4 port LAN card config.

[Andy Macleod]

I have a 4 port lan card unconfigured.

ioscan -fnC lan
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
=========================================================================
lan 0 0/0/0/0 btlan3 CLAIMED INTERFACE HP PCI 10/100Base-TX Core
/dev/diag/lan0 /dev/ether0
lan 1 0/10/0/0/4/0 btlan UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN PCI Ethernet (10110019)
lan 2 0/10/0/0/5/0 btlan UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN PCI Ethernet (10110019)

lan 4 0/10/0/0/7/0 btlan UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN PCI Ethernet (10110019)

Can somone confirm to get these claimed I need to install A5506B and patch it with PHNE_26271.

Next question where do I get A5506B from ?

Cheers

Andy, if you still have your application CD's around you can get A5506B from there. As for patches, I always recommend using the custom patch manager to get the latest recommended patches for EVERYTHING.

Andy,

A5506B seems to be the NIC itself (i.e. 4Port 100baseTX Ethernet LAN Adapter). Are you referring to the APA software perhaps?

yea, the B is for 64 bit kernels and the A for 32 bit kernels..
I got it on a sd-ux depot server on an internal hp site, so can't tell you where it first came from!!
Most likely one of the Apps CDs.

Later,
Bill

Cheers Harry I found A5506 A and B on disk 1 of the app SW disk.

Pete, I'm just trying to get them configured (claimed) so I can stick a router in one of them and add a route to go out over it.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Cheers
Andy

but in the instructions in the depot, after you run the create_depot_hp-ux_11 and the /tmp/patches/depot has been created and I've installed them, it doesnt mention if I can the delete the /tmp/patches/depot file structure.

Can this be deleted ?

If you have finished doing hte install, and are happy with it, then remove it by all means. It will not be used for anything else, so you can do this in safety.
p.s. you could also assign Harry some points for his help
