Dynamically Reconfiguring IB Devices

You can configure or unconfigure an IB device on a system by using the cfgadm command. The command manages dynamic reconfiguration (DR) of the entire IB fabric as seen by a host. In addition, the command enables you to do the following:

  • Display the IB fabric

  • Manage communication services

  • Update P_key table databases

For more information, see the cfgadm_ib(1M) man page.

All the IB devices, such as Port, VPPA, HCA_SVC, IOC, and pseudo devices support cfgadm operations.


Note -  When performing configuration procedures on IB devices, you must have the appropriate administrative privileges. For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.2 .
