Performing SATA Hot-Plugging Operations

SATA controller and port multiplier device ports are represented by attachment points in the device tree. SATA devices that are connected and configured on the system are shown as attachment point name extensions. The terms attachment point and SATA port can be used interchangeably.

The cfgadm syntax to display device information is the same as for SCSI devices, which is cfgadm -al. However, for brevity, the examples in this section use the grep utility to directly display a specific device's information.

The following example shows how SATA information is displayed by the cfgadm command.

% cfgadm -al
Ap_Id                 Type   Receptacle   Occupant     Condition
sata0/0::dsk/c7t0d0   disk   connected    configured   ok
sata0/1::dsk/c7t1d0   disk   connected    configured   ok
sata0/2::dsk/c7t2d0   disk   connected    configured   ok
sata0/3::dsk/c7t3d0   disk   connected    configured   ok
