Card.”

Installing the PCIe Card

Card installation varies by server type and model. The following procedures are a general guideline for installing the card. For more information, see the documentation for your server in the Enterprise Servers, Workstations and Systems Hardware section at:

http://www.docs.hp.com/en/hw.html

WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult the server documentation safety information. Ensure that you are properly grounded before continuing the installation procedure to not damage electronic components from electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Review the installation procedures below before performing any installation.

To install the card, follow these steps:

1. Power off the server and any peripheral devices that are attached to the server.

2. Open the server to access the PCI backplane.

3. Insert the card into the selected PCIe slot by sliding the card edge-connector into the PCIe slot until it is fully seated.

4. Reassemble the server.

5. Power on the server (or slot if using OL*) and any peripheral devices that are attached to the server.

Configuring a Card Using HP-UX on HP Integrity Systems

To configure the card on a server running HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2, or 11i v3, follow these steps:

1. Install the card (if needed). See “Installing the PCIe Card”.

2. Connect the LAN cables to the card and to the appropriate switch ports using CAT 5 or better LAN cable.

3. Boot the server.

4. To see a list of all LAN cards with drivers, enter the following command:

# ioscan -fnClan

• If your card is listed and the status is CLAIMED, continue to “Verifying the HP-UX

Configuration.”

• If your card is not listed, enter ioscan to determine if the card is present but the driver

is not installed as follows:

# ioscan -fn

If the driver is not installed, the card status appears as UNCLAIMED.

5. If needed, install the driver or update the driver to the latest version. Get the latest driver from the latest quarterly release media for your version of HP-UX. To add new software, use the swinstall command.

Verifying the HP-UX Configuration

To verify the HP-UX configuration, follow these steps:

1. To verify connectivity to the switch, enter the following command: HP-UX 11i v3 # nwmgr -c lanPPA -A link_state,speed HP-UX 11i v1 or 11i v2 # lanadmin -x PPA

2. To display all LAN cards with IP addresses, enter the following command:

# netstat -in

3. Assign IP addresses and subnet masks to additional cards as desired. On HP-UX 11i v3, use the System Management Homepage (SMH).

For further details, see the HP-UX System Administrator’s Guide: Configuration Management. On HP-UX 11i v1 or 11i v2, use SAM.

4. For each interface, run ifconfig lanx to verify the correct IP, netmask, and broadcast addresses. For example:

# ifconfig lan0

Configuring a Card Using OpenVMS on HP Integrity Systems

Follow these steps to configure the card on a server running OpenVMS:

1. Install LAN card (if needed) and attach the cables to it.

2. Plug LAN cable (or cables) into LAN card and into appropriate switch ports using Category 5 (CAT 5) or better LAN cable.

3. Boot the server.

4. To display the LAN configuration, enter:

MCR LANCP SHOW CONFIGURATION

If you do not see your card, use SDA to determine if the card is present but needs a driver. For example:

ANALYZE/SYSTEM SDA> CLUE CONFIG/ADAPTER

If the card is present, you will see the PCIe device ID data without an associated LAN device name, typically EIn0 or EWn0 where n is the card letter.

5. If needed, install the driver or update the driver to the latest version, by installing the latest LAN remedial kit for the release. You can find the kit on ftp.itrc.hp.com and select

openvms_patches. LAN kits are named release_LAN-Vxxxx.ZIPEXE, for example, VMS83I_LAN-V0500.ZIPEXE is the fifth LAN kit released for Integrity servers running

OpenVMS Version V8.3. Consult the release notes associated with this kit, the .TXT file with the same name, for installation procedures and a list of changes contained in the kit. After installing the kit, you might need to reboot the server.

Verifying the OpenVMS Configuration

Follow these steps to verify the OpenVMS configuration:

1. Enter the following command to verify connectivity to the switch:

MCR LANCP SHOW CONFIGURATION

The link state, speed, duplex mode, flow control setting, auto-negotiation setting, MAC address, device type and device name should be listed. Note that auto-negotiation is enabled by default on Integrity servers. If you want to change these settings, use LANCP commands to define the setting of auto-negotiation, speed, duplex, and flow control in the permanent device database so the device will be set up correctly on the next boot. And use LANCP commands to change the current settings as needed. If the device is properly connected to the network with the appropriate settings, the link state is up.

2. Set up and/or verify the applications running on the device. Some applications might require reconfiguration especially as the device names might have changed after the device was installed. For example, if TCP/IP was configured on the EIC0 device, but the new card is configured as EIC0, you might need to adjust the TCP/IP configuration to enable it on the desired device.
