pci card not recognised

[mazzu]

Hi

I have installed a pci J3525A x25 card into slot 8 on a HP9000/800 machine.(HPUX 11.00) I then restarted it but ioscan does not see the card.
I tried slot 9 but this did not help either.

I'm absolutely new on HP and I'm sure it is something simple.
can anybody help please?

thanks

Hi,

Does your system supports this card ?? what is system model no.??

The PCI board is supported on HP 9000 V-Class servers and HP 9000 B- and C-Class workstations. The maximum number of PCI boards which can be installed on a system is equal to the number of I/O slots available on this system for B- or C-Class Workstations and twenty (20) for V-Class servers.

* Supported systems: B- and C-Class on HP 9000 Workstation on HP-UX 10.20 for X.25 and HP-UX 10.30 for Frame-Relay.
* Supported systems: V-Class on HP 9000 Servers on HP-UX 11.0 for X.25/Frame-Relay.


Also refer to the following doc -
he following manual is included with J3525A product:

* HP J3525A Dual-Port PCI Synchronous Adapter Installation Guide (P/N J3525-90001

>is supported on HP 9000 V-Class servers...

The J3525A card is a WAN adapter card and is supported on a number of IPF and PARISC servers inclusive. However it would help if you could tell us the make and model of your server. Does this card come up as either UNCLAIMED or NO_HW in the ioscan listing? Provide some details on the WAN card.

The card is a PCI HP J3525A
The Server is a HP 9000 L class L1000.

.....but under SAM -->peipheral devices --> cards it's not visible.

I believe the necessary device drivers are configured into the kernel but are not sure how to confirm this.

any more suggestions?

hi,

to use the card you need the software/driver.

This is part number J2793B and maybe on the apps cd, this version may also work from software.hp.com

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=J2793B

Also check this link for more details, as the software is licenced and you will need the correct licence to use it.

http://www.hp.com/products1/serverconnectivity/adapters/dualport/adapter18/infolibrary/index.html

As for the HPUX boot problem that is nothing to do with the card installed and would be best if you started a new thread regarding that.

Sam wont see the card if the driver package isnt installed

Thanks for the support.

I now have reinstalled all the SW which I suspect has anything to do with the x25 card, but I still can't see or add the card in the peripheral --> card option of SAM.

iosacn -f however does show the card installed on 0/2/0/0 and claimed.

mazzu,

the card will be ready for configuring, however you wont find it under cards and be able to add it here.

you have already doen that bit with installing the software

As its a communications card you will find it under network and communication and then network interface cards.

This is where you can then configure the card

Follow this link for details on how to configure it in sam

http://docs.hp.com/en/J2793-90059/ch03s01.html#d0e669

Once you have it configured, let us know how you got on and dish out some points...lol

Thanks this seems to help.

I now try to configure the x25 connection via the osiadmin tool.
problem is, that when using putty I can't confirm a setting as it want an F4 key input.
I have tried to change the Function key and keypad seting on putty to all its possible settings (VT100,VT400,XterV6 etc) but non of them work.
Any ideas what the HP sequence is for their function keys?

[Matti_Kurkela]

Set PuTTY's terminal type to e.g. VT100, then connect. Before starting the osiadmin tool, run "echo $TERM" to check that HP-UX has recognized your terminal type correctly. It should say "vt100".

If it responds something else, change the TERM environment variable to "vt100" before starting osiadmin.

Got it all running now.!!
I went trough a very steep learning curve the during the last week.

Many thanks to all of you.

Not sure how do "dish out points"
please let me know

Hi,

at the top of every answer there's an 'Unassigned' and an arrow for a pull down menu with possible points. Just mark the pts. you want to give and then push 'Submit Points >>' at the end of your thread.
