ioscan -funC fc shows nothing, but i see the fc card

[f. halili]

I got involved in hosts that have been previously managed. I did an "ioscan -funC fc" and it did not return anything. The host is an rp3440. Is there a fiber card that is not of type fc?

[Ron Irving]

Hi!!

# ioscan -funC fc

should give you an output something like this:

Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
===================================================================
fc 0 0/0/10/1/0 td CLAIMED INTERFACE HP Tachyon XL2 Fibre Chan
nel Mass Storage Adapter
/dev/td0
fc 1 1/0/8/1/0 td CLAIMED INTERFACE HP Tachyon XL2 Fibre Chan
nel Mass Storage Adapter
/dev/td1

If not, then you do not have a fiber card installed.

The way I see it anyway...

Oh...I read it again. How do you 'see' the fc card? If you can physically eyeball it, it should have a part # stamped on it. Could you please post that?

And, can you post the output of # ioscan -fn

That gives everything but the kitchen sink.

Hi,

>>>Is there a fiber card that is not of type fc? <<<

I don't think so.

If you have doubt still, check everything with

#ioscan -fn |more

Hi again,

forgot to add...

>>>ioscan -funC fc shows nothing, but i see the fc card <<<<

The card which you seen, is it working? It might not have been installed(driver may not be installed) or failed one.

on the physical card i see "PCI-X Single Port 1000 Base-SX Adapter. That's the one with the FC cable on it.

the ioscan -fnk shows:

lan 2 0/3/1/0 iether CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AD332-60001 PCI/PCI-X 1000Base-SX Adapter

lan 1 0/4/1/0 iether CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AD332-60001 PCI/PCI-X 1000Base-SX Adapter

thanks,

>>on the physical card i see "PCI-X Single Port 1000 Base-SX Adapter.

That's Gigabit network card.

>>That's the one with the FC cable on it.

I seriously doubt that. There should be nothing more than a Cat-5e or Cat-6 network cable plugged in.

[f. halili]

that's what what on the machine now. it has the orange fc cable on it and the port thtat it has is an FC port. The the description I wrote earlier, is stamped on the metal piece of the card.

????

Here's the full ioscan -fnk. Let me know if something stands out as a device that would be used as an FC card. Thanks.

The AD332 is a Gigabit NETWORK card that uses a FIBRE cable to attach to the switch.

This is **NOT** a Fibre Channel card that you would use to access a SAN.
