2.4 Relocating a SunFastEthernet Card (Solaris 2.x Only)
If a SunFastEthernet card is installed in an sbus slot and you later change the
location of the card, then you must perform the following procedure or the
driver will not be recognized within the system:
1. Use the pkgrm command to remove the driver SUNWbmac as shown in
the following example:
# pkgrm SUNWbmac
2. Edit the file(s) /etc/path_to_inst and /etc/name_to_major by removing any
references to the be channel that you are changing from.
For example:
# grep be /etc/path_to_inst
/io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/qec@1.20000/be@0,0
and:
# grep be /etc/name_to_major
be 111
In both the above examples, the results of the grep command for the
be<num> channel you are moving the card from, should be deleted.
3. Move the SunFastEthernet card to the new slot location and then reboot
the system.
4. Add the SUNWbmac package using the pkgadd command as indicated in
Section 4.2.3, "Adding SUNWbmac Using pkgadd Command".
