A9782A & A9784A PCI-X 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet Combination Card Installation Guide

HP-UX Installation

Step 9: Verify the LAN installation

Chapter 1

output lists all mass storage devices attached to the card.

If the correct driver is installed, but the card does not show in the ioscan output, the driver is not

recognizing the card. Make sure the card is seated and connectors are attached tightly, then if the

problem persists, contact HP for assistance.

Step 9: Verify the LAN installation

• Verify that the LAN connector’s Link LED is steadily on (this means the card and driver are installed

successfully).

• Obtain the PPA number and the station address of each card by using the lanscan command.

• To verify link-level connectivity with a remote system, enter:

$ linkloop -i

PPA_number remote_station_address

• To verify IP-level connectivity with a remote system, enter:

$ping

Remote_IP_Address

and netstat -in

• Installation is complete when you have successfully run linkloop, ping and netstat. To conﬁgure

remote systems, see the Ethernet Support Guide available on the web at http://docs.hp.com. Do this step

only if remote systems have not been previously conﬁgured.

• Optionally, if you want to verify that the igelan driver appears for each installed card, enter: ioscan -f

The ioscan output might look like the following:

Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description

lan 3 1/10/0/1 igelan CLAIMED INTERFACE HPA978*A PCI/PCI-X 1000Base-SX/T

FC/GigE Combo Adapter

The third column shows the hardware path of the slot in which the card is installed. This path will be

different for each installed card.
