Preparing Your Workstation
Preparing Your Workstation
You must prepare your workstation before you install new upgrades or remove old
components. Here is the procedure for doing this:
1. Determine if you have the correct version of the operating system. Note that your
workstation must be running the HP-UX 11.0 operating system and the Workstation
Additional Core Enchancements (ACE) for HP-UX 11.0 (November 1999) or HP-UX
11i operating system and the Hardware Enablement Bundle (HWE) for HP-UX 11i
(June 2001) to accommodate the PA8700 upgrade. Use the command uname -r to
determine the revision of your operating system. It should report B.11.00. if you are
running an HP-UX 11.0 operating system. If the workstation is running an older
version of HP-UX, update the operating system software before continuing. Use the
command:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle
to view what software products are loaded in your system. If the product list includes
B6261AA, HP-UX 11.0 with ACE (November, 1999), or HWEnable11i, HP-UX 11i
with HWE (June, 2001), you do not need to update HP-UX.
2. Determine the workstation’s LAN ID by entering the following command:
/usr/sbin/lanscan.
The output is similar to the following:
Hardware Station Crd Hardware Net-Interface NM MAC HP DLPI Mjr
Path Address In# State NameUnit State ID Type Support Num
2.0.2 0x08000970ECC0 0 UP lan0 UP 4 ETHER YES 130
Record the LAN ID here. You will need it after installing the new system board:
Enter LAN ID: ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ -___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
You must supply the dash (-) between the first six digits and the last six digits
After you install the new CPU board and power on the system for the first time, you
may be prompted for the LAN ID.
