7. At the command line, use the grep command to search the /etc/path_to_inst
file for hme devices.
# grep hme /etc/path_to_inst
"/pci@1f,4000/network@1,1" 0 "hme"
"/pci@1f,4000/SUNW,hme@2,1" 1 "hme"
"/pci@1f,4000/pci@2/SUNW,hme@0,1" 2 "hme"
In the example above, the network@1,1 instance is the on-board FastEthernet
device, the old SUNW,hme@2,1 instance is for the previous Sun FastEthernet PCI
adapter, and the new SUNW,hme@0,1 instance is for the SunSwift PCI adapter.
You will need to know the instance number for the SunSwift PCI adapter. In the
above example, the instance number for the SunSwift PCI adapter is 2, which is
shown in bold.
8. Using the instance number found in Step 7, rename the
/etc/hostname.hme<num> file previously used by the Sun FastEthernet PCI
adapter to reflect the new instance number.
For example, if the previous file had an *.hme1 extension, and the new instance
number is 2, you would type:
# mv /etc/hostname.hme1 /etc/hostname.hme2
9. Halt and reboot your system.
# init 6
Note – Refer to the SunSwift PCI Adapter Installation and User's Guide for more
information about configuring the driver software.
