List the physical path of the originating HBA port from which you can see the destination HBA
port, where originating-hba-link is a variable for the link determined in Step 2.
# ls -l /dev/fc/fp originating-hba-link
In the following example, 0 is the number for the originating-hba-link:
# ls -l /dev/fc/fp 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 Sep 4 08:23 /dev/fc/fp0 ->
../../devices/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@1/fp@0,0:devctl
Search the physical path identied in Step 3.
You must remove the leading ../../devices from the path name output. For example
# grep pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@1/fp@0,0 /etc/path_to_inst
"/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@1/fp@0,0" 0 "fp"
Determine the fp instance for the originating HBA port from the output of the command in Step
4.
The instance number precedes “fp” in the output. In the following example output, the instance
number is 0.
"/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@1/fp@0,0" 0 "fp"
Use the instance number from Step 5 to load IPFC and plumb the IPFC interface.
In this example, the instance is 0.
# ifconfig fcip 0 plumb
Invoking and Conguring IPFC
Immediately upon installation, start IPFC manually with the ifconfig command. You can
congure the host so that on subsequent reboot, the IPFC network interface starts
automatically. This section describes the procedures to start a network interface manually and
to congure the host for automatic plumbing upon reboot.

To Start a Network Interface Manually
Use this procedure when you want to plumb IPFC with specic netmask values and get the
IPFC interface up and running.
