1 If using the A6826A card with a virtual array, please upgrade the firmware on the A6826A to version 3.02.170 or

later. This eliminates the crash dump problem that occurs with earlier firmware versions. You can check the firmware

version by using the /opt/fcms/bin/fcdutil /dev/fcd# command.

2 Support for boot as of vPars A.03.02.

Cards with a PCI-to-PCI Bridge On systems running HP-UX 11i v1, please install the PCI OL*

patch PHKL_31227 or its successor for cards that have a PCI-to-PCI bridge. This includes the

cards AB290A, A9782A, A9784A, and AB465A. You can check if any of your cards uses a

PCI-to-PCI bridge by issuing the ioscan -fkC ba command:

# ioscan –fkC ba

If a line similar to the following is shown in the ioscan output:

ba 2 1/0/6/1/0 PCItoPCI CLAIMED BUS_NEXUS PCItoPCI Bridge

then the cards below the hardware path use a PCI-to-PCI bridge, and you should install the

patch.

Networking Cards For vPars on PA-RISC, all networking cards that are supported for the server

are supported for the server in a vPars environment.
