A5158A FC card shows as A6684A

[Michael Tully]

Hi all,
Haven't been around for a while, so I hope everybody is healthy and happy. (Still being brainwashed by AIX unfortunately)

A500 HPUX 11.00
Seems that my FC card (A5158A) shows as an older model card (A6684A)

Seems to me to probably point to a driver problem. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I guess try uninstalling the A5158A product and try the never version which is B.11.00.10 and see if that helps.

Sorry to take so long to get back to this, but the solution was to install the latest diagnostics onto the host. The loading of the driver did not do the trick.

OnlineDiag B.11.00.27.18 HPUX 11.00 Support Tools Bundle, Mar 2004

There were also some addtional patches loaded that did not help.
