Installation guide

AT-2971 Solaris Sparc

Note

If you execute all changes in skge.conf after package installation and

before you reboot the system, no additional steps as described

below have to be performed.

Note

Before you choose one of the above possibilities, you MUST remove

the device links to the driver in the /dev directory manually.

Otherwise these links and the entries in the /devices directory will

not be created properly to show the new configuration of the driver.

10. Enter the following command to remove the device links:

rm /dev/skge*[0-9]

Warning

Please be very careful. It is possible to remove other devices and to

damage the system.

Now all entries are removed.

Reboot the system

If you want to reboot the system, perform the following procedure:

1. Remove the links to the driver in the /dev directory as described

above.

2. Create the file "reconfigure" in the root directory with the following

command:

touch /reconfigure

This informs the system about the nessecitiy to recreate the /dev

and /devices directories.

Unload and reload the driver with rem_drv/add_drv

To use the second possibility, perform the following procedure:

1. Deactivate the IP interfaces of all GE adapters with the following

command executed for each interface:

ifconfig <interface_name> unplumb

Example: ifconfig skge0 unplumb

2. Make sure that no other application or OS daemon is connected to

any of the GE adapters.
