Q:x4270_m2 reconfigure PCI card to slot 5?

UNIX Solaris
1

Hello all,

I have a problem with my x4270_m2 server. I have a GBE lan built into the back of my server and I have a QGE pci card in slot 2 to be used as a redundant.
My server is not picking up the QGE lan card in slot2. From investigation of the /etc/path_to_inst, which shows:

#grep e1000 /etc/path_to_inst
"/pci@0,0/pci8086,3410@9/pci111d,806e@0/pci111d,806e@4/pci111d,8018@0/pci111d,8018@2/pci108e,11bc@0"  0  "e1000g"
"/pci@0,0/pci8086,3410@9/pci111d,806e@0/pci111d,806e@4/pci111d,8018@0/pci111d,8018@2/pci108e,11bc@0,1"  1  "e1000g"
"/pci@0,0/pci8086,3410@9/pci111d,806e@0/pci111d,806e@4/pci111d,8018@0/pci111d,8018@4/pci108e,11bc@0"  2  "e1000g"
"/pci@0,0/pci8086,3410@9/pci111d,806e@0/pci111d,806e@4/pci111d,8018@0/pci111d,8018@4/pci108e,11bc@0,1"  3 "e1000g"

A collegue has informed me that the file shows that the card is in slot2.

My question is:

  1. How can you tell which slot the pci card is inserted into from the above file, and
  2. What are the changes I need to make if I needed the card to be in slot 5 (besides physically moving it)?

If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it :slight_smile:

First try:

devfsadm -v

If it doesn't help, do reconfiguration reboot:

touch /reconfigure
init 6

Hi,

I've moved the LAN card from Slot2 to the correct spot (Slot5)
and done the touch / reconfigure and devfsadm, however the strange thing that happens is that im able to configure e1000g7 with an ip address (192.168.0.1) but if i plug my laptop (set with static ip address of 192.168.0.10) to the back of the server on port e1000g7 with a straight cable, i am not able to ping that IP address...i get 'unreachable host'

Can you help me further please?
