Configuring a PXI System in Linux

[larry_s]

I am trying to recognize PXI-6723 and PXI-6250 cards installed in chassis PXI-1045  using controller card PXI-8336 and PCI-8336 in PC.  Following this thread: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/0D17FF318206CFE6862570DF000C0151

linux-f6ir:/usr/local/natinst/nipxi/sbin # ./nipxiconfig -l

List of identifications:

Chassis 1 (Unidentified)
  Slot 1:  PXI-MXI-4

linux-f6ir:/usr/local/natinst/nipxi/sbin # ./nipxiconfig --identify-controller "National Instruments" "NI PXI-8336"
ERROR: Could not find controller.ini for National Instruments NI PXI-8336
Run 'nipxiconfig --list-identifiable-controllers' for a list of controller models.

linux-f6ir:/usr/local/natinst/nipxi/sbin # ./nipxiconfig --list-identifiable-controllers

List of identifiable controllers in
/etc/natinst/nipxi/HardwareDescriptions/controllers

"National Instruments" "NI PXI-8174"
"National Instruments" "NI PXI-8175"
"National Instruments" "NI PXI-8176"
"National Instruments" "NI PXI-8184"
"National Instruments" "NI PXI-8185"
"National Instruments" "NI PXI-8186"
"National Instruments" "NI PXI-8187"
"National Instruments" "NI PXI-8195"
"National Instruments" "NI PXI-8196"
"National Instruments" "NI-8140 RT Series"
"National Instruments" "PXI-8150 Series"
"National Instruments" "PXI-8150B Series"
"National Instruments" "PXI-8170"

Found 13 controller.ini file(s)

So the ini file for the controller I have (PXI-8336) is not in the path

/etc/natinst/nipxi/HardwareDescriptions/controllers

Did I not install something correctly so am missing the ini file?

After I loaded the chassis I then reloaded LabVIEW 8.6 and the cards were recognized so all is working now.
