A3519B tachyon drivers

[Simon Wickham_8]

Dear All,

I am running hp-ux 11.11 on an R class hp9000 which has a A3519B tachyon fiber card which appears to be present. The issue is when I look at the back of the unit the link light is flashing green meaning the driver is not present.

I have ran verify through mstm and it appears to be successful so the card is there on hardware address 10/12 so the map has been updated. When I look at the drivers in the kernel these are present and as this is an old card they are fcms1 rather than the tdx on new cards.

The driver is in place and I issue a fcmsutil on the device fcms1 which states the device as DEAD. The card is claimed when I do an ioscan so it has to be down to the drivers can anyone advise me which drivers I need as I am unable to find even on the itrc.

Regards,
Simon

ioscan -fnC ctl

See it its there and claimed.

Physically inspect the thing and make sure the device lights are on and the cables are good.

You can try and use xstm or mstm or cstm to test the device more thoroughly. It can be present and non-functional and xstm will how it red if its useless and needs to be replaced.

Thanks for getting back to me but I said in my original message that when I run mstm it verifies as successful and the same with xstm the device is seen.

What does ioscan -fnC ctl show me as I see 4 disk which I would think are the 4 in the FC10 disk enclosure.

How does one et the device to work as the o/p from fcmsutil shows dead.

Hi Simon,

I don't think ctl is the proper class - try:

ioscan -fnC fc

Does that return CLAIMED for HW addr 10/12?

Rgds,

Hi Simon,

here is a good documentation regarding your adapter card:

http://docs.hp.com/en/J6374-90018/index.html

The flashing LED means, the connection is not configured.
What kind of device you want to connect?

[Steven E. Protter]

1) Jeff is right, I meant to type fc
2) Do the physical inspection, check lights.
3) Check with SAN admin and make sure LUN's have been assigned to the cards WWN world wide name. Every time you add new cards and change names the LUNS need to be updatedl.

Hi,

When I run the fcmsutil on /dev/fcms1 I get the LUN's that have been assigned to the cards WWN world wide name.

# /opt/fcms/bin/fcmsutil /dev/fcms1

Local N_Port_ID is = 0x000000
N_Port Node World Wide Name = 0x10000060B03E7274
N_Port Port World Wide Name = 0x10000060B03E7274
Topology = UNKNOWN
Speed = 1062500000 (bps)
HPA of card = 0xFBF0C000
EIM of card = 0xFFFA200A
Driver state = DEAD
Number of EDB's in use = 0
Number of OIB's in use = 1
Number of Active Outbound Exchanges = 0
Number of Active Login Sessions = 0


But the device still shows DEAD for the driver state, what I need now is to know what driver I need as the drivers on the core os and bundle do not work.

Note the card is a A3519B FC so this is the key.

Regards,
Simon

Well - the driver would probably be FibrChanl-01 (fcd) & the most current is B.11.11.05 and is included in the HP-UX 11i v1 March 2005 release.
But you can probably pick it up at www.software.hp.com as well, I'm sure.

And I believe you have an incorrect model number here.
It should be A3591B - not A3519B. The latter is not a valid model number. But the former is an HSC fiber channel adapter - part # A3395-60001
Note also the partsurfer is showing part # A3395-60102, described as HSC FC 1063 SW Adapter for D-class.
I wonder if you might also need this for proper operation.

My 2 cents,
Jeff
