ioscan -funC fc shows nothing, but i see the fc card

[Ganesan R]

Hi,

I also go with Patrick. It is a lan card which uses fibre connection to connect to the switch. Look at the ioscan output and see the class field(the first field) and the driver field(fourth field)

>>>
lan 2 0/3/1/0 iether CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AD332-60001 PCI/PCI-X 1000Base-SX Adapter

lan 1 0/4/1/0 iether CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AD332-60001 PCI/PCI-X 1000Base-SX Adapter
>>>

Since class of these devices is lan, it should not list in #ioscan -fnC fc. but it should be listed in #ioscan -fnC lan

fc class devices will have the driver of "td"

Hope this clarify your doubts..

And the key in the card description itself is:

"1000Base-SX".

A 'Base-SX' card uses fibre connections.

A 'Base-T' card uses regular LAN cable (Cat 5/5e/6) connections.

I was slightly confused in my first response. Sorry about that!

A lan card which uses fibre connection. Thanks for clarifying.
