To Discover Fabric Devices Visible on a Host

Fibre channel host ports c0 and c1, and the devices attached to them, provide an example of discovering Fabric devices. This procedure also shows the device configuration information that can be displayed with the cfgadm(1M) command.

Note If the proper cfgadm support for fibre channel devices is not installed, fibre channel devices do not display in the cfgadm(1M) command output. In the next examples, only fp attachment point IDs (Ap_Ids) are listed. The attachment points displayed on your system depend on your system configuration.

1.Become superuser.

2.Display information about the attachment points on the system.

In this example, c0 represents a Fabric-connected host port, and c1 represents a private, loop-connected host port. Use the cfgadm(1M) command to manage the device configuration on Fabric-connected host ports.

By default, the device configuration on private, loop-connected host ports is handled by a Solaris host.

3. Display the information about the host ports and their attached devices.
