Adding Storage Devices

To add storage devices to an existing I/O board:

1. Terminate all active use of the devices on the I/O board.

   See "Terminating I/O Devices".

2. Unconfigure the board.

   ---

   # cfgadm -c unconfigure sysctrl#:slot#
   

   ---

3. Add the storage device controller:

   • For an optical controller, attach the I/O module and interface cable.

   • For an SBus or PCI controller card, use the Disconnect command before removing the board. Add the controller card and place the I/O board back in the card cage.

4. Reconfigure the board.

   ---

   # cfgadm -c configure sysctr#:slot#
   

   ---

   Only the Occupant state should change. The Receptacle state and condition should remain the same.

5. If you installed the board in a different slot, reconfigure the devices on the board by entering:

   ---

   # drvconfig; devlinks; disks; ports; tapes;
   

   ---

   The console should display a list of devices and their addresses.

6. Activate the devices on the board using commands such as mount and ifconfig, as appropriate.
