System Management Homepage Displays Information for Only One Port of an HP NC320m Dual
Port PCI Express Gigabit Server Adapter Installed in an HP ProLiant BL20p G4 Server Blade Running
Novell NetWare 6.5 SP5
Description
HP System Management Homepage (SMH) displays information for only one port
of an HP NC320m Dual Port PCI Express Gigabit Server Adapter installed in an
HP ProLiant BL20p G4 server blade running Novell NetWare 6.5 SP5 when the
operating system is installed using an HP SmartStart Release 7.51 Assisted
Installation.
This condition occurs because SmartStart Release 7.51 Assisted Installation does
not use the Q57.LAN driver for the NC320m adapter because the PCI
information for this adapter is not available in the Q57.LDI file. Instead, the
B57.LAN driver is loaded and results in this behavior.

Port PCI Express Gigabit Server Adapter and running Novell NetWare 6.5 SP5
installed using an HP SmartStart Release 7.51 Assisted Installation.
Workaround
To view NC320m adapter information using the System Management
Homepage, use INETCFG and select the Q57.LAN driver to load for the
NC320m adapter. Additional information on INETCFG is available at the
following URL:
