Quad Fast Ethernet Trunking Software Setup

NOTE:  There is a manual that came with this.  This is only a summary.
        This DOES NOT “come with” the QFE card.  It is software that was purchased from Sun.

Edit the file: /etc/opt/SUNWqfetr/bin/qfetr.sh
An explanation of the settings you can use are included in the file below

echo Configuring QFE trunking devices
#
# Please check your /etc/path_to_inst file to select an instance # to
# be used as trunk head and this instance # must belong to a 4-port
# qfe card.
#
#   Example: /etc/path_to_inst
#
#    “/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,qfe@3,8c30000” 3 “qfe”
#    “/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,qfe@3,8c20000” 2 “qfe”
#    “/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,qfe@3,8c10000” 1 “qfe”
#    “/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,qfe@3,8c00000” 0 “qfe”
#
# Edit this file by adding qfetr(1M) commands that will set up
# the trunk head, the number of links per trunk and the trunk policy.
#
# After modifying this file qfetr.sh, you must create
# /etc/hostname.qfe entry(N is the instance #) for this trunk head and
# reboot your system.
#
#       qfetr -setup head-instance [ links=<2|4> ] [ policy=<1..32> ]
#                                  [ members=<instance,instance,.,.> ]
#
#
# If you want to change the trunk configuration once a trunk is configured,
# you need to modify this file qfetr.sh and reboot the system.
#
# The following examples configure two trunks:
#
# The first qfetr command uses qfe instance #0 as trunk head,
# 4 links (default is 4) for this trunk and the default trunk policy is 1
# which # is mac.
#
#qfetr -setup 0
#       or
#qfetr -setup 0 links=4 policy=1
#
# The second qfetr command uses qfe instance #4 as trunk head,
# 2 links for this trunk, the trunk policy is 2 which is round robin
# and trunk members are 4 and 5 Trunk members are instance numbers
# recorded in /etc/path_to_inst file.
#
#qfetr -setup 4 links=2 policy=2 members=4,5

# Add Sun Trunking Configuration entries below.
#
# Details
#——–
# setup – trunk head, pick one of the instances
# links – how many links will be in this config:
#       4 – one 400mb virtual connection
#       2 – two separate trunks ( two 200mb connections)
# policy – MAC or roundrobin
#       1 – MAC
#       2 – roundrobin
# members – the instance numbers that belong to this trunk

qfetr -setup 0 links=2 policy=1 members=0,1

Creating a Bootable Solaris Recovery CD
by Mark A. Hershberger (weblog)
Solaris, unlike some other Operating Systems, does not ship with a method for creating bootable recovery media. The following procedure is one that I’ve been able to devise after searching for more help on the matter.

In documenting this process, I will first show you how to create a bootable recovery disk. Once that is successful, I’ll describe how to create a bootable CDROM.

Slice 1 – the driver for the recovery
The partition we are going to build is a bit large – 200MB. You could make it smaller by squeezing stuff out, but it is fine for our purposes since the recovery image is generally quite small (less than 100MB for the core install).
