Network Device Aliases
A device alias is a shorthand representation of a device path. The Solaris OS provides
some predefined device aliases for the network devices so that you do not need to
type the full device path name.
Solaris OS device names, and associated ports for the Sun Netra CP3060 blade
server. The devalias command can be used to display the device aliases.

Retrieving Device Information
You use the Solaris platform information and control library (PICL) framework for
obtaining the state and condition of the Sun Netra CP3060 blade server.
The PICL framework provides information about the system configuration that it
maintains in the PICL tree. Within this PICL tree is a subtree named frutree, which
represents the hierarchy of system field-replaceable units (FRUs) with respect to a
root node in the tree called chassis. The frutree represents physical resources of the
system. The PICL tree is updated whenever a change occurs in a device's status.
