fibre channel card on HP Unix 11.00

[Vincent_5]

Hi,
Can someone please advice, I'm trying to install a HSC fibre channel card on to a D-Class Server. The part number of the card is A3591B. I have gone through sam kernel parameter and found that the respective drivers are not present, ( fcT1_fcp, fcT1_cntl,
fcT1,fcp,fcpmux)And I also check on the kernel configurable parameter that the option for num_tachyon_adapters are not present. Please help ???

Have a look at the following document in the TKB, hopefully it will help you.

You need to install the FCMS software and the software driver for your card.
These should be avavilable on the Applications CD for your system.

Hi,
Thanks for the info, but as I have mention before, I cannot find the driver or the software for the fibre channel card part no : A3591B on the HP UX version 11.00 application CD at all. The date of the application CD I have is dated December 2000. Please advice.

Regards
Vincent

You do not say what version of HP-UX you are on, but if it is 11.00 then the drivers are now on the Core OS media. For 10.20 you will need to look for the product J3630BA on the Application CD. You may also need the J1602AA FCMS software installed.

Hi,

The filesets you require are on the CORE/OS
CD. Try looking in swremove under 'HPUXEng64RT'
this will show you the software if it installed,
if not run swinstall and the filesets should
listed under there.

You need to set the num_tachyon_adapters
kernel parameter to the number of fibre
channel cards installed on your system.

There is also a patch that you should install,
and that is PHKL_21834.

After installing everything, your ioscan should
look something like below.
