Description
System Controller (SC) on Sun Fire[TM] 12K/15K/E20K/E25K Servers have 2 types of System Controller boards: Nordica and Othello+.
To find out which type of board is in the SC, type the 'prtconf' command and check output for the following:

         Nordica Board : SUNW,UltraSPARC(R)-IIi-c Engine Processor

         Othello+ Board : SUNW,UltraSPARC(R)engine_CP-40 Processor

This document describes the MAN interface mapping for each type of board.



Steps to Follow
The tables below translate a network interface to the physical piece of hardware.

NOTE: MAIN and SPARE SCs must have the same type of boards :, Othello+ or Nordica.

For Othello+ Board :

The tables below translate a network interface to the physical piece of hardware.

NOTE : eri0 and eri1 are physically located on the Othello+ board (part # 501-6358), whereas eri2   eri21 are physically located on the SC Board (part # 501-5121).

Domain NICs :

To translate the MAN driver instance to a physical interface on a domain, the /etc/path_to_inst must be consulted.

% grep eri   /etc/path_to_inst

"/pci@11c,700000/ethernet@3,1" 0 "eri"

Using the PCI Bus Address, the translation can be completed using the table below. In this example, instance 0 is pci@11c. Thus, instance eri0 is physically located on I/O board 8.
