ABSTRACT: Problem with S/370 Channel Card and PSF for AIX
SEARCH ARG: psf/aix driver
TOPIC THREAD: PRINT
PSF/AIX
..
Regarding the answer to the question RTA000102062, I am having
a similar problem. From the answer it would appear that the device
driver for the 370 channel card is not provided in the base for PSF/AIX
V2.1.0, but instead is included in a PTF for PSF. Is my understanding
correct or am I reading too much into your answer? Thanks.
A:
When AIX Version 4 first came out, many products' device drivers,
including the PSF/AIX driver for the S/370 Channel Emulator/A adapter
had to be rewritten to work with the new AIX kernel.Thus, the PSF
driver for that card under AIX V4 was delayed and shipped later in a
PTF. There was always a driver for the card available with PSF/AIX
for use with AIX V3.2.5.
In short, if you are trying to use PSF/AIX and the S/370 Channel
Emulator/A adapter on an AIX V4 system, you must order and apply the
latest PSF/AIX PTFs, re-IML your system, and then load the device
driver onto the card through the PSF smit panels. Detailed instructions
should be included with the documentation shipped with the PTF.
I hope that helps. If not, please reopen with details of the problems
you're experiencing.
