Driver on an RS/6000 and pSeries System,” on page 7 or Chapter 4, “Installing the Device Driver
Software on an RS/6000 SP System,” on page 9. Return here to install your hardware.
4. Refer to your system unit documentation to perform the following:
a. Shut down your system unit.
b. Install the adapter into your system unit in any primary PCI bus.
5. After the installation is complete, connect the cable to the adapter.
6. Turn on your system unit. Go to “Verifying Hardware Installation.”
Verifying the Installation
Verify the initial installation by using the following procedures:
v
Verify Hardware Installation (lsdev)
v
Verify AIX Software Installation (lslpp)
Verifying Hardware Installation
To verify that your system unit recognizes the Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter, do the following:
1. If necessary, log in as root user.
2. Type:
lsdev -C | grep fcs
3. Press
Enter.
Possible results are as follows:
v
If the adapter did install, the following is an example of the data that displays on your screen:
fcs0 Available 20-60
If more than one Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter is installed, one line of output displays for each
adapter.
v
If the message on your screen indicates your adapter is
Defined
instead of
Available
, shut down
your machine. Check the adapter to ensure that it is installed correctly. Go to Chapter 5, “Installing
the Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter,” and return to “Verifying Hardware Installation” and repeat
steps 1-3.
