.TH DEVICE_REMAP 1M "Dec 24, 2008"
.SH NAME
device_remap \- administer the Solaris I/O remapping feature
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fB/usr/platform/sun4v/sbin/device_remap\fR [\fB-v\fR | \fB-R\fR \fIdir\fR]
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
Certain multi-node sun4v platforms, such as T5440 and T5240 servers, have an
integrated PCI topology that cause the I/O device paths to change in a CPU node
failover condition. The device remapping script, \fBdevice_remap\fR, remaps the
device paths in \fB/etc/path_to_inst\fR file and the symlinks under \fB/dev\fR
to match the hardware.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
.LP
The following options are supported:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-v\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Displays the \fB/etc/path_to_inst\fR and \fB/dev\fR symlink changes.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-R\fR \fIdir\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Perform remapping on the \fB/etc/path_to_inst\fR and \fB/etc/path_to_inst\fR
files in the root image at \fIdir\fR.
.RE
.SH USAGE
.sp
.LP
The primary function of \fBdevice_remap\fR is to remap the device paths in the
\fB/etc/path_to_inst\fR file and the symlinks under \fB/dev\fR in a CPU node
failover condition to match the hardware.
.sp
.LP
After adding CPU node(s) or removing CPU node(s), boot the system to the OBP
prompt and use the following procedure:
.RS +4
.TP
1.
Boot either the failsafe miniroot using: \fBboot\fR \fB-F\fR \fBfailsafe\fR
, or an install miniroot using \fBboot net\fR \fB-s\fR or similar command.
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
2.
Mount the root disk as \fB/mnt\fR.
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
3.
Change directory to the mounted root disk:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
# \fBcd /mnt\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
4.
Run \fBdevice_remap\fR script:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
# \fB/mnt/usr/platform/sun4v/sbin/device_remap\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
5.
Boot the system from disk.
.RE
.sp
.LP
All the error messages are self-explanatory, except for the error message
"missing ioaliases node" which means the firmware on the system does not
support device remapping.
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
\fBExample 1 \fRDisplaying Changes Following Failover
.sp
.LP
The following command displays the \fBpath_to_inst\fR and \fB/dev\fR changes
following a CPU node failover.
.sp
.in +2
.nf
# \fBdevice_remap -v\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp
.LP
\fBExample 2 \fRChanging Directory Prior to Any Changes
.sp
.LP
The following command changes the directory on which the boot image is mounted
prior to making any changes.
.sp
.in +2
.nf
# \fBdevice_remap -R /newroot\fR
.fi
.in -2
