PCI/PCI-X/PCI-E Backplane?
How can I determine if my rx2660 or my rx6600 HP systems (running 11.23) have the above mentioned backplane?
Is there a command to show this?
Thanks

The hardware path for the slots are different.
Hope this helps!

Re: PCI/PCI-X/PCI-E Backplane?
8 pci-x slots
or
4 pci-x slots and 4 pci-e slots.
Your system has 8 pci-x slots, no pci-e.
The rx2660 can either have a "pure" pci-x riser, "pure" pci-e or a mix of both.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: PCI/PCI-X/PCI-E Backplane?
Same for the second system.
Do a
# ioscan -fndlba
You can also do a
# olrad -q
and you get all information about the slots.
PCI-e output would look like this (superdome sx2000):
# olrad -q
...

Hope this helps!

Re: PCI/PCI-X/PCI-E Backplane?
The HPUX 11iv3 support matrix states that rx6600 with a PCI/PCI-X/PCI-E Backplane is not supported.
So I guess my configuration isn't supported?

Re: PCI/PCI-X/PCI-E Backplane?
I assume you have an older version of this matrix.
PCI-e was not supported on the first release in february 2007, but now it is.
You don't have pci-e anyway.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.
