Sun Ultra 450 UPA/PCI System

This appendix describes information that is different in this PCI-bus-based system than that in an Sbus-based Sun system.


Banner Command Output

The output of the banner command appears as follows, indicating that it is a PCI-based system.

ok banner
Sun Ultra 450 (3 X UltraSPARC-II 248MHz), Keyboard Present
OpenBoot 3.5, 256 MB memory installed, Serial #8525185
Ethernet address 8:0:20:82:a5:81, Host ID: 80821581


Generic Names

Note that the output of the show-devs command shows some PCI- based nodes. PCI-based systems use generic names for devices. That is, the on-board network is named "network", and internal disks are named "diskn", with n representing the scsi target number for that disk, ("disk" with no number refers to "disk0"). Plug in PCI cards with their own FCode PROM may or may not be using generic names.

For details on generic names, see Recommended Practices available on the homepage for the Open Firmware Working Group at:

SCSI Internal Busses

For Ultra 450 systems, there are two internal SCSI busses. The device "scsi" refers to the internal SCSI I/O bus for internal disks, while device "scsix" refers to the removeable-media and external (connector on back panel) internal SCSI bus.

The following shows the output of a devalias command on a Sun Ultra 450 UPA/PCI system.

.properties for a PCI Device

When you look at properties for a device node of a PCI device, you will see a few properties that are unique to PCI devices and a few properties that have a different format than that of a SBus device. For example, the output of .properties for a PCI device:

ok cd /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3
ok .properties

The following example shows generic names for devices under /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3 :

ok ls

f007ecdc disk


.speed Command

The command .speed shows the speed for both processors and busses attached to the system, as follows:

ok .speed
CPU Speed : 248.00MHz
UPA Speed : 082.66MHz
PCI Bus A at UPA node 1f: 66Mhz
PCI Bus B at UPA node 1f: 33Mhz
PCI Bus A at UPA node 6: 66Mhz
PCI Bus B at UPA node 6: 33Mhz
PCI Bus A at UPA node 4: 66Mhz
PCI Bus B at UPA node 4: 33Mhz


Probing of Slots For PCI Busses

The Sun Ultra 450 UPA/PCI system has ten PCI plug-in slots, distributed across six PCI busses, called pci0 to pci5; probing of slots for those busses is controlled by the following two NVRAM configuration variables:

TABLE H-1 NVRAM Configuration Variables

Variable Name

Default Value

Description

pcio-probe-list

3 ,2, 4

Controls probe order of plug-in devices under pcio

pci-slot-skip-list

none

Controls skipping of PCI plug-in slots


pci0-probe-list specifies the device probe order on the "B" bus of the 1F PCI Controller. Device 3 is the motherboard 875 UltraSCSI bus (internal disks), device 2 is the motherboard 875 for removeable media and backpanel external connections (two motherboard 875 chips), while device 4 is an open 33MHz 32-bit slot for plug-in cards.

The remaining 5 PCI busses (pci1 to pci5) probe device slots in ascending numerical order, which order cannot be changed.

pci-slot-skip-list is a list (1 to 10) of PCI slots that should not be probed. The values "1" to "10" correspond to the backpanel PCI slots, from bottom to top.

The Ultra 450 systems provide 10 PCI plug-in slots, numbered from 1 to 10, bottom-to-top (accessible and labeled from the back of the system). The 10 PCI slots correspond to the six PCI busses as follows:

TABLE H-2

/pci@6,4000/ xxx @3

64 Bit

33MHz

1

pci4

/pci@6,4000/ xxx @4

64 Bit

33MHz


where the xxx will correspond to the particular PCI card plugged into that slot. For example, plugging an 875/glm SCSI controller card into slot 8 will yield/pci@4,4000/scsi@3 ,while plugging an 876 dual-SCSI card into slot 5 will yield two separate "devices" /pci@1f,2000/scsi@1 and /pci@1f,2000/scsi@1,1 . Inserting a PCI-to-PCI card (such as used for a PCI bus expansion box, or as used on some multi-function PCI cards like the Sun Swift PCI card) into slot 4 will yield a device name /pci@6,2000/pci@1 , and will subsequently have further devices created "underneath" this node, such as /pci@6,2000/pci@1/SUNW,hme@0,1 .

Some of these slots are unavailable if certain graphics options are plugged-in. For example, installing the second FFB graphics card will occupy the physical space of PCI slots 10, 9, and 8. Other graphics options may use up the space occupied by PCI slots 10 to 4.
