server doen't communicate with network

[Bakang Moatlhodi]

I have just upgraded a k380 server from unix 10.20 to hp-ux 11.0. I now have a problem because it is failing to commnunicate with network. i have set the ip address, gateway and the subnetmask. The lan card shows that it is enabled. The product number for the lan card is A3495-60001 .

I need help very ugently..

What does ifconfig lan0 return, and what is the link light on the card doing?

Try to verify LAN connectivity and see:

# linkloop 0x001083E00F50
Link connectivity to LAN station: 0x001083E00F50
-- OK

Hi,

A3495A is HP-PB 10/100 lancard. Check the speed settings on the card.

#lanadmin -x P

where P is the PPA of the lancard. If it is lan1, the ppa will be 1.
If it is supposed to be 100 Full duplex, then change the speed

#lanadmin -X 100FD P

Edit /etc/rc.config.d/hpbasetconf and add the interface and speed as below to survive the reboot

HP_BASET_INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lanP
HP_BASET_SPEED[0]=100FD

Hi,
was the correct card plugged ?

Did the card have auto-negotiation ON (which is the default)?

My doubt is that your upgrade phase did a little mess with lan naming, and now it is confiugred a lan that you don'tuse.

Is there any UNKNOW/UNCLAIMED/NO_HW in the ioscan ?

HTH,
Massimo


BTW i'm trying to send this answe for the 3rd time... hope it is not getting here too many times..

After Shridar' test, you may find you need to hard code network configuration in the following file:

/etc/rc.config.d/hpgsc100conf

or

hpfcsc_lanconf

depending on NIC type.

Example:

HP_GSC100_INERFACE_NAME[0]=lan0
HP_GSC100_STATION_ADDRESS[0]=
HP_GSC1--_SPEED[0]=100FD

Thank you for your response
Mark
The we are using is lan4 and the output from the command you sent is ok and the link light is just on. What is it supposed to be doing?

twang
linkloop command you said I should try is failing

Sridhar
The speed of the card is 10

Massimo
The the card is plugged in correctly.
When i do an ioscan it shows that it is claimed ans there is no no_hw.

Steven
I haven't tried you suggestion.

Thank you all, i will be grateful if you send in more answers.

Hello,

I noticed you said there is no_hw; How about insf -e?

Hope this helps

Hi Bakang,

Just to get it clarified. Were you using 10 HalfDuplex or 100 Full Duplex before on 10.20?. If it was 100 Full, then you can use the command

lanadmin -X 100FD 4

to reset the card to 100 Full Duplex.

If the link light is on solid, you have a good physical connection. If it is blinking, you have a bad connection. If it is out, you have a bad card. It sounds like you have a good physical connection, and your problem is most likely configuration.

Verify that the switch/router is set to the same speed and duplex as the card.
