Installing the Adapter With Dynamic Reconfiguration

If you have a Sun Enterprise system that supports dynamic reconfiguration (DR), you do not have to reboot your system after installing the adapter.

The process of adding and configuring an adapter with DR involves (1) connecting the attachment point and (2) configuring its occupant. In most cases, the cfgadm(1M) command can perform both steps at once.

▼To Install an Adapter in a Dynamic Reconfiguration System

1.Verify that the selected board slot is ready for the adapter.

#cfgadm

The states and conditions should be:

Receptacle state—Empty

Occupant state—Unconfigured

Condition—Unknown

Or:

Receptacle state—Disconnected

Occupant state—Unconfigured

Condition—Unknown
