at the OK prompt
do "watch-net-all
it should check for your network devices.

also try reset-all at the ok prompt

Hi joules,

the reset-all command will reset all the configurations?

 

by: joules17Posted on 2009-11-04 at 07:58:15ID: 25740618

no it wont reset configuration, it is just like powercycle,
it resets the scsi bus, nvramrc counters, and sets default values to the parameters in OK prompt,
