Question Dual port NIC, cfgmgr

OS: AIX 6.1

The host has a dual port NIC installed and when I went to run `cfgmgr -v` to configure it I got an error showing device packages are missing from the install:

`cfgmgr -v` on 10.15.xx.xxx
cfgmgr: 0514-621 WARNING: The following device packages are required for device support but are not currently installed.
Quote:
devices.pci.ethernet:devices.pci.pci8086.1079.8086.1179.3:devices.pci.8680791086807911:dev
ices.pci.86807911:devices.pci.pci8086.1079.3:devices.pci.86807910:devices.pci.pciclass.020
000:devices.pci.pciclass.000200
Configuration time: 23 seconds

Any assistance or suggestions, greatly appreciated. Very much an AIX n00b.

There's a number of listings if you search on the error cfgmgr: 0514-621 WARNING. Is this a card you purchased with the system from IBM or an add on? Do you know the card's make/mfgr. ID?

Cheers,

Keith

Try "cfgmgr -v - i /dev/cd0" with the installation media located in the cdrom device. It will force AIX to look for the appropriate drivers in the installation media.

Code:

is the fastpath to installing device software. The drivers are most likely included on the AIX install or update disks.
