Hi, We are trying to split IB hermon HCA driver into to two functional parts. One is hermon specific and the other is to be moved into mcxnex nexus driver that can be shared with mcxe NIC driver. Currently mcxnex nexus driver only support mcxe NIC. So after the change, the physical device path for the IB device will be different from before with nexus node added. The issue I can foresee is that if you have system running s11 with old hermon driver and then upgraded to S11 Update 1 with the new driver, since the new driver creates new device path, the old path before upgrade is broken now and software that depends on or has been configured with the old path is also broken now. One way to fix it is to link the old path to new one in the mechanism like postinstall script. We have done it before for nv_sata driver, but I don't know how to do it now with s11. Does it has anything equivalent to postinstall script?
Thanks. John. _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
