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:
b. Locate the path names and the associated instance numbers are in the
/etc/path_to_inst file.
■In the previous example:
■The first part within the double quotes specifies the hardwarenode 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 referredto as unit-address.
Toidentify 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”
