Verifying the Installation | Sun Microsystems 805-1797-10 instruction

Verifying the Installation

After you have installed the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter, but before you boot your system, perform the following tasks to verify the installation. Refer to the Solaris 2.x Handbook for SMCC Peripherals manual or your Solaris documentation for the detailed instructions.

1.Power on the system, and when the banner appears, press the Stop-A keys to interrupt the boot process and to get to the ok prompt.

2.Use the show-devscommand to list the system devices.

You should see lines in the list of devices, similar to the example below, speciﬁc to the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter:

ok show-devs

...

/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@0,1

/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@1,1

/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@2,1

/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@3,1

...

The SUNW,qfe@x,1 entries identify the adapter's four Ethernet devices.

Note - If you do not see the devices listed, check that the adapter is properly seated and, if necessary, reinstall the adapter.

Diagnostic Testing

For Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter diagnostic testing, see Appendix D.”

Examining Network Activity

After you have installed the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter, but before booting the system, verify the installation by examining the network interfaces with the OpenBoot PROM watch-net-allcommand.

Make sure that the interfaces are connected to an active network.
