
! recovery is a no-op. Conversely, if the ABR capability is applied
! to a non-DRL mirror to indicate that the VM should not perform a
! full recovery of the mirror following a system crash, the
! capability must be persistent so that the VM know whether or not to
! perform recovery.
Return Errors:
! EINVAL
! Invalid device for this operation.
-
- ENOTSUP
- Functionality that is attempted to be set is not
- supported.
-
-
-
DKIOCSETVOLCAP
This ioctl sets the available capabilities for the device. If a
capability flag is not set in vc_set, that capability is cleared.
! vc_info flags are ignored
vc_set valid flags are:
! DKV_ABR_CAP - Flag to set application-based recovery. A device can
successfully support ABR only if it is capable.
! DKV_DMR_CAP - Flag to set directed read.
-
- int
- ioctl(int , DKIODMR, vol_directed_rd *);
-
-
-
DKIODMR
! This ioctl allows highly available applications to perform round-
! robin reads from the underlying devices of a replicated device.
! vdr_offset - offset at which the read should occur.
! vdr_nbytes - number of bytes to be read
! vdr_bytesread - number of bytes successfully read by the kernel.
! vdr_data - pointer to a user allocated buffer to return the
! data read
! vdr_side - side to be read. Initialized to DKV_SIDE_INIT
! vdr_side_name - The volume name that has been read.
Valid vdr_flags are:
- DKV_DMR_NEXT_SIDE (set by user)
- DKV_DMR_DONE (return value)
- DKV_DMR_ERROR (return value)
- DKV_DMR_SUCCESS(return value)
- DKV_DMR_SHORT(return value)
! The calling sequence is as follows: The caller sets the vdr_flags
! to DK_DMR_NEXT_SIDE and vdr_side to DKV_SIDE_INIT at the start.
! Subsequent calls should be made without any changes to these
! values. If they are changed the results of the ioctl are
! indeterminate.
! When DKV_SIDE_INIT is set, the call results in the kernel reading
! from the first side. The kernel updates vdr_side to indicate the
! side that was read, and vdr_side_name to contain the name of that
! side. vdr_data contains the data that was read. Therefore to
! perform a round-robin read all of the valid sides, there is no need
! for the caller to change the contents of vdr_side.
! Subsequent ioctl calls result in reads from the next valid side
until all valid sides have been read. On success, the kernel sets
DKV_DMR_SUCCESS. The following table shows the values of vdr_flags
that are returned when an error occurs:
! vdr_flags | vdr_side | Notes
! -------------|-------------------|----------------------------
! DKV_DMR_ERROR| DKV_SIDE_INIT | No valid side to read
! DKV_DMR_DONE | Not Init side | All valid sides read
! DKV_DMR_SHORT| Any value | Bytes requested cannot
! be read. vdr_bytesread
! set to bytes actually
! read.

! Partition: 8 Start: 0 Size = Sectors/cylinder.
! Partition: 9 Start: Sectors/cylinder Size = 2 * sectors/cylinder
To determine if the Solaris partition has changed:
If either offset or the size of the Solaris partition is different
from the previous one then it shall be deemed to have changed. In
all other cases, the internal VTOC info remains as before.
SPARC Platforms -- The VTOC label and mboot both occupy the same
location, namely sector 0. As a result, following the successful
! write of mboot info, the internal VTOC table maintained in the driver
! is set as follows:
! Partition: 0 Start: 0 Size = Capacity of device.
! Partition: 2 Start: 0 Size = Capacity of device.
! See the NOTES section for usage of DKIOCSMBOOT when modifying Solaris
! partitions.
DKIOCGETVOLCAP
! This ioctl provides information and status of available capabilities.
vc_info is a bitmap and the valid flag values are:
! DKV_ABR_CAP Capable of application-based recovery
! DKV_DMR_CAP Ability to read specific copy of data when multiple
! copies exist. For example, in a two way mirror, this
! ioctl is used to read each side of the mirror.
vc_set is a bitmap and the valid flag values are:
! DKV_ABR_CAP This flag is set if ABR has been set on a device that
! supports ABR functionality.
! DKV_DMR_CAP Directed read has been enabled.
! These capabilities are not required to be persistent across a system
! reboot and their persistence depends upon the implementation. For
! example, if the ABR capability for a DRL mirror simply clears the
! dirty-region list and subsequently stops updating this list, there is
! no reason for persistence because the VM recovery is a no-op.
! Conversely, if the ABR capability is applied to a non-DRL mirror to
! indicate that the VM should not perform a full recovery of the mirror
! following a system crash, the capability must be persistent so that
! the VM know whether or not to perform recovery.
Return Errors:
! EINVAL Invalid device for this operation.
! ENOTSUP Functionality that is attempted to be set is not supported.
DKIOCSETVOLCAP
This ioctl sets the available capabilities for the device. If a
capability flag is not set in vc_set, that capability is cleared.
! vc_info flags are ignored.
vc_set valid flags are:
! DKV_ABR_CAP Flag to set application-based recovery. A device can
successfully support ABR only if it is capable.
! DKV_DMR_CAP Flag to set directed read.
DKIODMR
! int ioctl(int, DKIODMR, vol_directed_rd *)
! This ioctl allows highly available applications to perform round-robin
! reads from the underlying devices of a replicated device.
+ vdr_offset Offset at which the read should occur.
+ vdr_nbytes Number of bytes to be read
+ vdr_bytesread Number of bytes successfully read by the kernel.
+ vdr_data Pointer to a user allocated buffer to return the data
+ read
+ vdr_side Side to be read. Initialized to DKV_SIDE_INIT
+ vdr_side_name The volume name that has been read.
+
Valid vdr_flags are:
! DKV_DMR_NEXT_SIDE Set by user
! DKV_DMR_DONE Return value
! DKV_DMR_ERROR Return value
! DKV_DMR_SUCCESS Return value
! DKV_DMR_SHORT Return value
! The calling sequence is as follows: The caller sets the vdr_flags to
! DK_DMR_NEXT_SIDE and vdr_side to DKV_SIDE_INIT at the start.
! Subsequent calls should be made without any changes to these values.
! If they are changed the results of the ioctl are indeterminate.
! When DKV_SIDE_INIT is set, the call results in the kernel reading from
! the first side. The kernel updates vdr_side to indicate the side that
! was read, and vdr_side_name to contain the name of that side.
! vdr_data contains the data that was read. Therefore to perform a
! round-robin read all of the valid sides, there is no need for the
! caller to change the contents of vdr_side.
!
! Subsequent ioctl(2) calls result in reads from the next valid side
until all valid sides have been read. On success, the kernel sets
DKV_DMR_SUCCESS. The following table shows the values of vdr_flags
that are returned when an error occurs:
! vda_flags vdr_side Notes
! DKV_DMR_ERROR DKV_SIDE_INIT No valid side to read
! DKV_DMR_DONE Not Init side All valid sides read
! DKV_DMR_SHORT Any value Bytes requested cannot be read
! vdr_bytesread set to bytes
! actually read

! than the addbadsec(1M) or format(1M) utilities. DKIOCADDBAD can
! only be used for software remapping on IDE drives; SCSI drives use
! hardware remapping of alternate sectors.
-

DKIOCSETEXTPART
! This ioctl is used to update the in-memory copy of the logical
! drive information maintained by the driver. The ioctl takes no
! arguments. It causes a re-read of the partition information and
! recreation of minor nodes if required. Prior to updating the data
! structures, the ioctl ensures that the partitions do not overlap.
! Device nodes are created only for valid partition entries. If there
! is any change in the partition offset, size or ID from the previous
! read, the partition is deemed to have been changed and hence the
! device nodes are recreated. Any modification to any of the logical
! partitions results in the recreation of all logical device nodes.

NOTES
! Blocksize information provided in DKIOCGMEDIAINFO is the size (in
! bytes) of the device's basic unit of operation and can differ from the
! blocksize that the Solaris operating environment exports to the user.
! Capacity information provided in the DKIOCGMEDIAINFO are for reference
! only and you are advised to use the values returned by DKIOCGGEOM or
! other appropriate ioctl for accessing data using the standard
! interfaces.
-
For x86 only: If the DKIOCSMBOOT command is used to modify the Solaris
partitions, the VTOC information should also be set appropriately to
reflect the changes to partition. Failure to do so leads to unexpected
results when the device is closed and reopened fresh at a later time.
This is because a default VTOC is assumed by driver when a Solaris
partition is changed. The default VTOC persists until the ioctl
! DKIOCSVTOC is called to modify VTOC or the device is closed and
! reopened. At that point, the old valid VTOC is read from the disk if it
! is still available.
