How to Manually Configure a FC Device

1. Become an administrator.
2. Copy the /kernel/drv/fp.conf file to the /etc/driver/drv/fp.conf file.
3. Enable manual configuration by making sure that the following line in the/etc/driver/drv/fp.conf file is uncommented.

   manual_configuration_only=1;

   Refer to the fp(7D) man page and the cfgadm_fp(1M) man page for further information on this setting.

4. Reboot the system.
5. For each fabric-connected device to be made available, select one of the following tasks, depending on whether you are using the Solaris I/O multipathing features.

   • Configuring Device Nodes Without Multipathing Enabled

   • Configuring Device Nodes With Solaris Multipathing Enabled

   If the original default behavior for fabric-connected devices is desired, see the next step.

6. Disable manual configuration by making sure that the following line in the/etc/driver/drv/fp.conf file is commented:

   # manual_configuration_only=1;

   For more information about this setting, see cfgadm_fp(1M) and fp(7d).
