K250 lan card changed to scsi not being recognized

[Craig A. Sharp]

This past weekend, I had to swap a single height lan card for a full height FWD scsi card in our K250. The swap went just fine except now when I do an ioscan, this is what I get:

lan 0 10/4/4 btlan1 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN HP 28696A - Fast/Wide SCSI Interface

I do have another identical lan board installed in the system so I need the btlan1 driver. How do I solve this problem so that I can use the scsi board.

Thanks,

Hi,

for the HP 28696A - Fast/Wide SCSI Interface
you need the driver

scsi3

Check this in your kernel configuration.

Andreas,

Thanks for the information. I will check that the driver is installed. Will that take care of the system showing that it is a lan. It is currently showing this due to there being a lan card origionally in that slot.

Thanks,

One of the important steps overlooked by sysadmins is that removing hardware does require active steps to inform the kernel, specifically using rmsf to remove the device files and entries in the I/O map file used by the kernel. Use rmsf -H 1/2/3.4.5.6 (substitute your hardware path) to remove any device files and hardware references from the kernel, then add the appropriate driver and reboot. The card should be recognized and the required device files built automatically.

In the case of the above listing, do I use just the 10/4/4 for the hardware path as the lan card no longer exists?

Thanks,

Craig

Well, that worked. I am able to now see the drives that are attached to the card. One problem though, the drives are showing unclaimed / unknown with a class of unknown.
