Ok guys.... Intialy I pull the power to reset the system.... Iplug in the ethernet cable and put in the power cable. Both LED come on. Then when the system is booted and the os is booted than the leds go off...... I run ioscan its there and lanscan and sees only the internal lan eth0...

lights both coming on at power up only means that your card is getting power. you need to install drivers for your system to recognize the network adapter. Without server type and network interface product number, it is impossible to tell you if your combination is compatible to each other. If they are compatible, you will need to dig up your HP applications media to find the right software to install the drivers.

can you check /etc/rc.log for any errors and also check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log.

It looks like you got bad NIC

You may have to talk to HP.

Just a thought.

Pull out network cable and reboot it. Once it comes up, run ioscan -fnClan and see if you can see the NIC.

If you see it then run insf -e and then again ioscan -fnClan and check if it shows 2 lan devices?

If you know what is the model and type of NIC then you can search in HP website.

Joe_Flow_1 — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 18:13:26 GMT

Do they keep up to date drivers for HP-UX for non hp nic cards?

You can search but not sure for non-hp.
