Card lan ??

[castro_2]

I need to take the card on hp-ux, this card is not in use. I need to do something before or after to take the card?
Thanks

nothing, you can only remove ( rmsf specialfile ) the specialfile "ioscan -fnkClan" for determine witch is the file.

Assuming this is a lan card and you're absolutely sure it's not in use - just shut the machine down and remove it.

If it's not in use. You do not need to do or run anything before you take it out. Double check to make sure the LAN card is really not in use by running ..
# lanscan
If you have more than 1 LAN card installed it'll show you which one is "UP" and which one is "DOWN" (in the "Interface State") column. Once you know which one for sure, shutdown your system according to your local procedure and proceed.

Make sure the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf does not point to this card:
INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan1

Netstat -ir has no packets inbound/outbound. If thats the case you can remove that card with no adverse affect.

Hi Castro


I would suggest you do like this :


1. Identify the Lan Interface using lanscan

2. Disable teh same by editing /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

3.stop and restart the netwrok services

4. check whether the card has been diabled .

5. remove the device files.

5. Switch off the system

6. remove the card

7. boot the system

8. Check for the device files , run a ioscan again if ib doubt , re check using lanscan

ioscan -fnC lan

The card is a Base-TX 4 port
For exmaple
ifconfig lan10
ifconfig: no such interface

Thanks

it's correct if you don't use this card and it isin't configured.

So you can remove it and remove /dev/diag/lan10 /dev/ether10 /dev/lan10

with rmsf

hei castro you want to remove this card or you want to send message all day??

heheheh

you have all instruction in all previous post

p.s. (remenber to assign point, all people are working for you)

[Pete Randall]

Castro,

The A5506B is a 4port ethernet adapter - you have to be sure that all 4ports are unused before you can pull it out. Does this machine have another lan card that is being used? Are you not even connected to a network? If this is the only lan card, you can't pull it.

Pete

[castro_2]

The last one.
Yes I have another lan card.
To remove the card usr
rmsf -H 0/6/0/0/7/0

This commnad I have to use for the 4 cards??
0/6/0/0/4/0
0/6/0/0/5/0
0/6/0/0/6/0
0/6/0/0/7/0


Thanks

[Pete Randall]

Yes, all four ports are on that one card, so you would have to rmsf all four.

Pete

[Domenico_5]

castro rmsf is NOT NECESSARY, you can do only for a clean uninstall

[castro_2]

I remove the card
rmsf -H 0/6/0/0/4/0
rmsf -H 0/6/0/0/5/0
rmsf -H 0/6/0/0/6/0
rmsf -H 0/6/0/0/7/0

The special files dosen??t exit but when I do lanscan I still have been.
Thanks
