Getting Started Preparing Your Workstation Preparing Your Workstation You must prepare your workstation before you install new upgrades or remove old components. Here is the procedure for doing this: 1. Determine if you have the correct version of the operating system. Note that your workstation must be running the HP-UX 11.0 operating system and the Workstation Additional Core Enchancements (ACE) for HP-UX 11.0 (November 1999) or HP-UX 11i operating system and the Hardware Enablement Bundle (HWE) for HP-UX 11i (June 2001) to accommodate the PA8700 upgrade. Use the command uname -r to determine the version of your operating system. For example, it should report B.11.00. if you are running an HP-UX 11.0 operating system. If the workstation is running an older version of HP-UX, update the operating system software before continuing. Use the command: /usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle to view what software products are loaded in your system. If the bundle list includes B6261AA, HP-UX 11.0 with ACE (Nov., 1999), or HWEnable11i, HP-UX 11i with HWE (June, 2001), you do not need to update HP-UX. 2. Determine the workstation's LAN ID by entering the following command: /usr/sbin/lanscan. The output is similar to the following: Hardware Station Crd Hardware Net-Interface NM MAC HP DLPI Mjr Path Address In# State NameUnit State ID Type Support Num 2.0.2 0x08000970ECC0 0 UP lan0 UP 4 ETHER YES 130 Record the LAN ID here.
