Page 21: Configuring Host Files
/etc/path_to_inst file lists the adapter’s instance number as 1, you would create a file called /etc/hostname.hme1. Note – If you have replaced a Sun FastEthernet PCI adapter with the SunSwift PCI adapter, using the same PCI slot, you will need to rename the existing hostname.hme<num>... - Page 22 Do not create an /etc/hostname.hme<num> file for a SunSwift PCI adapter channel you do not plan to use. The /etc/hostname.hme<num> file must contain the hostname for the appropriate network interface. The hostname should have an IP address and should be entered in the /etc/hosts file.

Page 28: Local-Mac-Address Property
Solaris AnswerBook. local-mac-address Property The network interface of the SunSwift PCI Adapter is assigned a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address, which represents the 48-bit ethernet address for the channel. The OpenBoot™ firmware reports this MAC address via the local-mac-address property in the device nodes corresponding to the network interfaces. -
Page 29: Using The Selftest Diagnostics
Using the selftest Diagnostics The following tests are available to help identify problems when the system containing the SunSwift PCI adapter does not boot. The FCode selftest is added to the device tree during the probing phase of the OpenBoot PROM start-up sequence. You can invoke the FCode selftest diagnostics by using the OpenBoot user interface test or test-all commands. -
