3. Manually plumb fp instances.
Use the
ifconfig
interface
plumb
command.
If no error message is displayed, manual plumbing has succeeded. Repeat this step
for the other fp instances identified in Step 2.

To Determine an FP Instance for a Known HBA
Port Physical Device Path
1. Determine the HBA PCI adapter slot and the I/O board PCI slot.
You will need this information to perform the calculation in Step 2.
For example, assume you have a Sun StorEdge 3500 array with a HBA card located
in the PCI adapter slot 5 and the PCI adapter is in slot 1 of the I/O board.
2. Determine fp instance number.
a. Use an editor to search for the fp driver binding name in the
/etc/
path_to_inst
file.
Entries will have “fp” on the line.
b. Narrow search by using the I/O board and slot information from Step 1.
i. Multiply the PCI adapter slot number by 2.
Using the Sun StorEdge 3500 array with a HBA in PCI adapter slot 5, you
would multiply 5 with 2 and get 10.
ii. Add the PCI adapter I/O board slot number to the number derived in Step i.
Using the Sun StorEdge 3500 array with a HBA in PCI adapter slot 5 and PCI
slot 1 of the I/O board, you would add 1 to 10 for a sum of 11.
iii. Convert the number derived in Step ii to hexadecimal.
The number 11 converts to b in hexadecimal.
iv. Search for the “fp” entry with pci@hex where hex is the number you derived
in Step iv.
