D310, J3515A NIC installed, not showing up

[Matt Hearn]

I just installed a J3515A NIC in my ancient D310 system; it's running HP-UX 11.0 (11i doesn't work with our firewall software, unfortunately).

The NIC isn't showing up in ioscans; is there something I'm missing? An application or patch I need to install?

Thanks!!

Are there any lights on the card, when you look at it in the back of the machine? If there are no lights it could be dead or improperly installed.

The driver should be available on the Core OS CD for 11.00. The directory should be named similar to the NIC.

Insert the cd

mount /cdrom

swinstall -i -s /cdrom

You should be able to find it.

Yeah, if I plug a network connection in, I get link lights. I just found it odd that the card wouldn't even show up in the ioscan. Do you have to have the driver in place before that will happen? I think I need the btlan4 driver.

Hi,

It seems you are missing the drivers.

can you install QPK bundle patches from recent support plus media or you can also download from this site

Matt,

Did you reboot after you installed the card? If not, did you run insf -e to install the device files? Do you have the 100Base/T software loaded?

The lan drivers you need are on the Core OS cd.

They may also be able to be found at http://software.hp.com

If you follow the instructions in my original post, you should be able to get it working.

It is not uncommon for hardware to be invisible without the drivers installed. The card could be dead, but more likely just install the driver.

Hi,

first you pls check the card properly fixed

Then you boot the system and check in the

ioscan -fnC lan output

it is listing or not

if it is listing and showing UNCLAIM

then you install the driver for it and reboot the system again check with the same command

and also try that lan card fix to in some other slot if there is free

Thanx

On a D310 with a J3515A, you'd install J3623BA from the application cds, use the btlan4 driver.
\
If the card doesn't show up in ioscan at all, you have a hardware issue with the card.
\
If it shows up but is unclaimed/unknown, you need to load the driver from the application cds.
\
You will also need to apply the appropriate patches: PHNE_25579 and all its dependencies.
