Lan card configuration

[Les Schuettpelz]

We have a K420 running HP-UX 10.20 with a PDC level of 2.2 and we are trying to find out if it is possible to install a HP HP-PB 100 Base TX card. Does anyone have the answer out there?

[Sandip Ghosh]

Yes you can install the 100 BaseTX Card as an additional card.

PDC should not be a problem.
From yoour log it seems you ar etrying to install a patch for which the base fileset is not installed, in this case the 100Baset PB software!

ERROR: The "checkinstall" script for "PHNE_21884" failed (exit code
"1"). The script location was
"/opt/depot/lan/catalog/PHNE_21884/pfiles/checkinstall".

install the software for the A3495a card first

Hello,

It looks like you have dependency problems.

Go to the HP ITRC site's patch database, enter in the patch and see if there are dependencies that you dont have.

Hopt this helps

Hello again,

In addition to the very important information Melvyn offered up, I went to the patch database and there are two dependencies (which may or may not be resolved with the driver software):

PHCO_10947 and PHNE_21904

http://us-support.external.hp.com/wpsl/bin/doc.pl/sid=6e1d068015bad23240/screen=wpslPatchList

make sure you have these on you system before applying PHNE_21884

Hope this helps

Ok,
Thanks to all for the responses. We have some digging to do to find out what is missing. I will have to repost later if the suggestions don't work because the server is in a remote location.

Again thanks

[Christopher McCray_1]

I just wanted to point out that the dependecies I referred to are for the replacement for 21884, which is PHNE_23921. You should check out the patch description and see if you should consider this patch over the 21884.

Good luck

Chris
