Gigaswift card device name
Neil Truby
I've fitted one of these:
Sun Quad GigaSwift Ethernet UTP Adapter ( QGE ) full length PCI card
with 4 * 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet interfaces
to each of 2 v440s.
But how can I tell if Solaris is "seeing" it, and what device name it would
have? I've trawled the web for this seemingly basic question, but I can't
find it ...
thanks

Neil, prtdiag and "prtconf -p" should show you details of the card, and
"modinfo | grep q" should give you an idea of the device name. If the
latter command suggests that it is in fact "qge" (apols, I don't have
one), try "ifconfig qge0 plumb up" and hopefully it will bring up the
interface. Then its the usual thing of configuring /etc/hosts and
/etc/hostname.qge0, and so on...
HTH, Beardy.

Thanks for trying, Beardy, but I'm hopelessly lost.
I reporduce prtdiag below.
Buf ifconfig qge0 produces:
ifconfig qge0 plumb
ifconfig: plumb: qge0: No such file or directory
And ifconfig ce1 plumb works fine, as do ce2-5, but when I do ifconfig -a
thet all have the same MAC address, so must all be the same on-board
interface card.
I'm so stuck on this. Any help appreciated.
thanks
Neil

No. The default for Sun hardware is to use the same address on all
interfaces.
ce interfaces should support the eeprom setting of 'local-mac-address?'
to 'true'.
Grep 'ce' in /etc/path_to_inst and post it here.

If you added it post-install, it will be ce2, ce3, ce4 and ce5.
If you installed pre-install it will probably be ce0 -> ce3, and the
on-board ethernet will be ce4 and ce5.

Not in this case. For V210/240 and V440's the default is
local-mac-address?=true (of course you can change it to false)

Thank you, Darren and Scott. The card has in fact been working fine for
some time: it's just this MAC address thing that threw me off track.

The Sun Fire V440 Server Installation Guide mentions that
Ethernet Port OBP Devalias Device Path
0 net0 /pci@1c,600000/network@2
1 net1 /pci@1f,700000/network@1
So ce0 is onboard ethernet port 0 and ce1 is ethernet port 1

In the handbook for the system board, it shows:
PCI Slot 3 1 A 33 3.3/5 /pci@1e,600000/<device>@4,*
So those ce devices are on the PCI card in slot 3. If that's where
you've put it, you've identified the devices.
