ioscan output shows
that the adapter is
unclaimed
• Check that the driver software is loaded:
what /stand/vmunix | grep ‘PCI FDDI’
If software is loaded and the adapter is not
claimed, then the adapter is not an HP
OEM’d adapter.
ifconfig or
netstat -i does not
show interface
(software state is
down)
• Use the ifconfig command to check the
existence and status of the device;
Example: ifconfig lan0
• Check that /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
has configuration statements for this
device so the device will be initialized for
IP when the system starts. If not, assign an
IP address for the interfaces, then run the
command:
‘/sbin/rc2.d/s329hppcifddi start’ to
create PCI FDDI device files, if they are not
already created.
• Then run the command:
‘/sbin/rc2.d/s340net start’ to
configure the interfaces with IP addresses.
Adapter cannot
communicate with
other hosts on the
local network.
• Use fddipciadmin to verify that upstream
and downstream neighbors are correct.
• Examine the LEDs.
• Check the FDDI cable. Make sure the
FDDI media is correctly installed. ping the
failed system from another host on the
network.
