Dynamic Reconfiguration User's Guide 2.5.1

1.3.3 Connection Script Interface

Although the user can use DR while the operating system is still running, this procedure is not transparent to the user processes. For example, a CPU bound process will lose the CPU resource and I/O devices become unavailable after a system board is detached. It is necessary that system applications should be informed of the DR operations so that the proper actions can be taken. The connection script interface provides such functionality.

The user can place the application-specific scripts in the connection script directories. These scripts will be called at different stages of the DR operation depending on their locations. Section 3.4 "Connection Script Interface" describe the details of the connection script interface.
