Locate a PCIe Card in the Server

Language:

At the Oracle Solaris prompt, list all of the PCIe devices in the device tree:

# hotplug list -l | grep PCIE

This command lists dynamically reconfigurable PCIe resources and shows their operational status. In this case, look for the status of the card you plan to remove.

This example is from a SPARC M7-8:

root@m78-server:~# hotplug list -l | grep PCIE
/pci@301/pci@1   [/SYS/CMIOU0/PCIE3] ENABLED
/pci@303/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU0/PCIE1]   ENABLED
/pci@305/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU1/PCIE2]   EMPTY
/pci@306/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU1/PCIE3]   ENABLED 
/pci@308/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU1/PCIE1]   ENABLED 
/pci@30a/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU2/PCIE2]   EMPTY 
/pci@30b/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU2/PCIE3]   EMPTY
/pci@30d/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU2/PCIE1]   EMPTY 
/pci@30f/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU3/PCIE2]   EMPTY
/pci@310/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU3/PCIE3]   EMPTY
/pci@312/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU3/PCIE1]   EMPTY 
/pci@314/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU4/PCIE2]   EMPTY 
/pci@315/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU4/PCIE3]   EMPTY
/pci@317/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU4/PCIE1]   EMPTY
/pci@319/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU5/PCIE2]   EMPTY
/pci@31a/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU5/PCIE3]   EMPTY
/pci@31c/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU5/PCIE1]   EMPTY
/pci@31e/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU6/PCIE2]   EMPTY
/pci@31f/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU6/PCIE3]   EMPTY
/pci@321/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU6/PCIE1]   EMPTY
/pci@323/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU7/PCIE2]   EMPTY
/pci@324/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU7/PCIE3]   EMPTY
/pci@326/pci@1 [/SYS/CMIOU7/PCIE1]   EMPTY

The keyword (EMPTY) identifies a slot that contains a blank filler panel.
Determine the type of card that is currently in a slot.
```
# hotplug  get -o card_type path
```
Determine your next step.
- If the PCIe card is assigned to an I/O domain, see Prepare a PCIe Card For Removal.
- If the PCIe card is not assigned to an I/O domain, see Remove a PCIe Card Carrier and Card From the Server.
