Chapter 3 Using Multiple SunPCi III Cards 29
Beforeattempting to reconfigure the binding of any disk image, verify that you have
read and understood the sunpci and the sunpciflash command-line options. For
more information, refer to “The sunpci Command and Its Options” on page110.
Multiple Card Behavior
The following sections explain limitations or features of a SunPCi III session when
running multiple cards installed in the same system.

Networking With Multiple Cards

Virtualnetworking is automatically disabled in systems with more than one card
installed. Use physical networking with multiple card configurations.
See “Networking With SunPCi III Hardwareand Software” on page 31 for more
information.

Using the Diskette Drive With Multiple Cards

When multiple cards on a system are running, once the diskette drive is being used
by a SunPCi III session, the drive is not available to any other session. When not in
use,the diskette drive is locked to the first SunPCi III session started after it becomes
available.

Using the CD-ROM Drive With Multiple Cards

When multiple cards on a system are running, they all share the system CD-ROM
drive. One unusual, but expected behavior is that when you insert a CD into the
drive, the Autorun option starts on all running SunPCi sessions.
