Problem with my new FC card A6795A

Hi Everyone!
Someone can help me_? I have installed two FC cards in a rp5470 and before installed the driver B.11.11.09 with PHKL_27751 patch.
When I use ioscan -fnC fc, ux (hp-ux 11i) detect CLAIMED the cards, but I cannot see them with lanscan and they are CLAIMED, what else I have to do to be able to configure them_?? Thnx!

There's a special command called 'fcmsutil' for fibre channel Host Bus Adapters, or just HBA's.

Here are some basic commands:

Note your 'Local N_port_ID'

fcmsutil /dev/td1 echo -l 1 200 5

Send 5 echo packets of 200 bytes each to a remote N_Port with loop_id 1

Check further HBA info by referring to 'loss of signal and Bad Tx Char' and transmission counts via:

fcmsutil /dev/td0 state
fcmsutil /dev/td1 state
fcmsutil /dev/td? state, etc.

##########################################

Note the /dev/td0, 1, etc. Use ioscan to find these:

# ioscan -fnkC fc (* fc = fibre channel class *)

###########################################

Here's some more examples from the man page:

EXAMPLES
Print the remote port parameters using the get remote option if the driver is idle. /dev/fcms1 is the
device file and /dev/rdsk/c27t0d0 is the respective raw disk file.
fcmsutil /dev/fcms1 get remote 0x98 < /dev/rdsk/c27t0d0
Print a short listing of the statistics maintained by the driver, with /dev/td1 as the device file.
fcmsutil /dev/td1 stat -s
Send 5 echo packets of 200 bytes each to a remote N_Port with loop_id 4, with /dev/td1 as the device
file
fcmsutil /dev/td1 echo -l 4 200 5
Print a short listing of the statistics of the device whose
remote-N-Port-ID is 0x02ae4 and with /dev/td1 as the device file
fcmsutil /dev/td1 devstat 0x02ae4
Clear the device statistics of the device whose wwn is 0x100000e002219f45 and with /dev/td1 as the
device file
fcmsutil /dev/td1 clear_devstat -w 0x100000e002219f45
