B132L System Disk to the Other B132L Cannot Detect LAN Card

Yan, SY FUNG — Tue, 19 Oct 2004 22:14:04 GMT

I got a B132L installed with HPUX-10.20 down and moved the system disk to another B132L. The system booted up. However, stuck at [NFS Client].

It seems cannot detect the built-in LAN because "ifconfig lan0" shew nothing except loopback interface.

Thanks in advance if anybody can drop me some suggestion.

Besides install the OS properly and/or restore the system from an Ignite image of the first hard disk?

The network configuration and or drivers for at least the network card is wrong for this disk in the new system.

Just because its the same system type doesn't mean the hardware instance numbers are the same.

I'd boot to single user mode and insf -ve at the very least. You may need to do a full hardware instance renumber which is contained in this post.

Hi,

Post your 'lanscan' output. Run 'ioscan -f > /tmp/ioscan.out'. Look at the file and see if you have any devices that say "UNKNOWN" or "UNCLAIMED". In that case, you probably may have to reinstall the drivers using your Application CDs.

Thanks Steven and Sridharfor your kindly replies!

It is my fault to put the disk in a B132L+ instead of a B132L.

Now the network card works fine at the latter. Anyway, I have to do some more system tuning.
