DOCUMENT ID: 1135-02 SYNOPSIS: Command to check configured Devices OS RELEASE: PRODUCT: Solaris x86 KEYWORDS: check configured hardware device prtconf DESCRIPTION: There is a command in Solaris x86 that can be used to check configured hardware devices. The command is "prtconf" and it can be executed at the # prompt. SOLUTION: What this command will do is check for all existing hardware and let you know what it finds. For instance, if you were adding a second serial port for your mouse, had done the boot -r to configure the device and the mouse still did not work. You could execute the 'prtconf' and look for the second instance of your asy device. If it does not appear in the list, what this is telling you is that the bus does not see your new hardware. So either your hardware is failing or is improperly configured (conflicting I/O or IRQ address). Below is a example of the output from the 'prtconf' command. System Configuration: Sun Microsystems i86pc Memory size: 32 Megabytes System Peripherals (Software Nodes): i86pc isa, instance #0 kd, instance #0 aha, instance #0 cmdk, instance #0 cmdk, instance #1 (driver not attached) cmdk, instance #2 (driver not attached) cmdk, instance #3 (driver not attached) cmdk, instance #4 (driver not attached) cmdk, instance #5 (driver not attached) cmdk, instance #6 (driver not attached) chanmux, instance #0 smc, instance #0 smc, instance #1 (driver not attached) smc, instance #2 (driver not attached) smc, instance #3 (driver not attached) smc, instance #4 (driver not attached) smc, instance #5 (driver not attached) asy, instance #0 options, instance #0 objmgr, instance #0 pseudo, instance #0 From this output you can determine that the system has found: 1. System memory-32 megabytes 2. Intel Platform-i86pc 3. Isa Bus-isa, instance #0 4. Keyboard-kd, instance #0 5. Adaptec controller-aha, instance #0 6. 1st drive-cmdk, instance #0 7. 1st ethernet card-smc, instance #0 8. 1st serial port-asy, instance #0 DATE APPROVED: 10/10/95
