28 SunPCi III 3.2.1 User’s Guide •March 2004
Toopen and run multiple SunPCi III cards on the same system, follow the directions
abovefor opening each particular disk image and card. Although the .ini file is not
dedicated to a particular disk image, you need to have an available .ini file for
each card you open. Enter the full path location of the .ini file.
Updating the SunPCi III CardConfiguration
Youmight need to add, remove, move, or replace a SunPCi III card. After doing this,
you must update the SunPCi III Solaris drivers on the system.
Toupdate the SunPCi III card configuration, complete the following procedure:
1. Remove the files /etc/Master.ini and /etc/Master.bak, if they exist.
2. Become superuser and type the following command:
3. Reconfigure any Boot@Boot support if needed as it will be lost. Add and enable
VNC and cards using the sunpcidadm command with the -a and -e options.
See “Configuring and Using Boot@Boot Support” on page 120.
4. Exit the superuser account and proceed as you would to start the software
normally.
Rebinding Images and Cards
When a disk image file is created, the Ethernet (MAC) addressof the card on which
the disk image filewas created is written into its header, binding the card to the disk
image file. The binding is only informational, and does not interfere with running a
C: or a D: drive on a different card. The sunpci command -Boption rewritesthe
MAC address of the current cardinto the disk image file header.
This switch is rarely used. If you are remapping a C: drive in which the MAC
address of the original card has been used by installed applications for registration
or network purposes, you risk licensing and networking issues.
