"Configure LAN Interface" FAIL
I have a number of B180L workstations running HP-UX 10.20.
I give them all the same image using Ignite-UX.
After installing image, some of them are OK, but some show a FAIL against the first instance of "Configure LAN Interfaces" on the Start-up screen (the second instance is OK). They all have different hostids in the netid 192.168.150 with mask 255.255.255.0. The set up (netconf) is same on OK hosts as on those that FAIL.
This is causing a problem with networked applications.
Can anyone suggest what might be wrong or, considering they are all from same image, could there be a hardware problem on hosts which FAIL (this is an old system, still using 10Base2 - so using transceiver on AUI port)?

Re: "Configure LAN Interface" FAIL
If the network, subnet are proper and then issue may be with the image archive and the configuration.
plz verify once again the settings

ioscan -kfC lan
If the LAN interfaces are different between each system, this is likely the problem. The FAIL condition is often due to driver config file errors. Check the status of the LAN with:
netstat -in
ioscan -kfC lan
lanscan
lanadmin

Re: "Configure LAN Interface" FAIL
In addition to the Bill's suggestion, please check whether the station's IP is defined correctly and equally in both /etc/hosts and /etc/rc.config.d/netconf files.

Re: "Configure LAN Interface" FAIL
I'm curious to know what is the symptom or error message that the networked applications see?

Re: "Configure LAN Interface" FAIL
One host is
If there are 4 hosts A, B, Y, Z with Z as the master and all working properly, a query of connected hosts would give A
If hosts A and B fail on "Configure LAN Interface"
Z and Y report Y
A responds A
B responds B
Unfortunately delving into this app would be far from straight forward!

Re: "Configure LAN Interface" FAIL
I have just discovered something strange. If I reboot one of the failing workstations either from the command line (shutdown -r or reboot) or by powering on/off with its on/off switch it fails as discribed above.
HOWEVER... if I crash the machine by turning the power off, when I reboot it (and after its fixed the file system) it boots OK and works properly (until rebooted). I have tried this on two failing machines.
Does this imply the network card is somehow being reset or something? Please let me know if you can think of the reason and therefore a solution. Thanks
