Hi,

i have a two port hba card in solaris 10 system one of which is disabled. How to enable and configure the other port.

please help

Does the HBA is recognized in the OS.
if you are not sure, prtdiag -v and grep for version in /var/adm/messages, then check the fcinfo hba-port

what you get if you issue the following command:

Code:

#fcinfo hba-port

Code:

fcinfo hba-port

shows three cards
all connected

tried syminq hba

it also shows 3 cards all online

all the three cards are one port cards as far as i found .

is there any command which shows the offline cards ??

Yes there is a useful command :

# cfgadm -a [to see the appropriate port to enable]
You can use the man to get the help but in all cases if the cards have been disabled you can enable'em:
# cfgadm -c connect name_of_port
# cfgadm -c configure name_of_port
The man pages in the top of the page, they are very useful for thorough details.

thanks a lot
