Installing the Adapter With Dynamic
Reconfiguration

If you have a Sun Enterprise system that supports dynamic reconfiguration (DR),
you do not have to reboot your system after installing the adapter.

The process of adding and configuring an adapter with DR involves (1) connecting
the attachment point and (2) configuring its occupant. In most cases, the

cfgadm

(1M) command can perform both steps at once.

To Install an Adapter in a Dynamic
Reconfiguration System

1. Verify that the selected board slot is ready for the adapter.

The states and conditions should be:

Or:

# cfgadm

Receptacle state—Empty

Occupant state—Unconfigured

Condition—Unknown

Receptacle state—Disconnected

Occupant state—Unconfigured

Condition—Unknown
