Network Drivers for HP xw6600 for suse9

This site tell you how to  install network drivers for HP XW6600 for SUSE  9

1)Download the driver from the following location.

    http://www.broadcom.com/

Download  linux-3.81c  file from that site.

2)Extract the files to a local directory of the machine.

3)Remember you need to have gcc gcc+ compliers installed in the machine or if you are starting a new installation please install the SUSE 9 complete version option while installation you get this option.

If already installed system go to YAST - software - Install and remove software
In the search box type gcc and search
Select all the gcc compilers and click okay and insert SUSE CD as asked. I am using SUSE 9 SP-4
same way gcc+ and gnu compilers if does not know what to install then select most of them.

4)Extract the files to a local directory
# mkdir /drivers
# cp -rf  linux-3.81c  /drivers
# cd /drivers
# unzip linux-3.81.c

5. Install the source RPM package:


rpm -ivh tg3-.src.rpm --aid --force

6. CD to the RPM path and build the binary driver for your kernel:

cd  /usr/src/{redhat,OpenLinux,turbo,packages,rpm ..}
rpm -bb SPECS/tg3.spec

or

rpmbuild -bb SPECS/tg3.spec (for RPM version 4.x.x)
 
Note that the RPM path is different for different Linux distributions.


The driver will be compiled for the running kernel by default. To build
the driver for a kernel different than the running one, specify the
kernel by defining it in KVER:

rpmbuild -bb SPECS/tg3.spec --define "KVER "
where in the form of 2.x.y-z is the version of another

kernel that is installed on the system.
7. Install the newly built package (driver and man page):


rpm -ivh RPMS//tg3-..rpm
is the architecture of the machine, e.g. i386:
rpm -ivh RPMS/i386/tg3-.i386.rpm

Note that the --force option may be needed on some Linux distributions
if conflicts are reported.

The driver will be installed in the following path:
2.4.x kernels:
/lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/tg3.o

2.6.x kernels:
/lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/tg3.ko

8. Load the driver:
insmod tg3.o

or

insmod tg3.ko (on 2.6.x kernels)

or

modprobe tg3

5. To configure network protocol and address,

go to yast and network devices - network card you should not able to see the network card is identified automatically just edit it and gives the ip subnet and DNS entries.
Building Driver From TAR File
=============================

The following are general guidelines for installing the driver.
1. Create a directory and extract the files:

tar xvzf tg3-.tar.gz

2. Build the driver tg3.o (or tg3.ko) as a loadable module for the
running kernel:

cd src
make
The driver will be compiled for the running kernel by default. To build
the driver for a kernel different than the running one, specify the
kernel by defining it in KVER:
make KVER=

where in the form of 2.x.y-z is the version of another
kernel that is installed on the system.

3. Test the driver by loading it:

insmod tg3.o

or

insmod tg3.ko (on 2.6.x kernels)

or

insmod tg3

4. Install the driver:
make install
See RPM instructions above for the location of the installed driver.

5. To configure network protocol and address,


Go to yast and network devices - network card you should not able to see the network card is identified automatically just edit it and gives the ip subnet and DNS entries

ORA 01172 recovery of thread 1 stuck at block 27269 of file 3 ORA-01151: use media recovery to recover block, restore backup if needed

Error: ORA 01172 recovery of thread 1 stuck at block 27269 of file 3 ORA-01151: use media recovery to recover block, restore backup if needed Cause: Crash recovery or instance recovery could not apply a change to a block because it was not the next change. This can happen if the block was corrupted and then repaired during recovery. Action: Perform a RECOVER datafile for the file containing the block. If this does not resolve the problem, then restore the file from a backup and recover it again. Are you archivelog or noarchivelog mode? Try this first 1. SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE; 2. STARTUP MOUNT; 3. RECOVER DATABASE; 4. ALTER DATABASE OPEN; If this does not work then you will probably have to do media recovery. The type of recovery depends on type of archive mode you are running. Look at alert log for additional info such as file needing media recovery. The type of file needing recovery also determines type of recovery.
