4.3.10.1 Flowchart 9 procedures
• Use the ioscan command as follows:
ioscan -kfd drivername
Verify that the output from ioscan shows that the card is “CLAIMED” by the system.
• If the card is claimed, enter the nwmgr command and check whether the hardware state
display shows UP. If so, perform the cable and LED test (“Flowchart 1: Cable and LED test”
(page 40)). If not, continue to the logging function of the netfmt and nwmgr -r test
(“Flowchart 10: netfmt and nwmgr -r -c lanppa tests” (page 51)).
• If the card is not claimed, enter the following command:
what /stand/vmunix /stand/current/mod/* | grep drivername
In this command, drivername is the name of the driver that operates the card. Verify that
the version is the same as the version documented in the driver release notes. Use the name
of the running kernel image file in place of /stand/vmunix, as appropriate.
