1. Run the
arcconf getversion
command at a terminal window.
Assuming the newly installed HBA is the sole HBA installed in the system, the
output of the
arcconf getversion
command will display 1 adapter.
2. Review the output of the
arcconf getversion
command and do one of the
following:
■
If the output displays 1 adapter, the system has detected the HBA and you do
not need to perform any further action.
■
If the output displays 0 adapters, run the
/usr/sbin/devfsadm
command to
force the system to detect the HBA, and then continue to the next step.
3. Repeat Step 1 to confirm that the system has detected the HBA.
Best Practices For Switching Cables and

Switching a Cable From One Port To the Other
If you need to switch a cable from one port to the other port on the same HBA or on
the same JBOD, wait long enough after the initial cable pull for all the physical hard
drives to be removed from the displays of the graphical user interface (GUI) and
command-line interface (CLI). Waiting after the initial pull prevents the controller
from trying to remove drives at the same time as it is re-adding those same drives on
the other port. If no display is available, wait at least two minutes between pulling
the cable and reconnecting it to the other port.
