PCI i/o card address mapping on Sun Enterprise Ultra[TM] |
|
2 Dec 2002 |
How to read a device path and determine the location of a PCI
card mounted on a PCI I/O board in an Ultra Enterprise
(UE) 3x00 - 6x00 server.
Example device path from a UE server with a PCI I/O board installed:
/pci@x,4000/scsi@2
First, divide x by 2. The whole number quotient indicates the
slot location of the PCI board in the UE server. If there is a
remainder of 0, the PCI card is located in the PCI 0 slot of the
I/O board. If the remainder is 1, it is located in the PCI 1
slot of the I/O board.
/pci@x,4000/SUNW,isptwo@3 is the device path (or physical name) for
the onboard UltraSCSI port on a PCI I/O board. This port is controlled
by the PCI 1 Psycho chip on the board.
/pci@x,4000/SUNW,hme@1,1 is the device path (or physical name) for the
onboard fast ethernet port on a PCI I/O board. This port is controlled
by the PCI 0 Psycho chip on the board.
Example device path:
/pci@6,4000/scsi@2
From this example, it is determined that the PCI I/O board is in slot 3
of the UE server (6 divided by 2 = 3). There is no remainder, so the scsi
card is in the PCI 0 slot of the PCI I/O board.
These are the most common driver names that may appear in a device path. This
is to help identify different cards that may be installed.
fas - driver for fast/wide SCSI controllers
hme - driver for Fast Ethernet
isp - driver for differential SCSI controllers and the SunSwift card
glm - driver for UltraSCSI controllers
scsi - driver for Small Computer Serial Interface (SCSI) devices
sf - driver for soc+ or socal Fiber Channel Arbitrated Loop (FCAL)
soc - driver for SPARC(R) Storage Array (SSA) controllers
socal - driver for serial optical controllers for FCAL (soc+)
NOTE: This information is correct as of OBP version 3.2.30 and above.
