Many thanks for the very quick replies (Anthony D'Atri, Adrian Koester, Robert Legate, Kenneth Stevens, and Mike Weeks). First, looking at /etc/path_to_inst indicated that they would also be e1000g, which indicates that they use the same driver as the onboard interfaces. Had they been a different driver, they would have shown up as something else. Then, `ifconfig -a plumb` simply brought them out so that I could see them with `ifconfig -a`. I had been afraid to do that before, because I thought it might mess with the working interfaces. However, it only issued an alert that they were already up. So, I'm in business, and the device names are e1000g4 and e1000g5.

Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2009 12:09:35 -0400 From: Chris Hoogendyk <hoogendyk@bio.umass.edu> To: Sun Managers List <sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org> I'm feeling really dumb on this . . . . I've added an X7280A-2 PCI dual GigE NIC to one of my T5220's. I have that in PCI0. I have a dual SAS card in PCI1, and a dual Ultra320 SCSI in PCI2. I've been running with the SCSI for several months. I just added the SAS and the extra GigE. When I booted it up, the SAS just came up (I got the bad magic number stuff that you typically get with unconfigured drives) with my J4200. I tried a `ipconfig -a` and didn't see anything extra for the new NIC. Then I realized I hadn't done a `touch /reconfigure`. So, I did that and rebooted. Now, I can't find anything about the extra interfaces anywhere that tells me what they should be called. I tried doing an ipconfig plumb using nxge0 and was told by ipconfig that that was wrong. I have looked at prtconf and prtdiag and have looked at `show /SYS/MB/RISER0/PCIE0` in the ILOM console, and it told me it was an Express Module and that it was Enabled. So, how do I get my teeth into this so that I can start setting it up? What is it supposed to be called? Just as a side note, all the e1000g0,1,2,3 interfaces are in use and working. -- --------------- Chris Hoogendyk - O__ ---- Systems Administrator c/ /'_ --- Biology & Geology Departments (*) \(*) -- 140 Morrill Science Center ~~~~~~~~~~ - University of Massachusetts, Amherst <hoogendyk@bio.umass.edu> --------------- Erdvs 4 _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Fri Jun 26 13:04:36 2009
