Hardware list

[rjpierson]

I have a couple of HP NC7170 dual nic cards, PCI-X, are they compatible with the RX6600 running HP_UX 11.31U. I would like to add them for a separate back up network to both our RX's.

If you have an account on HP's business support forums there is an rx6600 user service guide as well as install guide.

I've attached a support matrix that may be of some help.

I was trying to find out if the 7170's were supported for HP_UX, apparently not, everything but HP_UX. I'll have to see if the cards in our N classes are supported when we shut them down for good in a couple of weeks.

Got a supported nic matrix that made for interesting reading, along with the column with the pricing. The prices were a shock. Will need one for the next phase once the new netback gets up and running.
