How do I determine which device files reference which HP-PB card?

I recently installed two new HP-PB cards into my K460 box. However, it was in
the wee hours of the morning and like a complete idiot...I did not take notice
of what device files were already there. Obviously, when the system rebooted,
it added device files to support my new cards, however, I am unsure which files
these are. Does anyone know how to determine this?

Thanks in advance.

The HP-PB cards themselves will not have device files.
If you want to see where they are, do an ioscan -fn, and look for the devices
labelled 28696A, ethese are the HP-PB F&W cards.
The only device files you will see are those of any devices attached to these
cards.

Generally though if you want to find the device file names of a device, you can
do something like this

ioscan -fnH

replace with the hardware path of the device

You can also use the "lssf" command to determine what the device file is for.

If you open the back door of the server you will see a hardware listing on the
right side of the unit. This will give the hardware addressing of the system.
You may see 10/4/16 as a hardware path for a HP-PB NIC. If you find you cannot
see the cards you added, it may be because the slots you installed double high
cards i.e. F/W SCSI controller require you to buy a bus converter chip. This is
for a K-class server.
