Cd to the HP-UX 9.0 version directory of the software: # cd /tmp/Phobos/HPUX90 2. Run the fe_install command in that directory # ./fe_install More information can be gained from the INSTALL and INSTALL.manual files in that directory. ---- IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT UPGRADING FROM RELEASE 1.2.0 (all versions of HP-UX) When upgrading from a earlier release you must check the speed and duplex settings of your adapter(s). This is necessary since the new auto speed sensing code uses the serial eeprom storage in different way. New cards are shipped with the default of auto speed and half duplex. You can check the speed and duplex settings with the command: # /usr/bin/fe_control Please see the man page for fe_control on how set the card for 10bt, 100bt or autosense and half or full duplex.
