Great. Okay, so I've got a platmod that seems to work, and I've got
stuff to add to the following packages:
SUNWcakr.u
SUNWcar.u
SUNWkvm.u
SUNWhea
Essentially all this does is set up the /platform and /usr/platform
links, and populate an initial platmod and ppm.conf file. (From
uts/sun4u/viper.) Here's the system info for this system:
# uname -a
SunOS bullfrog 5.11 snv_44 sun4u sparc TAD,Viper
There will be future stuff we want to add (primarily for power
management), but we can do that as a separate case. For now I think my
code is pretty much ready to go.
I'm in the process of trying to make sure our company has an SCA in place.
What else do I need to do to make this happen? (I.e. what is the next
step?)
