card PCI (j3592A) onn server HP9000/L1000

[BRAHIM KHOUDIR]

i have HP9000/L1000 with a card PCI MUX 8 PORT (J3592A)
when i want to declare a terminal on my card with a port a3 (for exapmle)using SAM
i recevied from a system the following message :
/usr/sam/lbin/mkterm.sh a3 the specified number is not valid for this command

I believe you require the SAM patch PHCO_21187 to fix the PCI MUX problem.
This contains the superseded patch PHCO_13249, and is in the patch text stating that the incorrect mkterm.sh fiel was included in the 11.0 release

Just in case the patch does not the trick:
Search in the /usr/sam/lbin/mkterm.sh for the following lines:
if [ $port -eq 0 ]

and replace them with:
if [ $port = "0" ]

(A string compare as opposed to a numeric compare can work for both string values of ports such as "a3", as well as numeric values of ports such as "3".)
