showcomponent(1M) displays whether the specified component is listed in the platform, domain, or ASR blacklist file.
If neither the -a nor the -d option is specified, showcomponent displays the platform blacklist. If no location is specified, showcomponent displays all components in the specified blacklist.
The blacklist is an internal file that lists components POST cannot use at boot time. POST reads the blacklist file(s) before preparing the system for booting, and passes along to OpenBoot PROM a list of only those components that have been successfully tested; those on the blacklist are excluded.
SMS supports three blacklists, one for domain boards and one for platform boards; and the internal automatic system recovery (ASR) blacklist.
For more information on the use and editing of platform and domain blacklists refer to Chapter 7 in the System Management Services (SMS) 1.2 Administrator Guide for the Sun Fire 15K/12K Systems.
