The man pages for prtconf(1M) and driver.conf(4) include additional details.

The next procedure shows an example of setting parameters in a ce.conf file.

▼ To Set Driver Parameters Using a ce.conf File

1. Obtain the hardware path names for the ce devices in the device tree.

a. Check the /etc/driver_aliases file to identify the name associated with a

particular device:

b. Locate the path names and the associated instance numbers are in the

/etc/path_to_inst file.

■ In the previous example:

■ The first part within the double quotes specifies the hardware node name in

the device tree.

■ The number not enclosed in quotes is the instance number (shown in bold

italics).

■ The last part in double quotes is the driver name.

■ In the device path name, the last component after the last / character and before

the @ character is the device name.

■ The path name before the last component is the parent name.

■ The number after the final @ character within quotes is referred to as unit-address.

To identify a PCI device unambiguously in the ce.conf file, use the name, parent

name, and the unit-address for the device. Refer to the pci(4) man page for more

information about the PCI device specification.

In the first line in the previous example:

■ parent =“pci@9”

■ unit-address =“2”

In the second line in the previous example:

■ parent =“pci@5”

# grep ce /etc/driver_aliases

ce "pci108e,abba"

# grep ce /etc/path_to_inst

"/pci@9,700000/network@2"

"ce"

"/pci@8,700000/pci@5/network@0"

"ce"

"/pci@8,700000/pci@5/network@1"
