lanscan problem

Azaru — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 15:53:51 GMT

Hi All,

I am unable to get the output from lanscan command.
When i try to take ignite backup i am getting the following error

dbnode:root-/usr/sbin>/opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -s 172.17.112.171
* Creating NFS mount directories for configuration files.
ERROR: "lanscan" command did not return lanic id's for the system.
ERROR: Failed to create NFS mount directories for configuration files.

======= 04/11/09 22:19:28 IST make_net_recovery completed unsuccessfully

I hope this is the right place to find the fine solution for this issue.

Thanks in advance
azaru

What happens if you run the lanscan command from the command line?

# lanscan

What does this show?

Hi Patrick,

It shows nothing.

dbnode:root-/>lanscan
dbnode:root-/>

Thanks

That would seem to suggest there are no lan interfaces in the system visible to lanscan - perhaps a missing driver. What does ioscan -fk show - does it show any lan class interfaces?

Shalom,

This condition occurs when all lan interfaces are not working or not installed.

The ioscan output is likely to show a NO_HW warning, if an NIC interface is installed on the system.

Hi all,

Please check the optput of #ioscan -fnC lan

dbnode:root-/>ioscan -fnC lan

We have installed NIC and its driver is still there.Even its not showing NO_HW status.I don't know what may be the wrong thing.

Thanks

Hi azaru,

which is OS HP-UX version?

I've already faced the issue on lanscan command which returns no output and I know 2 reasons for that:

1- check that lanscan executable is not of size zero:

ll /usr/sbin/lanscan

2- did you boot the system from an alternate kernel (for example /stand/vmunix.prev)? If so then it's expected. Try to run

lanscan /stand/vmunix

and check if it's returning an output.

Hope this helps you.

Best regards,
Fabio
