Verify the Installation in a Solaris SPARC System

Before You Begin

Note - Verification is not required if your system supports dynamic reconfiguration (DR).


  1. Power on the associated blade server if needed.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.


  4. 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.

    1. Move to the device directory:

      ok cd /pci@400/pci@0/pci@8/network@0,1
    2. Display properties for the device:

      ok .properties

      The output will be similar to the following:

      ok .properties
