Solaris Common Messages and Troubleshooting Guide

WARNING: add_spec: No major number for sf

Cause

The system prints the following warning message while booting: 


        SunOS Release 5.5.1 Version Generic_103640-03 [UNIX(R)
        System V Release 4.0]
        Copyright (c) 1983-1996, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
        WARNING: add_spec: No major number for sf
The sf(7D) driver is specific for a Sun Enterprise Network Array (SENA), also known as a "photon".

Action

If there is no SENA attached to the system, the message can be safely ignored. To stop seeing the message comment out the last line in /kernel/drv/ssd.conf that references sf(7D).

If you do this, and then later attach a SENA to your system, please remember to uncomment this line again.
