Fibre Channel Adapter Installation for HP-UX

Verifying the Fibre Channel Adapter Installation

Chapter 1

NOTE Be sure to use LC-LC or LC-SC cables for the Fibre Channel host bus adapters which use the

FCD driver.

Verifying the Fibre Channel Adapter Installation

1. To verify the adapter installation, enter the command:

# ioscan -f

2. Verify that the following drivers appear for each installed adapter. If all drivers display, proceed to the

next section, Verifying Connectivity.

The ioscan output might look like the following. 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.

3. If the ioscan output is similar to the following:

fc 0/0/6/1/0 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN

HP-UX detected the adapter, but the drivers are not properly loaded.

4. If the correct driver is installed and the adapter is not listed in the ioscan output, contact HP for

assistance.
