Yes it does. there are others that aren't found but ML08 are all present. I think that it is the PCI controller card issue. We installed it last month and Prophet 21 (our support on this box) could not find the driver and it has been giving us problems ever since. I think that I have found out the issue because I did a lslpp -l all | grep 00100b00 and found that it is only at 4.2.1.0 not 4.3.3.25
like it should be. (That is what the manual that came with the card says to install)
I just need to install the latest driver but do I do a smit update_all or a smit install_latest or what command do I acuually do to install just the driver I need from the CD??
Can I do it while the system is hot? Or do I have to wait until downtime? This card controlls 3 different Hard disks and one is not mirrored correctly so I can probably unmirror the 2 that are and then do it but I don't know and currently I am waiting on P21 to contact me again.
Again thanks for your help.
