Sun Microsystems 817-3630-11 Manuel D’Utilisation

SunPCi III 3.2.1 User’s Guide • March 2004

To open and run multiple SunPCi III cards on the same system, follow the directions
above for opening each particular disk image and card. Although the

.ini

file is not

dedicated to a particular disk image, you need to have an available

.ini

file for

each card you open. Enter the full path location of the

.ini

file.

Updating the SunPCi III Card
Configuration

You might need to add, remove, move, or replace a SunPCi III card. After doing this,
you must update the SunPCi III Solaris drivers on the system.

To update the SunPCi III card configuration, complete the following procedure:

1. Remove the files

/etc/Master.ini

and

/etc/Master.bak

, if they exist.

2. Become superuser and type the following command:

3. Reconfigure any Boot@Boot support if needed as it will be lost. Add and enable

VNC and cards using the

sunpcidadm

command with the

-a

and

-e

options.

See “Configuring and Using Boot@Boot Support” on page 120.

4. Exit the superuser account and proceed as you would to start the software

normally.

Rebinding Images and Cards

When a disk image file is created, the Ethernet (MAC) address of the card on which
the disk image file was created is written into its header, binding the card to the disk
image file. The binding is only informational, and does not interfere with running a
C: or a D: drive on a different card. The

sunpci

command -

option rewrites the

MAC address of the current card into the disk image file header.

This switch is rarely used. If you are remapping a C: drive in which the MAC
address of the original card has been used by installed applications for registration
or network purposes, you risk licensing and networking issues.
