Problem with the fcT1_fcp device driver.

[arun kumar v]

Hi,

Problem:
---------
I made a new ignite (LIF) image using the ignite-UX version B.2.4.307. After this i installed this LIF image on a n-class sevrer with 2 CPU's - no problem.

But when i installed the same LIF image on a n-class server with single CPU, my "/stand/system" file is missing with the fcT1_fcp driver.

Why is this happening so...

H/W - n-class
OS - HP-UX 11.00

Thanks,
Arun Kumar

This is a fibre controller driver - Does your second system have fibre cards installed/connected ?

Hi Arun

I am not really up on the built in options that may or may not come on standard L class machines but an ioscan of the system should soon tell you if you have any Fibre cards -

ioscan -fnCext_bus

A visual look around the back should also let you know as well - You should probably see two thin cables (orange normally) coming out of a card which goes to a storage array. If you don't have any external storage on the box then you should probably not worry about the missing driver.

Hi,

I checked that i don't have the h/w installed both by the ioscan command and by looking at the back of the server. Since i had two kind of servers i expected things to work on both the machines. I didn't had the knowledge of checking at the proper hardware details.

Now as you said i don't have to worry of the driver installation when i don't have h/w installed.

Many thanks for all your replies....

Cheers,
Arun Kumar
