The man pages for prtconf (1M) and driver.conf (4) include additional details.
The next procedure shows an example of setting parameters in a ce.conf file.
▼ To Set Driver Parameters Using a ce.conf File
1. Obtain the hardware path names for the ce devices in the device tree.
a. Check the /etc/driver_aliases file to identify the name associated with a
particular device:
b. Locate the path names and the associated instance numbers are in the
/etc/path_to_inst file.
■ In the previous example:
■
The first part within the double quotes specifies the hardware node name in
the device tree.
■
The number not enclosed in quotes is the instance number (shown in bold
italics).
■
The last part in double quotes is the driver name.
■ In the device path name, the last component after the last / character and before
the @ character is the device name.
■ The path name before the last component is the parent name.
■ The number after the final @ character within quotes is referred to as unit-address.
To identify a PCI device unambiguously in the ce.conf file, use the name, parent
name, and the unit-address for the device. Refer to the pci (4) man page for more
information about the PCI device specification.
In the first line in the previous example:
■ parent = “ pci@9 ”
■ unit-address = “ 2”
In the second line in the previous example:
■ parent = “ pci@5 ”
# grep ce /etc/driver_aliases
ce "pci108e,abba"
# grep ce /etc/path_to_inst
"/pci@9,700000/network@2" 0 "ce"
"/pci@8,700000/pci@5/network@0" 3 "ce"
"/pci@8,700000/pci@5/network@1" 4 "ce"
