Sun Microsystems X1150A To Set Driver Parameters Using a ce.conf File, # grep ce /etc/pathtoinst

The man pages for prtconf(1M) and driver.conf(4) include additional details. The next procedure shows an example of setting parameters in a ce.conf file.

▼To Set Driver Parameters Using a ce.conf File

1.Obtain the hardware path names for the ce devices in the device tree.

a.Check the /etc/driver_aliases file to identify the name associated with a particular device:

#grep ce /etc/driver_aliases ce "pci108e,abba"

b.Locate the path names and the associated instance numbers are in the

/etc/path_to_inst file.

#grep ce /etc/path_to_inst

"/pci@9,700000/network@2" 0 "ce" "/pci@8,700000/pci@5/network@0" 3 "ce" "/pci@8,700000/pci@5/network@1" 4 "ce"

■In the previous example:

■The first part within the double quotes specifies the hardware node name in the device tree.

■The number not enclosed in quotes is the instance number (shown in bold italics).

■The last part in double quotes is the driver name.

■In the device path name, the last component after the last / character and before the @ character is the device name.

■The path name before the last component is the parent name.

■The number after the final @ character within quotes is referred to as unit-address.

To identify a PCI device unambiguously in the ce.conf file, use the name, parent name, and the unit-address for the device. Refer to the pci(4) man page for more information about the PCI device specification.

In the first line in the previous example:

■parent = “pci@9”

■unit-address = “2”

In the second line in the previous example:

■parent = “pci@5”
