Spreadsheet Mapper 2.0

We've improved our Spreadsheet Mapper tool! Some of the new features include:

Determining the VendorID and DeviceID




To determine the VendorID and DeviceID do the following:





1. Boot from the latest ZENworks Imaging bootcd found on download.novell.com
   
2. At the imaging
   menu select "Manual mode".
   
3. An error will occur saying that the network module was not loaded,
   select"OK".
   
4. This will get the user to a bash prompt.
   
5. Once at a bash prompt type 'hwinfo --netcard'.This will give information
   about the network card in the workstation.
   
6. Look for Vendor, Device and Driver:
   
   • Example: Vendor: pci 0x14e4 "Broadcom" and Device: pci 0x169b and Driver:
     tg3
     
   • The hex values will be the numbers passed using the newid parameter. Write
     the hex values down for vendor and device IDs
   • Reboot the workstation and get back to the Imaging menu.
     
   • Once at the imaging menu type a newid command - in our example here it would
     be this:
     newid="0x14e4 0x169b,tg3"
     (Make sure quotes are used as in this
     example and the only space that's used is between the two hex values.)
     
   • Then select Manual mode and see what happens. If it does not load
     automatically it is more than likely a new driver will be needed
     and compiled. For compiling drivers see documentation on Adding or updating LAN cards.



If the driver is loaded automatically then this parameter can be added to a
file for PXE
or one of two different files for the bootcd. See below for details.
