Managers,
Original question:
We have installed a 3X-DE600-AA NIC in an AlphaServer 4100 running
Tru64 UNIX V4.0G & TruCluster 1.6. When we do a "show fru" & "show
dev" the NIC shows up with a name of "ei0", but when we boot the
GENERIC kernel & build a new kernel, it fails to show up in the
configuration file. I have found reference to a New Hardware
Delivery CD for V4.0F. Is this also necessary for V4.0G or is there
something else I am missing?
SUMMARY:
We found in the Release Notes for V4.0G that the 3X-DE600-AA NIC was
supported in V4.0G. Apparently we did not boot the GENERIC kernel as
we had thought we had. Here is what we did that worked:
Ran netsetup & removed the tu0 interface (we were replacing a DE500
NIC.
Shutdown, swapped the DE500 NIC with the DE600.
Booted the generic kernel single-user mode(b -fi /genvmunix -fl s)
Ran "sizer -n test", which placed a configuration file in /tmp/test.
Found the following line in the file just below "Static Driver
Definitions": "config_driver ee"
Added this line to our configuration file in /sys/conf/MACHINENAME.
Ran doconfig -c MACHINENAME.
Placed the new kernel into production & rebooted multi-user mode.
Ran netsetup to add the new interface (ee0).
Rebooted.
