A little handy, internal ibm-use only app that i got my hands on says that:
2793 c07
2849 c06
2849 c05
disk ctl c01

is a valid config for v5r2 9406-800 and in fact, THAT was the config i had
on one of my 800's when i was just starting to play with LAN Console.
So, just do that wrkhdwrsc and find the CMN0X, create the line description,
the ip address and voila, network is running...

Best Regards,

This may not be technically supported but I wouldn't worry about the
configuration. The 2838/4838 are just older cards with exact capability as
the 2849 and they are physically bigger by a bit.

Take a look in wrkhdwrsc and see what you can find in each slot. Look for
possibles an "occupied slot" or a failed card.

Hi all,

recently I finally managed to perform a scratch install (LIC and OS) of
my 9406-800.
I swapped the Twinax IOA for another 2849 network card; I had no Twinax
console in my possession, so I changed the system to LAN console.
Now I had 1 #2849 for the LAN console, and another #2849 for the regular
network.

Last time I IPL'd and wanted to configure the regular network, I didn't
recall seeing an unconfigured network card; I thought it was my
inexperience with i5/OS, so I decided to start Googling.

I soon found a lot of contradicting information. My System Planning Tool
(legacy) told me that I couldn't use two 2849's with the embedded IOP, but
a combination of one 2849 and one 4838 was valid (or two 4838's). Other
(IBM) documents told me that any combination of 2849's and/or 4838's (up to
a maximum of two cards) was ok.

Does someone have some experience with this? Can two 2849's work with
the embedded IOP in my 9406-800? I don't mind getting another network card
(4838) if needed, but I'd like to be sure that in the end I'm not stuck
with a load of cards I can't use :)

Regards,

Rene,
Holland.
