Setting Parameters Using the
qfe.conf File
You can also specify the properties described in the section, “Setting Parameters in
the
/etc/system File,” on a per-device basis by creating a qfe.conf file in the
/kernel/drv directory. The properties set in the qfe.conf file will override the
parameters set in the /etc/system file. Use a qfe.conf file when you need to set
a particular parameter for a device in the system. The parameters you set are read
and write parameters that are listed in “Driver Parameter Values and Definitions” on
page 24.
The man pages for prtconf (1M), system (4) and driver.conf (4) include
additional details. The next section shows an example of setting parameters in a
qfe.conf file.
set qfe:qfe_ipg1 = 10
set qfe:qfe_ipg2 = 5
