Upgrade NIC driver on hpux 11iv1

Hi,

Have been away from HPUX for a number of years, and need some help.

I have a Superdome partition that has A6825 NIC cards installed, they have igelan driver installed at version of B.11.11.04. Now we need to upgrade the driver to B.11.11.26. Is it true that I need to swremove the older driver first, then install the new one? Or there is a different way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Download the driver and install (no need to uninstall anything):

Torsten,

Looks like the links you gave are for the 11i v2. But I guess the overall process is the same. It's good to know that I don't have to uninstall and install.

Sorry for the duplicate thread, I got snail-pace Internet connection today, clicked the button twice. Will close this thread.

Thank you again.

No need to uninstall the old driver.

Sorry (I was working on a 11.23 at the same time) - but you already have your solution in the duplicated thread.
PHNE_35692 will update to the current version.

Hope this helps!

Torsten.
