HP-UX 11i December 2002 Release Notes

I/0 and Networking Cards
Network Drivers

Note that the BTLAN.100 script will only merge the driver-specific configuration files if
the corresponding hardware is present on the system, and if the files have at least one
LAN interface configured. (For example, if the system had the HSC-based Fast Ethernet
networking driver [btlan4] and corresponding hardware [HSC cards], then the
hpgsc100conf configuration file should have at least one card configured in it.)
Manual Merging
If the update process is abandoned because of preupdate script failures (other than
syntax errors in configuration files or a duplicate LAN interface error), then the
configuration files have to be merged manually. Once this has been done, you can then
continue the update process. (Once the update process is restarted, the user should
answer NO (N) at the prompt, Do you want to proceed in merging the
configuration files into one? [Y|N].)
Manual Merging Procedure
1. Find out which of the five configuration files listed below exists in the
/etc/rc.config.d directory.
• hpbtlanconf (btlan)
• hpbase100conf (btlan3)
• hpgsc100conf (btlan4)
• hppci100conf (btlan5)
• hpsppci100conf (btlan6)
2. For each of the files found in Step 1, use the command ioscan -kfC lan to find out
if corresponding hardware is present.
Driver Name: File Name
a. btlan -- hpbtlanconf
b. btlan3 -- hpbase100conf
c. btlan4 -- hpgsc100conf
d. btlan5 -- hppci100conf
e. btlan6 -- hpsppci100conf
If hardware is present, check to see if any LAN interface is configured. For example,
the configuration for hpbtlanconf (btlan) would show as follows:
HP_BTLAN_INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan1
HP_BTLAN_STATION_ADDRESS[0]=0x080009C4686E
HP_BTLAN_SPEED[0]=100HD
3. Create the file hpbtlanconf.merge in the directory /etc/rc.config.d as shown
below:
#####################################################################
(#) hpbtlanconf
# hpbtlanconf: contains config values for HP PCI/HSC 100Base-T
interfaces
#
# HP_BTLAN_INTERFACE_NAME Name of interface (lan0, lan1, ...)
