DeviceTool Project Page


DeviceTool is a program for the Solaris operating system which helps administrators in gathering information about disks, tape drives and network cards. It is capable of mapping Solaris names to OpenBoot names and vice versa and can traverse the hardware tree. Furthermore, walking the device tree for diagnostic purposes is possible.

Listing of all devices

In this view every device node is listed among its sources. The data is collected from the following sources:

If a device node is available from all three source it is actually usable. Nodes only available through /etc/path_to_inst are historical. Chances are good the hardware is no longer connected to the machine or powered off on boot. Not all nodes must have a representation in the file system. Network interfaces for example are accessed via the clone driver and not via an individual file and therefore do not have one.
