[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: [FW1] Accelerator Card
I don't know if it's the same on Solaris as NT but ... When I installed an accelerator card in a Proliant 5500R it blue screened when you tried to do a lunadiag, even though the NT event log identified the card. This is a known issue on the CP site - all you have to do is to move the card before any "PCI Bridge" devices. CP can't tell me what types of card fall into a "PCI Bridge" category but ... If you place the card in the highest priority slot it works fine (on a Compaq 5500R the right most slot if you are stood at the front, ie on the Primary PCI bus and furthest from the secondary bus). I also know that array accelerator cards and NIC's seem to fall into this category which makes it kind of fun to install a card after building the firewall since you have to strip down and re-install as the NIC bindings fail (IPCONFIG shows random NIC's but not all of them) The process I had to use was Perform a backup of the machine and copy FW1 directory somewhere safe Move array accelerator card Move NICs Restart the OS Remove FW1 (this also deletes all logs and policies - which is stupid !) Remove the NIC drivers Re-install the NIC drivers, reconfigure IP. Re-install FW-1 Drag back all the config files Install the LUNA driver Update the NIC info in the policy Re-install the policy Test If it helps, our cards are in this order (left to right) SMART Array controller - HDD controller Standard SCSI adapter for backups Standard Compaq NIC (Intel) Adaptec 4 port NIC Adaptec 4 port NIC LUNA card Compaq RIB Board (OOB management) - must go in specific slots ! This took me all night for a simple "find a spare PCI slot", reboot and "Run Setup" documented in the manual. Oh -- and don't forget to do a fwstop before running a lunadiag .... Good luck Regards Tim -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 27 September 2000 18:43 To: [email protected] Subject: [FW1] Accelerator Card I am trying to get a VPN Accelerator card installed and running in a Sun Ultra 60 with Solaris 7. After installing the device, booting the machine and getting to the OK prompt, running show-devs lists the device as pcicafe,1@2. I understand this to mean that the Ultra 60 sees the card. Then I install the software driver (pkgadd -d . CPvpna-41) from the cp2000_strong/solaris2/Add-Ons directory from the CD. It installs fine and says to reboot to finish. Upon doing so, the start screen begins to show the device loading up but lists continuous attempts to reset the device failing. After getting into the Desktop, running lunadiag says no slot available. fw accel stat lists device driver not loaded or device not installed. Anybody run in to this?
