Solution  1003441.1 :   Sun Fire[TM] 3800R/4800(R)/4810(R)/6800: Server I/O Card Probe Order  


PreviouslyPublishedAs

Description

This document describes the general OBP card probe/discovery order for a Sun Fire[TM] 3800R/48x0(R)/6800 system. This probe order is useful in pre-determining what Solaris[TM] Operating System instance a particular card might have upon installation or reconfigure reboot. Note that the OS probes in the opposite order that the OBP does.

Steps to Follow

The general probe order is:

 # highest IB to lowest IB
# Schizo 1 then Schizo 0, within the current IB
# Leaf A (66Mhz) of the current Schizo first
# Leaf B (33Mhz) of the current Schizo next, highest slot number first 

For an 8-slot PCI IB, the order is: 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0
For a 6-slot cPCI IB, the order is: 1, 5, 4, 0, 3, 2
For a 4-slot cPCI IB, the order is: 1, 0, 3, 2

Note that the actual instance numbers assigned depend upon factors other than just this probe order - such as previously existing hardware instances in /etc/path_to_inst, etc.

Comment: The probe order here is for the OBP. The OS probes in the opposite order. Adding comment to indicate this. I had a PS person build a large design spec based on this and it was incorrect.

Comment: I agree with renewal- Is there any method to renew for greater than 1 year. Would be good to renew this doc for 5 years.
Product has not been EOL'd as yet. This doc will be valuable
information for a minimum of 5 years. Very likely longer, but no need
to create extra review work.
