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.

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.

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