HP-UX 11i September 2001 Release Notes

I/0 and Networking Cards

Network Drivers (new at 11i original release)

Chapter 5

The init script will be hpbtlan and the conﬁguration ﬁle will be called

hpbtlanconf.

The conﬁguration ﬁles under /etc/rc.config.d/ will be replaced by hpbtlanconf.

When a cold install is performed, this ﬁle will get installed for all btlan driver

claimed cards. If, however, an upgrade is done, you can choose to merge the ﬁles using

pre-update scripts. If you do not elect to merge during an upgrade, then the ﬁles will,

by default, be saved as .obsolete ﬁles which can be later merged manually into the

hpbtlanconf ﬁle.

Networking and I/O Card Pre-Installed Drivers (updated for June 2001)

All of the following networking, I/O, and mass storage cards will have their drivers

pre-installed with (or built into) each of the the HP-UX 11i Operating Environments:

• PCI 1000Base-T (gigabit over copper) card A4929A

• PCI 1000Base-SX (gigabit over ﬁber) card A4926A

• PCI Combination Dual port 10/100Base-TX and Wide Ultra2 SCSI card A5838A

• PCI 4-port 10/100Base-TX cards A5506A and A5506B

• PCI 10/100Base-TX (A3738A)

• PCI core 10/100Base-TX card for workstations and servers

• PCI 10/100Base-TX card A5230A for servers

• PCI 10/100Base-TX card B5509BA for workstations

• PCI TachyonTL Fiber Channel card A5158A

• PCI FDDI card A3739B

• PCI RAID controller A5856A

• HSC 10/100Base-TX card J3514A opt #001 2-port for K-Class servers

• HSC 10/100Base-FX (ﬁber) card J3514A opt #002 2-port for K-Class servers

• HSC 10/100Base-TX card J3515A 1-port for workstations and D-Class servers

• HSC 10/100Base-TX card J3516A opt #001 2-port for workstations and D-Class

servers

• HSC 10/100Base-FX (ﬁber) card J3516A opt #002 2-port for workstations and

D-class servers

• HSC 10/100Base-TX card J3850A for T-Class server

• HSC 1000Base-SX (gigabit over ﬁber) cards A4924A, A4925A

Instructions for conﬁguring built-in PCI cards can be found in Appendix C of the HP-UX

11i Installation and Update Guide.

NOTE Tachyon TL is an Agilent manufactured Single Port PCI Fibre Channel Adapter. It

provides 2X PCI support (64-bit 33MHZ) and is a replacement for the current PCI

Tachyon adapters.

On 11i, the new functionality will be primarily OLAR support and boot support. It allows

for a hot swap of the card without rebooting.

Combine Pre-HP-UX 11i Conﬁguration Files

In HP-UX 11i, the drivers for PCI and HSC-based Fast Ethernet networking are

consolidated into one driver called btlan. This new driver is pre-installed as part of the

kernel.
