Disabled Board List

If a board is on the disabled board list, an attempt to connect the board may produce an error message:

# cfgadm -c connect sysctrl0:slotnumber
cfgadm: Hardware specific failure: connect failed: board is disabled: must override with [-f][-o enable-at-boot]

1. To override the disabled condition, use the force flag (-f) or the enable option (-o enable-at-boot) with the cfgadm command:

   # cfgadm -f -c connect sysctrl0:slotnumber

   # cfgadm -o enable-at-boot -c connect sysctrl0:slotnumber

1. To remove all boards from the disabled board list, set the disabled-board-list variable to a null set with the system command:

   # eeprom disabled-board-list=

1. If you are at the OpenBoot prompt, use this command instead of the above to remove all boards from the disabled board list:

   OK set-default disabled-board-list

   For further information about the disabled-board-list setting, refer to the section “Specific NVRAM Variables” in the Platform Notes: Sun Enterprise 3x00, 4x00, 5x00, and 6x00 Systems manual in the Solaris on Sun Hardware Collection AnswerBook set in this release.
