fibre cards not loading. need drivers?

j duquette — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 18:34:12 GMT

I have performed an ignite tape recovery from one rp3440 to another rp3440 (hpux 11.11b).

I don't see and device files for fc at all.
Perhaps I need to load new drivers? If so, how do I identify which ones and where to get them?

Any help appreciated. thx/jd

ioscan -fnC fc

The FC HBA should have the product number on the metal bracket where the fiber port is. If not you need to open the server up and look at the product number. Or just go ahead and install another fiber driverand see if the fc cards bind to it.

This should be in the install media
