Hi,

What's the correct interface to finding out hardware information on a 
s10/opensolaris system? I've seen hardware type information in prtdiag, 
smbios, kstat, iostat -En, modinfo, cfgadm and by combing the device 
tree. Say for instance I want to know if a cdrom is device blah on a 
system or how do I know what it's named, if the kernel knows it's 
present, has attached a driver if necessary and is usable to Solaris?

If I wanted to check if an crypto card is present, I'd check if the 
device was seen in the device tree, the kernel module was loaded in 
Solaris and check kstat, run cfgadm and prtdiag to also see the card and 
has no errors. Is there something I'm missing, is there something easier 
to use? Also what about SNMP mibs?

Thanks,
~~sa
