Unable to install driver for these unlaimed devices.Pls help me.

[Torsten.]

Looks like a token ring card?
"Unable to install driver" - very exactly description of a problem ...

More details?

[Vee_1]

I did try insf -d to install driver for these unclaimed devices.But its not taking driver.Am not sure why..?

[Mel Burslan]

did you first install the driver software from a depot ? Token RIng cards are not very common on HPUX boxes. Hence the drivers for them, I believe, are not available on the OS installation media.

[Vee_1]

No.Moreover am not sure how to get that.Bcoz am not sure about the exact device name also.

hi,

you need to install the software package for it from the application cd's or download?

a bit more info would help like OS version for a start. Is it 10.20? 11.00? 11.11

with 10.20 the software packages started with a J for the token ring, and you can usuaaly work it out from the description in swinstall.

for 11.00 and above the driver package is that of the part number of the card. So nip round the back of the server and see if there is a part number on it, should be on the bezel.

Part number of the card and os version if you can and we can point you in the right direction

Hi Vee,

Kindly provide more information abt your server.

Model
OS
etc

[Michael Steele_2]

Need a few things:

ioscan -funC lan (* this will list lan drivers, not -fnk *)

/var/adm/sw logs (* exact error messages will be listed in the swagentd, swinstall logs. *)

Need the model number of the card. This is usually listed out with the 'ioscan' but 1014003e isn't anything. The model number will look like A5158A, for example.

Model of your server. Just type in model.

# model;uname -a;
9000/800/N4000-55

hi,

right you need to install the driver/software package then from the application cd's

it should be A5783A as the bundle number

see this link for more details

http://docs.hp.com/en/J1644-90018/pr02s01.html

In the PCI sections of this document, the phrase "the software product(s)" is used to refer to one or more of the following PCI Token Ring software product numbers:

J1644AA

A4930A

A5783A

Note that for 11i, the software bundle tags were changed to TokenRing-00.

If the A4930A hardware is present, the A4930A or TokenRing-00 software bundle should be installed.

If the A5783A hardware is present, the A5783A or TokenRing-00 software bundle should be installed.

If the system has both cards, then both software bundles should be installed.

The continued use of J1644AA is discouraged. Use A4930A or A5783A software in its place.

Hi Vee:

I also got a hit on the same URL that Torsten is referring too. And I noted that this driver worked on 10.20 and 11.00. I didn't see 11.11.

http://docs.hp.com/en/J1644-90024/J1644-90024.pdf

[Torsten.]

From the application cd (this was june 2007):

TokenRing-00 B.11.11.02 PCI Token Ring;Supptd HW=A5783A/A4930A;SW=J1644AA
TokenRing-01 B.11.11.01 HPPB Token Ring;Supptd HW=J2166B;SW=J2250B
TokenRing-02 B.11.11.01 EISA Token Ring;Supptd HW=J2165B


You will need the first.
