I need someone who knows about how path_to_inst is created....
I have a Sun V240 - running Solaris 9
It is a firewall - Checkpoint - also running stonebeat
The box has the four port bge motherboard adaptor and second four port
qfe adaptor fully ocupied and working.
The box has two single port hme cards that will not come online to
solaris..
That is I cannont get to work in path_to_inst.
There were instances in path_to_inst - but they would not plumb
I need the adaptors working and configured for Nov 5th - for a new DMZ.
So what I did last night...
I thought removing and reinstalling the cards might pick them up...
//////////////////////
Shut down - removed PCI adaptors
Reboot to OK
Show-devs = no hme
Reboot -r to Solaris = path_to_inst still has old hme showing
Reboot -- -r = path_to_inst still has hme
Delete hme from path_to_inst
Reboot -- -r = path_to_inst clear of hme
So now everything is clear of the hme adaptors...
Shutdown
//////////////////////////
Replace ethernet cards
///////////////////////
Boot to OK
Show-devs has hme - the following lines appear
/pci@1e,600000/SUNW,hme@3,1
/pci@1e,600000/pci108e,1000@3
/pci@1e,600000/SUNW,hme@2,1
/pci@1e,600000/pci108e,1000@2
Apply watch-net /pci@1e,600000/SUNW,hme@2,1
Checks out ok and sends mac frames ok...
Boot -r to solaris
Path_to_inst has no instances of hme
Reboot -- -r = path_to_inst still has no hme
Delete entire path_to_inst
Reboot to OK
Boot -ar
And reply yes to rebuild path_to_inst
Path_to_inst still does not have hme adaptors...
//////////////////
Try a few other things and look around in /dev and /devices
Give up (it is nearly midnight)
////////////////
Next day - I am looking at commands such as
Devfsadm ; devlinks ; drvconfig
Just tried a devfsadm -v
It gave no output but gave a new path_to_inst and still it does not have
the hme adaptors
///////////
Does anyone have any idea what to look for
Regards
Dave
