4 - Verify Adapter Installation
1. As the system is powered on, observe the B and A port status LEDs.
The PCI FDDI adapter will execute onboard diagnostics as the
system is powered on.
• A flashing green LED for 1 second indicates a successful self-test.
• A steady amber LED indicates a possible failure with that port.
2. When the system is up, execute ioscan or ioscan -c from the
HP-UX prompt to verify that the system recognizes the card. Look
for the description PCI FDDI Adapter for the appropriate hardware
path.
3. Verify that the proper device files have been created.
ls -1 /dev/lan* (list the HP device files)
ls -1 /dev/nettrace /dev/netlog (lists the diagnostics device
files)
4. Check that the network interface state and hardware state of the
adapter is “UP”.
/usr/sbin/lanscan
5. The hardware state indicates the card’s physical state.
