Can't figure out what is up with this restore, have been working on it for several days and nothing seems to work...

Any help appreciated....

I hope the lan being used is from core I/O card.

Did you check the SEA o/p? Does it shows the lan interface ???

Whats the server model ??

The client is an rp7420 server, and it currently only has the built in LAN port, so yes we are using the core LAN port...

I guess there is a problem with the lan port.
status Value: -7 means "Nonexistent device - The device address specified is a valid device address. However, it points to either a device that is not installed and/or not responding."

Refer page 15 of the following doc:
