cstm Harware Erorr

[HP UNIX Professionals]

Hi Experts,

When I checked the Hardware Status of the HPUNIX box by CSTM, I got the status of the hardware incomplete


CSMM>map

45 0/5/0/0 PCI 100 BaseT LAN Interfa Verify Incomplete


Then I checked the info log I got the following message.

Anybody know the meaning of the following error log. Please help me.

I do not know about what any particular stm error means but usually refers to a trouble with the hardware. If you have a h/w support agreement, it is best of you call the provider and have them check the NIC in question. On the other hand, if this is an unused interface, you can wait and do the repair alongside another maintenance. Not all hardware failures need immediate attention.

hi,

i've seen similar errors on lan cards that have no network cable attached or are not configured in the system? is this one?

as well as verifying the hardware interface it looks to see if it is active?

but also your error log is from 2005? not a new error

does the network card actually work?
