How to Verify that the Correct Driver is in the Kernel

For instructions on how to install and configure the hardware and software, refer to the PCI-X 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet Combination Card for HP-UX 11i V 1.0 Installation Guide available on the web at http://docs.hp.com under “Networking and Communications.”

The required operating environment is HP-UX 11i v 1.0 or v 2.0. The operating environment version should show as B.11.11 or B.11.23 when you type: uname -a at the system prompt.

The A9782A and A9784A cards require the fcd B.11.11.02 driver version from the FibrChanl-01 bundle and the igelan B.11.11.09 driver from the GigEther-01 bundle. Note that the Fibre Channel driver is the same one used with the A6826A Fibre Channel card.

To verify that the driver was loaded in the kernel, execute the following command:

what /stand/vmunix |grep drivername
where drivername is igelan (for Gigabit Ethernet) or fcd (for Fibre Channel)

You should see a response like:

igelan_ilan Version: 1 	 							Jun 26 2003
igelan Revision: B.11.11.09 Jun 26 2003

To verify that the fibre channel driver (fcd) was loaded in the kernel, you can also execute the following command: fcmsutil /dev/fcdx  
where: x is the number assigned to the Fibre Channel port.
