Unable to configure A6825A PCI GigE Base-T card

[Alberto Hurtado]

Hello, please their help if somebody knows about this.
Recently I install two cards A6825A PCI GigE Base-T in a server HP9000 V2250 with operating system HPUX B.11.00, already install the driver igelan version 1 Dec 18 2003. The cards are come with an ioscan but they are not come with the sam to be able to configure them.
The cards are already connected to the switch with cable UTP and the led is in green.
Thank's in advance for your help.

Hi,

Did you install HW Enablement Patch Bundle? You may download from:

http://www4.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/releasePage.do?BC=patch.breadcrumb.main|patch.breadcrumb.releaseIndexPage|&releaseId=5013-2091

Post the output of:

#ioscan -fun

Enjoy :)

in the ioscan output, if you can see these catrds, can you also see the device driver specila files with the command :

ioscan -fnC lan

something like /dev/diag/lan0, /dev/ether0 or /dev/lan0

if not, run the command

insf -e

then try configuring them again.

Yes, I was install HWE1100 B.11.00.0403. Hardware Enablement Patches for HP-UX 11.00, March 2004 and a A6825 B.11.00.13 1000Base-T PCI Gigabit Ethernet Driver.


and the same thing I also made the insf -e and anything happens.

I annex file with the ioscan - fun and ioscan - fnC lan

Hi,

Did you install de patch bundle after you install the drivers? You must first install the A6825A product and then install the pacth bunlde.

Also check with SAM if the IGELAN driver is enabled in the kernel!

Enjoy :)

I am not sure if this card is compatible with a V2250 system. Unfortunately I do not have a hardware compatibility matrix but I know that not all PCI cards are compatible with V-class machines. If someone can tell you for sure, here on the forums that, these are compatible, you need to ask it to HP and verify what you are trying to do is kosher.

Pedro: I did install first the QPK and HWE bundle patch and then the driver product A6825A. In reference to the driver in the kernel his state is:
| igelan In In Driver Static N /A ¦

And in refernce to the support matrix of servers the V Class is not appears for A6825A.

Any way Thank's for your help.
