Tell if d-360 has graphics card installed.

[John Dvorchak]

I have a bunch of D-3xx servers in remote locations and need to see which have a graphics card installed. I have 3 here and two of them have graphics installed the other does not. Here is my problem, when I do an ioscan on all of them they all say graphics CLAIMED even though one of them doesn't have a card in the turbo, or any other, slot.

Here is an ioscan -fC graphics for the box that does have the graphics board installed:

> ioscan -fCgraphics
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
===============================================================
graphics 0 10/12 graph3 CLAIMED INTERFACE Graphics



and now here is the same command from one that does NOT have graphics installed.

ioscan -fCgraphics
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
===============================================================
graphics 0 8/8 graph3 CLAIMED INTERFACE Graphics

Other than the address I can't see much difference. I must be missing something.

Based on ioscan, i'd say yes.

I'd say both have a graphics card, perhaps one is built in.

My final determination is based on observation.

I stick my face in the back and look. You should see a card in both systems in my opinion.

And Stephen that would be my preference, but since about 20 of these are in remote locations, I can't stick my head in there and look.

I was looking for a sure fire way of seeing who had what installed. As I said earlier I can look at 3 here and only 2 of them have graphics cards installed, but they all look the same, except for the hardware address, with ioscan.

Hi John,

HW path 8/8 is HSC 0 slot 2 on that D-class which is 2 cards above the remote management card OR the third slot from the bottom. The bottom slot is *always* the remote mgmnt card slot.
If it's seen by an ioscan -fC graphics it almost has to be there. Could the connector possibly be somewhere else?
I'd take the side cabinet off & visually check that slot.

HTH,
Jeff

Jeff you were absolutely correct. I guess I am getting blind in my old age and until you pointed me to the correct slot I thought I was looking at a serial port. Then I put my glasses on and saw that it was a vga style 15 pin D-sub not a 9 pin. What threw me was the other two D-Classes 370 ad 390 have a card in the "Turbo Slot" and it has a larger connector that requires the adapter cable to make it work on a vga monitor.

Jeff pointed me to the correct slot and a visual inspection confirmed that he was correct.
