How to configure PCI 10/100-tx card,

[Sachin Patel]

Hi All,
We have added PCI 10/100 tx card on
HP-UX B.11.00 A 9000/780
We install B5509BA.

# ioscan -funClan
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
========================================================================
lan 2 8/0/3/0 btlan5 CLAIMED INTERFACE PCI Ethernet (10110019)
lan 0 8/16/6 lan2 CLAIMED INTERFACE Built-in LAN

lan 1 8/20/5/1 vglan0 CLAIMED INTERFACE EISA card HWP1990
/dev/diag/ether1 /dev/diag/lan1 /dev/ether1 /dev/lan1

No driver for btlan3?

Form lanadmin
lan0 = inbuilt lan
lan1 = vg
lan2 = 10/100 PCI

syslog has this error
Apr 19 12:47:26 eagle vmunix: btlan5: reset state is 300 at 8/0/3/0....
Apr 19 12:47:26 eagle vmunix: btlan5: WARNING: MII Loopback Failed at 8/0/3/0....

I have reboot the system already, run insf.

What is wrong?

Try

ioscan
insf -e
insf -e
insf -e

Then check again

[Sachin Patel]

Sorry,
I mean to say

No driver for btlan5

Hello Sachin,
Your btlan5 driver looks as though it is loaded in the kernel, as your ioscan output shows claimed, with a description... otherwise you would see UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN.

As to the "MII Loopback Failed" failed messages, I would apply the appropriate patches, PHNE_25580, with dependencies.

Hi Sachin,

Did you apply the patches too ? Which model of workstation are you using ?

I also sugjest running a linkloop on the card.
Reset your card in sam, Check your cables, make sure auto-negotiate is set to off, etc...

Hi,

Last month I had this same problem on two of my L boxes.(oops .. now its 's some thing rp####!!) but this was for inbuilt cards.

I cahnged the settings to 100mbps FD Autoneg off. both at server and on corresponding switch port and then bounce the box. This fixed the problem. I don't really know this would help your problem.

Goodluck,
-USA..

Hi
insf -e (3 time didn't work)

hi Berlene & Shiju I have not install any patch, because I have install software B5509BA from Dec-2001 cd's. I am under impression that it has all latest patch.

i try to install PHNE_14632 but it fails because other supershead patch is already install.

Sorry, I sometimes find myself having to do the insf -e three times thing when working with EMC HBA's. Dont know why it works. Just trying to help.

[Helen French]

Hi Sachin:

Check for another patch - PHNE_17113 in the workstation. Also you should not normally need to manually configure the speed, autonegotiation or duplex mode of the card. If your switch does not support autonegotiation but is set to full-duplex mode, there may be a mismatch between the card and the switch, because the card defaults to half-duplex for switches that do not support autonegotiation. You can determine what the card is set to by using lanadmin -x and reset it if necessary using lanadmin -X.

HTH,
Shiju

Uday, How can I set anything when card is not even recognize?

Shiju, I think I have to install some patches. I can't do it now because system is up in production. I will do it next time when it goes down.

lanadmin fails
ifconfig fails
# ifconfig lan2
ifconfig: no such interface

I think I need patch and break.

I will let you guys know what is going to be a solution.

I suspect one of two things:

1 - The card is not seated all the way in its slot and/or the cable is bad.

2 - The card is defective.
