How to Configure a IB Port, HCA_SVC, or a VPPA Device

Use the following steps if you want to configure an IB Port, HCA_SVC, or a VPPA device on the system.

The example below illustrates how to configure a VPPA device, but similar steps can be used to configure Port and HCA_SVC devices as well.

1. Become superuser.

2. Configure the IB VPPA device.

   For example:

   # cfgadm -c configure ib::1730000007F51,8001,ipib

3. Verify that the device is connected.

   For example:

   # cfgadm -a ib::1730000007F51,8001,ipib Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition ib::1730000007F51,8001,ipib IB-VPPA connected configured ok

   Note –

   A cfgadm based configure or unconfigure operation of IB Port and HCA_SVC devices is similar to the preceding examples for an IB VPPA device.
