Step 4: Prepare to install the software

1. Log in as root.

2. Check that the /usr/bin, /usr/sbin and /sbin directories are in your PATH by

using the echo $PATH command.

3. Check the HP-UX version by entering: uname -r

# uname -r

B.11.xx

4. Install the appropriate patches for your system as described in the “Required

Software” section of the Release Notes, which is available on the Web at

http://docs.hp.com under Networking and Communications.

Step 5: Install the software if you are:

• adding a networking or I/O card to a system and

• that networking or I/O card is newer than your system’s Operating Environment.

1. Load the software media into the appropriate drive.

2. Run the swinstall program to install the software.

3. Change the host name after Source Host Name, if necessary.

4. Click the Source Depot Path to identify the registered depot for the appropriate

source depot path and activate the OK button to return to the Software Selection

Window.

5. Highlight the 1000Base-SX/T software as follows:

• GigEther-00 (for cards such as A4926A and A4929A) on HP-UX 11i v1, or

• GigEther-01 (for cards such as A6825A and A6847A) on HP-UX 11i v1. Check

the Release Notes or ask your HP representative for a list of the latest cards

supported.

• IEther-00 (for cards such as A47011A and A7012A) on HP-UX 11i v1.

6. Choose Mark for Install from the Actions menu to choose the product to be installed.

7. Choose Install from the Actions menu to begin product installation and open the

Install Analysis Window.

8. Activate the OK button in the Install Analysis Window when the Status ﬁeld

displays a Ready message.

9. Activate the YES button at the Conﬁrmation Window to conﬁrm that you want to

install the software. swinstall loads the ﬁleset, runs the control scripts for the

ﬁlesets, and builds the kernel. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes. When the

status ﬁeld indicates Ready, click Done. A Note Window then opens. Click the OK

button to reboot the system.

Step 6: Conﬁgure the card using SAM

The following conﬁguration is primarily for network cards that have been added into a

system:

1. Log in as root and verify that the card and its hardware path are displayed by

entering: ioscan.
