Disabled Board List

Attempting to connect a board that is on the disabled board list might produce an error message:

# cfgadm -c connect sysctrl0:slotnumber







cfgadm: Hardware specific failure: connect failed:
board is disabled: must override with [-f][-o enable-at-boot]

To override the disabled condition, two options are available:

• Using the force flag (-f)

  # cfgadm -f -c connect sysctrl0:slot number

• Using the enable option (-o enable-at-boot)

  # cfgadm -o enable-at-boot -c connect sysctrl0:slot number

To remove all boards from the disabled board list, choose one of two options depending on the prompt from which you issue the command:

• From the superuser prompt, type:

  # eeprom disabled-board-list=

• From the OpenBoot PROM prompt, type:

  OK set-default disabled-board-list

For further information about the disabled-board-list setting, refer to the “Specific NVRAM Variables” section in the Platform Notes: Sun Enterprise 3x00, 4x00, 5x00, and 6x00 Systems manual. This manual is part of the documentation set in this release.
