All, I was thinking today, after another request to translate ports on the back of a host into physical slots, that it would be very cool for the userbase to be able to run a command like
# dladm show-slot qfe0 PCI3 "/pci at 8,700000/pci at 2/SUNW,qfe at 0,1" qfe1 PCI3 "/pci at 8,700000/pci at 2/SUNW,qfe at 1,1" qfe2 PCI3 "/pci at 8,700000/pci at 2/SUNW,qfe at 2,1" qfe3 PCI3 "/pci at 8,700000/pci at 2/SUNW,qfe at 3,1" ge0 ONBOARD "/pci at 8,600000/network at 1" (etc) This should certainly be do-able for any Sun manufactured machines, and would be a nice touch. The main idea here is that way a single, simple command will yield understandable-to-most results without the need to understand too much. HP-UX has "lanscan" and "ioscan" to provide some degree of similar information. Extra points for something that covers host bus adapters as well. Comments, team?
