ioinit can't change lan instance number

Jimmy Aulestia_2 — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 00:34:28 GMT

Hi,

I read other messages, but i don't view the solution for this case. When i try to change the instance number of a lan, i have the error

# ioinit -f infile -r
ioinit: Instance number 0 already exists for class lan.
Line 1. 0/0/1/0 lan 0

But there isn't a lan 0

Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
====================================================================
lan 4 0/0/1/0 igssn CLAIMED INTERFACE HP IGSSN PCI 1000Base-T Adapter
lan 1 0/0/2/0 igssn CLAIMED INTERFACE HP IGSSN PCI 1000Base-T Adapter
lan 2 0/0/4/0 igssn CLAIMED INTERFACE HP IGSSN PCI 1000Base-T Adapter
lan 3 0/0/5/0 igssn CLAIMED INTERFACE HP IGSSN PCI 1000Base-T Adapter

where is the problem that will not let me change the instance number?

I have a IVM guest with hpux 11.23

It would be interesting to see:

hpvmstatus -P -d

for this guest (obviously replacing with the name of the guest

Bonjour Jimmy,

Have you renamed both your /etc/ioconfig and /stand/ioconfig before rebooting to issue command "ioinit -f infile -r" ?

May be you should post the "infile"
