new network card on hpux

[Shivkumar]

Dear Sirs;

After adding a new network card; how to enable it ?

Thanks,
Shiv

Hi,

Be sure that the new card is recognized by running:
# ioscan -fnC lan

If it's shown as CLAIMED, you can then configure it using SAM.

It should be active and CLAIMED when the system comes up after boot.

Pay close attention to where you insert the card. There are slots on some servers where you CAN insert a card, but if its labeled No Slot or similar, putting a card in can make your system fail to boot.

Most newer servers are PCI. You should only used approved hardware, but I bet you did that.

Good Luck,

SEP

Hi Shiv

1. Make sure there is appropriate driver for the card installed in the system. This can be checked as per following:

#ioscan -fn should show the card as CLAIMED or else driver needs to be installed. Driver will be generally available on application CDs.

2. Use SAM to configure the card.

3. #lanscan should show the status of card

Hi Shiv ,


Check the driver is installed properly:

# lsdev -d btlan3

You can check with this also:
# lsdev -C lan
# ls -l /dev/lanX
check the major against the lsdev output to confirm your netowrk card driver .

Cheers,
Raj.

Hi,

1. See all lan devices on system.

#ioscan -fnC lan

2. See allready configured lan interfaces

#lanscan or lanscan -q

or
#cat /etc/rc.config.d/netconf|grep -i INTERFACE_NAME

3. Add another entries in the same file for new card in similar format. Also put new entry in /etc/hosts file.

All these things can be done with SAM as well easily.

HTH,

hi,

in SAM, any unconfigured cards will look as follows:

Network Interface Cards 0 of 6 selected¦
¦------------------------------------------------------------------------------¦
¦ Card Interface Hardware Interne ¦
¦ Type Name Path Status Address ¦
¦+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ¦
¦¦ Fast Ethernet lan2 0/2/0/0/5/0 Not Configured 0.0.0.0 ¦
¦¦ Fast Ethernet lan3 0/2/0/0/6/0 Not Configured 0.0.0.0 ¦
¦¦ Fast Ethernet lan4 0/2/0/0/7/0 Not Configured 0.0.0.0 ¦



you can then configure the IP addresses accordingly.

Shiv,

Use sam --> Networking and Communications -->Network Interface Cards and look for the new card. You can configure easily with SAM.
