I am running SunOS 5.9 on a Sun Blade 150 with a NI SCSI GPIB Controller (it is the external box style).
Often when I run "init 6" the device driver banner does not appear during bootup.
(The driver installed on the system is NI-488.2 GPIB Device Driver, Version 2.3.)
When this occurs the solution is usually to cycle the power on the GPIB controller box and run "init 6" again.
Do you know what causes the driver to sometimes not load during bootup?
If I can't prevent this problem from happening, than maybe I can find a quicker way to resolve it when it does happen...
Is there an ibic command you recommend (maybe ResetSys) that can reload the GPIB driver without rebooting the workstation?
Is there any way via software to cycle the GPIB power?
Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Scott
