Description
The sata, ib and usb cfgadm plugins generate output noise when an unknown option is provided to cfgadm -l, for example:
omni# cfgadm -l -o test sata3/0 cfga_msg: NULL msgp cfga_msg: NULL msgp cfga_msg: NULL msgp cfga_msg: NULL msgp cfga_msg: NULL msgp cfga_msg: NULL msgp cfga_msg: NULL msgp cfga_msg: NULL msgp cfga_msg: NULL msgp cfga_msg: NULL msgp cfga_msg: NULL msgp cfgadm: Hardware specific failure: Hardware specific option not supported zsh: exit 1 cfgadm -l -o test sata3/0
or a real world case:
# cfgadm -al -o show_FCP_dev cfga_msg: NULL msgp cfga_msg: NULL msgp ... repeated many times ... cfga_msg: NULL msgp cfga_msg: NULL msgp Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition c3 fc connected unconfigured unknown c4 fc connected unconfigured unknown
This is because the modules call `cfga_help(NULL, ...)` which never succeeds as a NULL first argument is not supported. Other plugins such as scsi do not do this.
