J3623BA on my D280

[Darryl Hoar]

Greetings,
My D280 has 11.00 installed on it. It has
a J3516A 100BT card in it, but the driver was never installed. I can't locate my 11.00 disks but have my hp-ux 11i disks. Can I install the driver from hp-ux 11i disks onto my D280 running 11.00 and have it work?

thanks
Darryl

Yes you can, it should be in the 1st application CD. As long as the part number for the driver software is J3623BA you can install it.

[Darryl Hoar]

Well,
I checked my application cds for 11i (all 3
of them), I also checked my core cds (2 of them) and didn't see the J3623BA software.

These cd's are from HP for my machine and its configuration. What gives?

thanks again.

[S.K. Chan]

My mistake, apparently you can't because J3516A (HSC 2-port 100BaseT) is only supported on 10.20 or 11.0, so it's obvious the driver J3623BA will not be in the 11i CDs.

Darryl,

Believe you need PHNE_25579 - it contains J3623BA. Here's the link:

HTH,

Thanks. I downloaded the patches to the
/tmp directory on my D280. cd to /tmp.
then sh PHNE_21767. This created the
PHNE_21767.depot and PHNE_21767.text files.

I then did and got the following:
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true > -s /tmp/PHNE_21767.depot

checked the permissions and they are rwxrwxrwx

thanks

Other than doing from Command Prompt try to do it through swinstall and see what error it gives.

Darryl,

Try Sandip's suggestion.
You may also try to register the file with the swreg command.
But I've seen this before & it's caused by the way the depot was packaged. I'll try to find the solution - can't remember off-hand.
But I have to question why you pulled PHNE_21767 - that's an ARPA cumulative & contains no products - just fixes.
You need PHNE_25579.

Rgds,

because when I went to download PHNE_25579, it told me that it depended on PHNE_21767, PHNE_22566, PHNE_22962. So, I thought they were required.

[Jeff Schussele]

Darryl,

BTW PHNE_25579 has as dependencies:

PHNE_18075
PHNE_18409

So if you don't have these already you might as well pull them while you're there.

HTH,
Jeff

That's weird - when I look at the page I only see the two I mentioned. The page I see is:

well,
swinstall said that PHNE_2167 was already installed. So, I jumped straight to
PHNE_25579. swinstall said it was a 'sparse' file and was intended to update already installed software. As I am trying to get and
install the J3623BA software for the first time, this isn't going to work.

Any other ideas (I do have the 11i cd's).

[Jeff Schussele]

Darryl,

Sorry, I've searched all over HP & cannot find it anywhere - including the HW Enablement, HW/CR & Quality Packs for 11.0.

If anybody out there can get J3623BA to Darryl have at it. I'm out of ideas. The only thing I can think of is try to have your HP sales rep loan you an 11.00 CD set to get it installed.

Rgds,
Jeff
