command to add pci nic

[dave_218]

Howdy,

Could someone please give me the commands necessary to enable/configure a PCI network card?

Thanks in advance.

Details:

The card is labeled j3515a. The OS is 11.00.
The machine is a 9000/800.

Also, what would be the config file in /etc/rc.config.d/ if I wanted to hard code the duplex of the card?

Hi,

I think you need to install some additional software to enable the network card. Currently there is no device driver loaded in the kernel for this card. Did you receive any CD's with the lan-card?

Take a look here for installation and configuration information:
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/pdf/J3622-90010.pdf

Also be aware you may need patches for lanadmin to allow certain newer options to work.

your ioscan output show that:

S/W State: Unclaimed
H/W Type: Unknown

Therefore, you need to install the software for the network card.
- Run "swinstall -s /cdrom" to install the driver.
- Select the product of your NIC model for install. The install will require a reboot.
- Run "ioscan -fnC lan" to see whether network card is now CLAIMED.

Hi, you are lacking the proper driver in the kernel, the ones for "btlan4".


You can find them in the APPs CD.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Unfortunately I don't have any cd that has the desired network driver. I tried looking in the download section without much luck. Any ideas how I could get the driver?

Thanks.

Hi Dave

Had a look but can't find anywhere to download the driver - maybe someone else knows??

If you have any sets of HP 11.00 Application CD's you should find the product number J3515A on one of them.
I think the driver for J3515A is also on the Install CORE OS CD for HP-UX 11.00.

Other than that I'd call HP and ask them how to get the driver.

As regards your question for hardcoding duplex settings - for btlan4 the file is /etc/rc.config.d/hpgsc100conf.
Minor point J3515A is a HSC card - not sure why ioscan reports PCI.

Cheers
Con

Thanks for the info Con.
I was hoping to be able to download the driver somewhere... Guess I will have to find way to track down a CD. I will put all the info I gathered to good use.

Thx D
