This document provides directions for using Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR) cfgadmin on the Sun Fire[TM] V880 Server. Directions are for the V880 server using the software command vs. using the pci DR button on the pci slots.

This example will begin by inserting a pci card in slot#6                                                            

RUN CFGADM TO VIEW THE PCI SLOTS CURRENT CONFIGURATION
