Note - Verification is not required if your system supports dynamic reconfiguration (DR).
Power on the associated blade server if needed.
When the banner appears on the server console, press the Stop-A key sequence to interrupt the boot process and display the OpenBoot (ok) prompt.
List the network devices on your system:
ok show-nets a) /pci@400/pci@0/pci@8/network@0,1 b) /pci@400/pci@0/pci@8/network@0 c) /pci@400/pci@0/pci@2/network@0,1 d) /pci@400/pci@0/pci@2/network@0 q) NO SELECTION Enter Selection, q to quit: q
If you do not see the device listed, check that the ExpressModule is properly seated. If necessary, reinstall the ExpressModule.
Note - Checking the .properties output for each device is the surest way to identify the device. Usually /pci@400/pci@0/pci@8 or /pci@400/pci@0/pci@9 corresponds to PCIe slots, so look at those devices first.
Check the .properties output for each device.
The following examples assume that /pci@400/pci@0/pci@8/network@0,1 is a port on the Sun Dual 10GbE SFP+ PCIe 2.0 ExpressModule.
Move to the device directory:
ok cd /pci@400/pci@0/pci@8/network@0,1
Display properties for the device:
ok .properties
The output will be similar to the following:
ok .properties assigned-addresses 82050110 00000000 00c00000 00000000 00400000 81050118 00000000 00001020 00000000 00000020 82050120 00000000 00304000 00000000 00004000 82050130 00000000 01000000 00000000 00400000 reg 00050100 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 03050110 00000000 00000000 00000000 00080000 01050118 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000020 03050120 00000000 00000000 00000000 00004000 02050130 00000000 00000000 00000000 00080000 local-mac-address 00 1b 21 37 ae 35 phy-type xgf version Sun Dual 10 GbE SFP+ PCIe 2.0 EM FCode 1.3 09/07/06 board-model 375-3616-01 model X1110a-z/1110a-z compatible pciex8086,1507.108e.7b10.1 pciex8086,1507.108e.7b10 pciex8086,1507.1 pciex8086,1507 pciexclass,020000 pciexclass,0200 address-bits 00000030 max-frame-size 00002400 network-interface-type ethernet device_type network name network fcode-rom-offset 0000f000 interrupts 00000002 cache-line-size 00000010 class-code 00020000 subsystem-id 00007b10 subsystem-vendor-id 0000108e revision-id 00000001 device-id 00001507 vendor-id 00008086
