Fibre Channel installation issue

[Sandman!]

Most likely the td module has not been configured into the kernel as shown by the output of the lsdev cmd. You would need to configure td into the kernel regenerate the kernel and reboot.

~hope it helps

Hit the button prematurely. Could you post the output of the following cmd. It will tell whether the tachyon driver for A5158A Fibre Channel card has been configured into the kernel:

# kmsystem -q td

[Brian M Welch]

I think we're on the right track! Here's the output:
# kmsystem -q td
kmsystem: Invalid module, subsystem or driver name : td

[Sandman!]

Is the software for the Fibre Channel card installed? Post output of cmd below:

# swlist FibrChanl-00

[Brian M Welch]

Not there. Now, we have come full circle. I downloaded hpux__11.00_09141034.tgz from HP which is the driver, and it's required dependencies. I follow the instructions here: http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayInstallInfo.do?productNumber=A5158A

No dice. In SAM, under kernel config> configurable parms, # of tach adapters is set to 0. Under drivers, the drivers are there!
fcT1 Out Out Driver Static N/A Fi â
â â fcT1_cntl Out Out Driver Static N/A Fi â â
â â fcT1_fcp Out Out Driver Static N/A Fi â â
â â fcgsc_lan In In Driver Static N/A HP â â
â â fcp Out Out Driver Static N/A Fi â â
â â fcpmux Out Out Driver Static N/A HP â

Here's updated kmsystem output:
# kmsystem | grep -e 'td' -e 'fc' -e 'Module'
Module Configured Loadable
fc Y -
fcT1 N -
fcT1_cntl N -
fcT1_fcp N -
fc_arp Y -
fcgsc Y -
fcgsc_lan Y -
fcms N -
fcp N -
fcp_cdio N -
fcparray N -
fcpdev N -
fcpmux N -
netdiag1 Y -
ssrfc N -

Also, here's what we DO have in swlist:
# swlist -l product | grep -i fibre
FCMassStorage B.11.00 Fibre Channel Mass Storage
HSCFibreCh B.11.00 Fibre Channel/9000 Product
PHKL_19416 1.0 Fibre Channel Mass Storage Driver Patch
PHKL_23939 1.0 Fibre Channel Mass Storage Driver Patch
PHNE_15537 1.0 Fibre Channel cumulative patch

I guess the gist of what we need to know is based on what of the following needs to be added to the kernel and where do we get 'td' from>?

[Juan M Leon · Accepted solution]

Looking at your previous post does not seem to be installed.
Can you look in the /var/adm/sw/swinstall.log and swagentd.log file to check for any errors in the software installation.

That will help yuo to find out what happened with the install.

[Juan M Leon]

BTW the td you get by issuing the following command
#-> lsdev | grep -e 'td' -e 'Class' -e 'fc'



Note: would you mind to assing some points.
thanks

Shalom,

Check the server doc at http://docs.hp.com and see if the card is installed in a supported slot. Just because it fits does not mean it will work.

I'm not even sure the card is supported on that system. http://partsurfer.hp.com It probably is, this thread has had a lot of people look at it.

Juan, Here's the output of the lsdev command, and td shows up, albeit unknown.
$lsdev |grep -e 'td' -e 'Class' -e 'fc'
Character Block Driver Class
46 -1 netdiag1 unknown
142 -1 fcgsc_lan lan
143 -1 fcT1_cntl unknown
144 -1 fcp unknown
240 -1 td unknown

Additionally, we found this document, which should be helpful. http://www2.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en&admit=-1335382922+1190158866196+28353475&docId=emr_na-c00373977-1 I'll update the thread as more information is available, and I thank everyone for their input!
