This case amends the VIO MD nodes as defined in FWARC/2006/072. This case will be approved for minor/micro/patch OS binding and minor/micro binding for the firmware All of the changes are highlighted in the updated document which can be found at, http://sac.sfbay.sun.com/arc/FWARC/2007/122/materials/vio-md-nodes-v3.pdf The brief description of the changes are, 1. Section 5.1.3, virtual-device class table (channel devices). Add following three rows/entries. Service Class compatible device-type name Group ========================================================================= Serial Client SUNW,sun4v-channel serial virtual-channel- client Serial Server SUNW,sun4v-data-plane-channel serial virtual-data-plane- channel Serial Client SUNW,sun4v-data-plane-channel serial virtual-data-plane- channel-client Notes: the virtual-channel-client was missing from the earlier version of the document. It should have been there in the first place. This case corrects that. virtual-data-plane-channel and virtual-data-plane-channel-client are needed to support Netra products. These products rely on the low-level channel services, but have different driver implementation and loading needs. They also have both Solaris and non-Solaris drivers (one for each end of the channel) on these platforms. 2. Section 5.1.4, Device class specific properties table Add followings. Name Tag Required Description vds-block-device-opts PROP_DATA no An array of string names identifying the options for the device used by a vds-port in SUNW,sun4v-disk-server device. Current valid options are: “ro” - The device is used and exported by vds as a read-only device “slice” - The device is exported by vds as a disk slice. vdpc-svc-name PROP_STR no A string name specifying the service SUNW,sun4v-data-plane-channel or SUNW,sun4v-data-plane-channel-client is providing over this port 3. Section 5.1.4, virtual-device-port class table Added a column to describe the name of parent virtual-device node for clarity. And add followings. Service Group Class name name of parent virtual-device node Serial Client vldc-port virtual-channel-client Serial Server vdpc-port virtual-data-plane-channel Serial Client vdpc-port virtual-data-plane-channel-client -- Hitendra Zhangada ============================================= SPS Common SW Features Engineering Systems Group, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
