A configure operation may fail because an I/O board with a device does not currently support hot-plugging. In such a situation, the board is now only partially configured. The operation has stopped at the unsupported hot-plug device. In this situation, the board must be brought back to the unconfigured state before another configure attempt. In such a case the system will log messages similar to the following:
NOTICE: configuring dual-sbus-soc+ board in slot 4 NOTICE: dual-sbus-soc+ board in slot 4 partially configured reason:sysc iohelp configure: Bad address output from sysctrl configure is:attach failed: /sbus@8,0/SUNW,foo@d,10000/bar
To continue the configure operation, either remove the unsupported device's driver or replace it with a new version of the driver that will support hot-plugging.
