26 SunPCi III 3.2.1 User’s Guide •March 2004
▼How to Start a Specific .ini File
By default, SunPCi software uses the SunPC.ini file when you use the sunpci
command. Tostart a different emulated drive, which you must do in a multiple card
configuration, use the sunpci command with the -p option. Youthen must enter
the full path of the location of the .ini file.
●Tostart SunPCi software with a specific file using the -p option, type the
following command:
Where pathname is the full directory path of the .ini file, for example,
/home/my_directory/pc/SunPC.ini.
The SunPCi III software starts, using the referenced disk image.
If you start an emulated drive with a card on which that drive was not created, you
get the following warning dialog box about the Ethernet (MAC) address:
Ifapplication registration or network configuration setup is affected, you can use the
-n option, or you can bind the particular image and card by remapping the MAC
address to the disk image.
If you want to bind the MAC address to the current disk image, use the -B option
with the sunpci command. See “The sunpci Command and Its Options” on
page110 for more details.
▼How to Start a Specific Card
Sometimes you might need to start a specific card with a specific C: drive. For
example, you might want to run on a cardwith a printer that is attached to a port, or
to run on a card that providesbetter support for a memory intensive application.
% /opt/SUNWspci3/bin/sunpci -p pathname.ini
This emulated drive image was created on another SunPCi card. This
could cause problems if there was special hardware connected to
that card. It could also cause problems if your installed software
or configuration makes any assumptions about the MAC address.
Emulated Disk File /pathname/c.diskimage
was created on the card with the MAC address xx:yy:zz:zz:yy:xx
If you do not wish to see this message in the future, start sunpci
with the -n option.
