Ethernet Support Guide for HP-UX 11i v3
ioscan —fknC lan
The following is an example of ioscan output for each port of an AT111A CNA card:
ioscan -kfnC lan
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
==========================================================================
lan 6 40/0/0/2/0/0/0 iocxgbe CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AT111-60001 10Gb PCIe 2-port FlexFabric
(NIC) Adapter
lan 7 40/0/0/2/0/0/1 iocxgbe CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AT111-60001 10Gb PCIe 2-port FlexFabric
(NIC) Adapter
The third column represents the hardware path of the slot in which the adapter is installed.
This path will be different for each installed adapter port. The path that has “0” as the last
digit indicates the first port on the card (on the AT11A, the first port is labelled as port 1; on
some cards, such as the AT094A, the first port is labeled as LAN-A).
In this example, an iocxgbe driver is installed on both ports. In a multiport card, all ports
should display as CLAIMED. To determine whether the latest version of a driver is installed,
see the instructions in Section 2.1 (page 15).
For a card installed in a server blade enclosure with a Flex-10 interconnect module, the ioscan
-fknC lan output might be similar to the following example. In this example, an NC532m
dual-port card is installed in Mezzanine Slot #1 of a BL860c “B” model system. The NC532m
I/O paths are shown in the lines highlighted in bold. These lines display data for the card’s
eight physical functions (FlexNICs), where each of the card’s two ports has four physical
functions. (The first four lines of this display show the LOM ports of a BL860c server blade.)

lan 15 0/3/0/0/0/7 iexgbe CLAIMED INTERFACE HP 454521-001 PCIe 2-p 10GbE Mezzanine Adapter
NOTE: In this example, the server profile was not configured to define multiple functions for
the mezzanine card. If two or more functions are listed in the server profile, then the card is
configured in HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 mode; the ioscan display would show the text
“FLEX-10” appended to the description for each function, as in the following example:
lan 4 0/3/0/0/0/0 iexgbe CLAIMED INTERFACE HP 454521-001 PCIe 2-p 10GbE Mezzanine Adapter
FLEX-10
Although not required, HP recommends listing at least two functions of each port in the server
profile.
For a card installed in a server blade enclosure with a non-Flex-10 interconnect module or
switch, the output might be similar to the following, where an NC532m adapter is installed
in Mezzanine Slot #1 in the second blade of a BL870c i2 or a BL890c i2 model system. The
NC532m I/O paths are shown in the lines highlighted in bold.
