Network Card Issue

[Joe_Flow_1]

Ok guys.... Intialy I pull the power to reset the system.... Iplug in the ethernet cable and put in the power cable. Both LED come on. Then when the system is booted and the os is booted than the leds go off...... I run ioscan its there and lanscan and sees only the internal lan eth0...

What do I need to do to start it again

[IT_2007]

run ioscan -fnClan to see it. what kind of Hardware do you have? Did you installed proper software / drivers ?

[Mel Burslan]

lights both coming on at power up only means that your card is getting power. you need to install drivers for your system to recognize the network adapter. Without server type and network interface product number, it is impossible to tell you if your combination is compatible to each other. If they are compatible, you will need to dig up your HP applications media to find the right software to install the drivers.

The ethnet card is buit inthe system

[IT_2007]

Give us what model of the hardware, OS etc..

what is the output of ioscan -fnClan ?

[Joe_Flow_1]

lan 0 10/0/12/0 0x0010837A3F4E 0 up lan0 snap0 1 Ether YES 119

[IT_2007]

can you check /etc/rc.log for any errors and also check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log.

It looks like you got bad NIC

[Joe_Flow_1]

I see no errors

[Joe_Flow_1]

any suggerstions on network cards that may work to replace it by.

[IT_2007]

You may have to talk to HP.

[IT_2007]

Just a thought.

Pull out network cable and reboot it. Once it comes up, run ioscan -fnClan and see if you can see the NIC.

[Joe_Flow_1]

It still sees it without the cord in.... I did throw in a secondary nic card.

Where and what files contasin device claims and Driver.

[IT_2007]

If you see it then run insf -e and then again ioscan -fnClan and check if it shows 2 lan devices?

[Joe_Flow_1]

Still shows as unknown

[Joe_Flow_1]

do you know where the drivers for the lan cars is held... Im going try to write my own...THanks

P.S. Im not too familiar with HP-UX

[IT_2007]

If you know what is the model and type of NIC then you can search in HP website.

[Joe_Flow_1]

Do they keep up to date drivers for HP-UX for non hp nic cards?

[IT_2007]

You can search but not sure for non-hp.

[Joe_Flow_1]

Do you know where the hardware drivers are held in the hp-ux file system
