I need to configure a new NIC card into the my DEC 8400 AlphaServer? Can someone explain to me the proper way to do this? I am a novice Tru64 unix person?

thanks,

You can accomplish this by doing the following. I hope this helps all.

1. #shutdown -h now
2. >>> boot -fi "genvmuinx" -fl s
3. #bcheckrc

At this time you need to check all devices old and new to besure they are
seen.

4. #scu show edit
5. #ifconfig -a

If all are not seen you will need to move controllers to get them all seen.

If all are seen then rebuild the kernel.

6. #doconfig

use default for kernel config file ( HOST-NAME )
replace config file " YES "
select " all above " for kernel options
correct " YES "
edit the config file " NO "

Move new kernel over old kernel and boot.

# mv /sys/host-name/vmunix /vmunix
# shutdown -r now
