How to Display Card Status

You can use the cfgadm command to display status information about cards and slots. Refer to the cfgadm(1M) man page for options to this command.

To Access the Basic Status Display

Many DR operations require that you specify a card or slot.

    To obtain the system names for cards or slots, as superuser, type:


    # cfgadm
    

    When used without options, cfgadm displays information about all known cards and slots. The following display shows a typical output.


    # cfgadm
    Ap_Id      Type          Receptacle    Occupant        Condition
    PCI0       unknown       empty         unconfigured    unknown
    PCI1       unknown       empty         unconfigured    unknown
    PCI2       unknown       empty         unconfigured    unknown
    PCI3       mult/hp       connected     configured      ok
    PCI4       ethernet/hp   connected     configured      ok
    PCI5       pci-pci/hp    connected     configured      ok
    PCI6       unknown       empty         unconfigured    unknown
    PCI7       unknown       empty         unconfigured    unknown
    PCI8       unknown       empty         unconfigured    unknown
    SBa        cpu/mem       connected     configured      ok
    SBb        cpu/mem       connected     configured      ok
    SBc        cpu/mem       connected     configured      ok
    SBd        none          empty         unconfigured    ok

    The first column, Ap_Id, lists the system's attachment points. An attachment point is a collective term for a card and its associated slot. There are two types of system names for attachment points. A physical attachment point describes the physical path to the slot in the system device tree. A logical attachment point, or attachment point ID, is an alias created by the system to refer to the physical attachment point.

    For example, in the cfgadm output shown previously, the logical attachment point ID of the PCI card in the first slot is PCI0.


    Note -

    The cfgadm status display shows attachment points for both PCI cards and CPU/Memory boards. However, DR operations for Sun Fire 880 CPU/Memory boards are not supported in the Solaris 8 4/01 Operating Environment.


    The following table lists the attachment point IDs for all of the Sun Fire 880 PCI and CPU/Memory board slots.

To Access the Detailed Status Display

You can use the -v (verbose) option to access expanded descriptions.

    For a more detailed status report, as superuser, type:


    # cfgadm -v
    

In addition to the information provided by the basic status display, the detailed status information includes the physical attachment point of each card.

The following is an example of the display produced by the cfgadm -v command.
