HP HSC 100Base-TX Prototype card

[Pål Torp]

Hi. I have HP HSC 100Base-TX Prototype card on a server and want it to run 100FD.

the iocan claims btlan4-driver and the config file should therefor be /etc/rc.config.d/hpgsc100conf.
ux-03b:/sbin/init.d #cat /etc/rc.config.d/hpgsc100conf
HP_GSC100_INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan1
HP_GSC100_STATION_ADDRESS[0]=
HP_GSC100_SPEED[0]=100FD

HP_GSC100_INTERFACE_NAME[l]=lan0
HP_GSC100_STATION_ADDRESS[1]=
HP_GSC100_SPEED[1]=100FD

HP_GSC100_INIT_ARGS="HP_GSC100_STATION_ADDRESS HP_GSC100_DUPLEX"

.......

When I start the script (ux-03b:/sbin/init.d #/sbin/rc2.d/S323hpbase100 start), manually i get this error message:
No 100BT device configured in system (btlan3).


Why is that?

Here is a my ioscan -fnkClan
ux-03b:/sbin/init.d #ioscan -fnkClan

I believe the start script you want is:

/sbin/init.d/hpgsc100 start

Do not forget to set the switch/hub/... at the same speed as the netwrk interface (auto negotiate is often not a very good setting).

cheers,

Tnx folks, but i cant find the /sbin/init.d/hpgsc100 script. (Not even under newconfig.)

when i Try :
ux-03b:/usr/newconfig/etc/rc.config.d #lanadmin -x 0
Error: This option is not supported for this hardware.

Is there a patch 4 that?

Hmmm, strange. What 100baseT driver software have you installed?

What output does the following command provide?

# swlist -l file | grep hpgsc100

Steve

Well. I found error in lanadmin too. Files belonging to btlan4 was missing.

I'll reinstall the J3514A drivers.

Hope that will do it.

I assume you'r running on
HP-UX 11.x because the
lanadmin -x 0 returned with
error. 0 is equal to the card
instance number you see in
the output from the ioscan.
(Also called PPAid)
10.20 however, use NMID to
address the card.
If you type an NMID or PPAid
that don't exist, lanadmin
returns with nothing.
If the driver assigned to the
card is lan2 the message
you got from lanadmin is normal. (You can't play with
speed/duplex on lan2 driver)
You can check your PPA or NMID
by running lanscan.
What concern me is that your
/sbin/init.d/hpgsc100 startup
file is missing. You obviousely haveing the btlan4
driver in, but check with
swlist -l fileset -a state |grep "100BT-GSC" and check
that all filesets are in configured state.
If you do not have the latest
HPGSC100 patch, the patchname
is PHNE_25579

Good Luck!

After installing the drivers (J3514A) all over again the problem was solved.

The ioscan gave me another description of the card though, but the /sbin/rc2.d files read the link I made manually and the /sbin/hpgsc100 file I copied.

Tnx everyone.
Takk Herr Gjestvang p?? HP.

You forgot to assign points!
Give me an N/A but you ought to give the people who helped you their points.

[Pål Torp]

Ok. Sorry folks.
I'll give you points!
