Hardware and Software Installation Procedure

Step 10: Verify the LAN installation

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE When the system boots after installation, the insf command creates the proper device

ﬁles for the “ctl” interfaces (which would include the AB290A adapter) as well as the

SCSI devices attached to the AB290A adapter. Sometimes, however, the insf command

does not create all of the device ﬁles that are needed. For example, this happens when

you attach SCSI disks to the adapter after the system boots, but the adapter is already

installed in the system.

If you see a SCSI device listed in the ioscan output, but there is no device ﬁle in the

second line of the ioscan output for that device, the device ﬁle is missing. To solve this

problem, issue the insf -e command, which will create all of the device ﬁles.

For more information about the ioscan command, see the ioscan(1M) man page.

For more information about the insf command, see the insf (1M) man page.

Refer to your system documentation for information about verifying system operation.

Step 10: Verify the LAN installation

• Verify that the LAN connector’s Link LED is steadily on (this means the card and driver are installed

successfully).

• Obtain the PPA number and the station address of each card by using the lanscan command.

• To verify link-level connectivity with a remote system, enter:

$ linkloop -i

PPA_number remote_station_address

Note: when you use linkloop, ensure that the remote system is on the same subnet and is an

HP-UX-based system.

• To verify IP-level connectivity with a remote system, enter:

$ping

Remote_IP_Address

and

netstat -in

When you use netstat -in, the output values Ipkts and Opkts should be incrementing.

• Installation is complete when you have successfully run linkloop, ping, and netstat. To conﬁgure

remote systems, see the Ethernet Support Guide available on the web at http://docs.hp.com. Do this

step only if remote systems have not been previously conﬁgured.

• Optionally, if you want to verify that the iether driver appears for each installed card, enter: ioscan

-fknClan

The ioscan output for each port would look something like the following:

Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description

lan 3 1/10/0/1 iether CLAIMED INTERFACE HPAB290A PCI-X 2port U320 SCSI/2port 1000Base-T
