Set Driver Parameters (Oracle Solaris
OS)
1. Locate the path names and the associated instance numbers in the
/etc/path_to_inst
file.
For example, on an Oracle SPARC system, you should see output similar to the
following:
On an Oracle Solaris x86 system, you should see output similar to the following:
In the preceding 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 for
emphasis).
■
The last part in double quotes is the driver name.
Note –
To identify a PCIe device unambiguously in the
ixgbe.conf
file, use the
name, parent name, and unit address for the device. In the example, the name is
pci108e,7b15
, the parent is
/pci@0,0/pci8086,3c0a@3,2
, and the unit address
is
0
. Refer to the
pci
(4) man page for more information about the PCIe device
specification.
2. Set the parameters for the
ixgbe
(7D) devices in the
/kernel/drv/ixgbe.conf
file.
For example, to set the
flow_control
parameter to
3
for
ixgbe0
:
#
grep ixgbe /etc/path_to_inst
"/pci@500/pci@2/pci@0/pci@a/network@0" 1 "ixgbe"
"/pci@500/pci@2/pci@0/pci@a/network@0,1" 2 "ixgbe"
#
grep ixgbe /etc/path_to_inst
"/pci@0,0/pci8086,3c0a@3,2/pci108e,7b15@0"
0
"ixgbe"
"/pci@0,0/pci8086,3c0a@3,2/pci108e,7b15@0,1"
1
"ixgbe"
name = "pci108e,7b15"
parent = "/pci@0,0/pci8086,3c0a@3,2"
unit-address = "0"
flow_control = 3;
