Note The cfgadm -lcommands displays information about fibre channel host ports. Use the cfgadm -alcommand to also display information about fibre channel devices. The lines that include a port World Wide Name in the attachment point ID field associated with c0 represent a Fabric device. Use the cfgadm configure and unconfigure commands to manage those devices be made available on Solaris host. The attachment points with port WWN under c1 represent private-loop devices that are configured through the c1 host port.

To Configure a Fabric Device

This procedure describes how to configure a Fabric device that is attached to the Fabric-connected host port c0.

1.Become superuser.

2.Identify the device to be configured.

Only the devices on a Fabric-connected host port can be configured.
