Upgrade K200 -> K370 and X.25

[Peter Jansen]

After HP has upgraded our K200 to an K370 system (running HP-UX 10.20) the HP-PB X.25 card is no longer
detected. Re-installing the X.25 software offers no
solution (running the ioscan -fn command the card is
listed UNKNOWN and UNCLAIMED). Normally the class associated with this card should read psi and the driver should be nioxb.

Does anybody else ever encountered this problem and can offer a solution ?

Best regards,

Have you been in sam to re-configure it?

Hello Berlene,

Thanks for your response.

Yes, we have been in SAM. SAM shows no X.25 interface card at the Network Interfaces section, so configuration is not possible!

Looks like the problem occured after the upgrade. You can try the following :-

1) check the kernel , using sam , to see if you see the driver nioxb listed and the state is IN.
2) Did the CE run HP-PB re-mapping script ( part of the upgrade )? This script also recreates the /stand/ioconfig and /etc/ioconfig files . You can try rebooting the machine in maintenance mode and manually runing "ioinit -c" to recreate ioconfig.
3) Last but not the least , it could be that the card needs a resitting or a replacement . This could be a possible reason because in order to do the upgrade all the cards have to be removed in order to access the backplane.

Good luck !

Thanks all,

Problem seems to be resolved running the ioinit command!

Thans for your response
