Installing the Adapter (with DR)

If you have a Sun Enterprise 6x00,5x00, 4x00, or 3x00 system that supports Dynamic
Reconfiguration (DR), you do not have to reboot your system. The process of adding
and configuring an adapter with DR involves (1) connecting the attachment point
and (2) configuring its occupant. In most cases, the cfgadm(1M) command can
perform both steps at once.

To Install an Adapter

1. Verify that the selected board slot is ready for the adapter.
# cfgadm
