lanscan

[Neil Wilson_2]

Just installed B6826AA Partition Manager, ISEEPlatform and T1335AC HPUX Virtual partitions on rp8400 running 11.11.
Following the reboot lanscan shows no output. Is this command superceded or replaced?

[Mark Greene_1]

From the lanscan man page:

lanscan does not display information about LAN devices that do not
have software support such as LAN interface cards that fail to bind
properly at boot-up time.


Do an ioscan -f an see if your NIC appears in the listing. Then try the lanscan with the -v option.

There are three PCI 1000Base-SX Adapters and the onboard 1000Base-T Built-in I/O card. software is installed and claimed against the cards in ioscan.

[Mark Greene_1]

I assume the system is on the network, that you can ping the gateway, telnet and/or ssh to the system and the like?

What are the permissions on the lanscan executeable? On my 11.0 system, it looks like this:

-r-xr-sr-x 1 root sys 40960 Mar 20 2003 /usr/sbin/lanscan

[Neil Wilson_2]

Yes on the network on two of the cards, internal i/o and one external. Permissions are
r-xr-sr-x 1 root sys 40960 Nov 14 2000 /usr/sbin/lanscan

Hey Neil, trust you are well!

lanscan gets its info out of the kernel image on disk (/stand/vmunix) and in memory (/dev/kmem) If your booted off a different kernel then it can't find lan devices. Can you check which kernel you are booted off using:

/usr/sbin/kmpath

Just to confirm you are booted off the standard kernel.

Also, are you sure that lanscan is completing with no messages, and not, in fact dumping core?

Hey Dunc,

Yes lanscan is completing properly, no core/dump files and /usr/sbin/kmpath returns /stand/vmunix. I also tried lanscan /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem. No output there either.

FYI. The core i/o board (0) is bound to npartition 0. attached to the board are three GigEther cards and three 2Gb FC cards. All Software is configd / claimed.

PS Got a few nites out shortly. This Fri in Lpool and next Fri in Chester (Ops one).

OK, lets get a silly one out of the way first...

which lanscan

does return

/usr/sbin/lanscan

doesn't it?

and lanscan hasn't been alias'd (check with alias)...

Otherwise I think you might be looking at patches, as your lanscan does look very old (can you also post the output of "what /usr/sbin/lanscan" )

# which lanscan

Interesting output from what command. I noticed lanscan date of 2000. Dont know how this is when we have installed 11.11 off Sept 2003 HPUX 11i Core OS/OE CD's

[Duncan Edmonstone]

sorry, you need to give the full path for 'what'

what /usr/sbin/lanscan

HTH

[Neil Wilson_2]

what /usr/sbin/lanscan

Doesntlook good.

Bear in mind when this was built from OS CD's the patches installed from extensions CD.

Duncan:

I keep forgetting about the what command, great call!

Neil:

Here's the output from what on my 11.11 system:

Neil,

Thats a perfectly good version of lanscan - the version Mark mentions is also the version I have on my systems - however if I look in /var/adm/sw/save I can see the same version you have and it works fine:

# ll /var/adm/sw/save/PHNE_25388/LAN-RUN/usr/sbin/lanscan
-r-xr-sr-x 1 root sys 40960 Nov 14 2000 /var/adm/sw/save/PHNE_25388/LAN-RUN/usr/sbin/lanscan

So thats a red herring...

I'm running out of ideas now - I guess patches may be the only way to go...

[Neil Wilson_2]

Right, I installed the latest patch PHNE_28923. After reboot ran lanscan and hey presto. Same old adage HP .. Happy Patching!
If in doubt patch it!

thanks Duncan.

[Duncan Edmonstone]

Quel Surprise!

Now you can have all kinds of fun & games with your vPARs - hope you have the latest firmware on the rp8400 as well!

I might just be able to make that night out in Chester - I 'll give Jonny a call...

Cheers

Duncan
