lanadmin

martin wells_1 — Tue, 22 Feb 2005 09:10:40 GMT

One of our lancards is showing as down when using lanadmin -x lan1. The system is running HPUX 11i

This was working fine earlier today but I tried to connect via our ignite server and this didn't work and since then I can't get the lan up. Its showing as enablled in sam and up with ifconfig.

Is there a way to bring it up with lanadmin?

Thanks

You could try

lanadmin -> lan -> reset

I have tried reseting it but it still shows as down?

I can't get to the machine to check the cable but it was fine earlier today

You could try linkloop to try the basic connectivity if you know/can determine the MAC address of the problem card.

I'm getting to output below

Link connectivity to LAN station: 0x00306EF4CD9B
error: expected primitive 0x30, got DL_ERROR_ACK
dl_error_primitive = 0x2d
dl_errno = 0x04
dl_unix_errno = 57
error - did not receive data part of message

I have never used linkloop before. Is it linkloop "macaddress"?

Yes, as in ...

# linkloop 0x1083f9a4b2
Link connectivity to LAN station: 0x1083f9a4b2
-- OK

I think there is a problem, if even linkloop is not working.

Thanks for your help

Can you run linkloop on the same server as has the lan card, if that works, it indicates a cabling problem. If it doesn't it indicates more of a card problem.

Hi,
What does "lanscan" command report. What H/w State it is showing.

I doubt about the NIC failure...

Linkloop is not working on the server with the lancards and lanscan is showing all up. I think its a cable issue.

Thanks for the help!
