# cfgadm -als "cols=ap_id:condition" hca Ap_Id Condition hca:2C90109763F70 ok
If more than one IB-HCA device is installed in the server, a row is displayed for each. Look for the row displaying hca:GUID where GUID is the 64-bit number from the physical label on the IB-HCA ExpressModule. See Node GUID.
The Condition column must display ok to indicate that the driver has discovered the hardware and is bound to it. Refer to the cfgadm_ib(1m) man pages for details about the IB specific extensions.
# cfgadm -als "cols=ap_id:info" hca Ap_Id Information hca:2C90109763F70 VID: 0x15b3, PID: 0x5a44, #ports: 0x2, port1 GUID: 0x2C90109763F71, port2 GUID: 0x2C90109763F72
If more than one IB-HCA device is installed in the server, a row is displayed for each device. Look for the row displaying hca:GUID where GUID is the 64-bit number from the physical label on the IB-HCA ExpressModule. See Node GUID.
Use the port number and GUID displayed by this command for your IB-HCA device in the following step.
# cfgadm -als "select=type(IB-VPPA),cols=ap_id" Ap_Id ib::2C90109763F71,ffff,ipib ib::2C90109763F72,ffff,ipib
The command displays the AP_ID column where each row has the format of ib::Port GUID,P_Key,ipib. Match the Port GUIDs from the previous command with these port GUIDs. There must be one row corresponding to the port and P_Key setup by the Subnet Manager. If an entry is missing, check the Subnet Manager configuration.
