cant see lancard

I have a lancard in a server i can't see!
I can only see the build in BTLAN:
# ioscan -funC 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

The server is a N-Class installed with 11.00. I would think i need to install something.
The server has been booted!

Re: cant see lancard

If its an other lancard then the btlan3 you would probable need to install it's driver.
If you can figure out the harware address of it's slot that the lancard is installed in you can try to query on that using ioscan:

ioscan -fncH 1/12/0.... (fill in you own hardware address)

Re: cant see lancard

Hi,

How many LAN Cards you have in server ?

you have to configure driver for LAN card in kernel.

anyway one lan port whihc is on core i/o is already configured you can use it.

Re: cant see lancard

If you leave away -C lan from your ioscan command then you should at least see _something_... what type of interface is it?

I would guess you need to install:

J4253AA B.11.00.05 100BT/9000 PCI

It's on the application CDs (DART).

Re: cant see lancard

Hmm... looks like the B5509BA is supposed to be installed in workstations only. However, it also uses the btlan5 driver, which is in the J4253AA bundle also.

Re: cant see lancard

Change the pci slot that you plugged into.

Boot the system

Install all the appropriate software listed above

run the command insf -e

verify that the driver is in /etc/system

If not, add it and rebuild the kernel
mk_kernel
kmupdate

reboot

Good Luck
