7. At the command line, use the

grep

command to search the

/etc/path_to_inst

file for

hme

devices.

In the example above, the

network@1,1

instance is the on-board FastEthernet

device, the old

SUNW,hme@2,1

instance is for the previous Sun FastEthernet PCI

adapter, and the new

SUNW,hme@0,1

instance is for the SunSwift PCI adapter.

You will need to know the instance number for the SunSwift PCI adapter. In the
above example, the instance number for the SunSwift PCI adapter is 2, which is
shown in bold.

8. Using the instance number found in Step 7, rename the

/etc/hostname.hme

<num> file previously used by the Sun FastEthernet PCI

adapter to reflect the new instance number.

For example, if the previous file had an

*.hme1

extension, and the new instance

number is 2, you would type:

9. Halt and reboot your system.

Note –

Refer to the SunSwift PCI Adapter Installation and User’s Guide for more
