Verifying the AIX device driver software
Learn to verify if whether the AIX® device driver is installed for a PCI adapter.
To verify that the AIX device driver for an adapter is installed, do the following steps:
- If necessary, log in as root user.
- At the command line, type lslpp -l devices.xxxxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxxxx is the device package name.
- Press Enter.
If the adapter device driver is installed, the following is
an example of the data that is displayed on the window.
| File set | Level | State | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Path: /usr/lib/objrepos devices.xxxxxxxxxx | 5.3.8.0 | COMMITTED | Adapter name software |
Verify that the file sets are installed at the AIX version level you are running. Level 5.3.8.0 is an example. If no data is displayed on your screen, the adapter device driver was not installed correctly. Try reinstalling the driver.
