Hi,

As you are using APA you need to find what ports are in the aggregate first:

lanadmin -x -i 900

Link Aggregate PPA # : 900
Link Aggregation Mode : MANUAL
Load Balance Mode : Hot Standby (LB_HOT_STANDBY)
Active Port PPA # : 1
Port(s) ready : 4
Port(s) not ready : NONE

then

lanadmin -x 1 (for lan1)

Speed = 1000 Full-Duplex.
Autonegotiation = On.

lanadmin -x 4 (for lan4)

Speed = 1000 Full-Duplex.
Autonegotiation = On.

them lanadmin -x PPA of binded LAN cards

kmsr3dev:/>lanadmin -x 2
Speed = 1000 Full-Duplex.
Autonegotiation = On.

hi,

-----------------------------
lanscan -qa
0x0014C2653073 3
0x0014C29C56D4 900 4 5

because your APA configuration bind LAN 4/5 to the lan900

lanadmin -x 4

lanadmin -x 5

lanadmin ==> lan ==> ppa ( 4 5 ) ==> display

Station Address ( MAC Adress )

Hi

You shall perhaps need to check the APA config.

your 900 shows ports 4 and 5, there is no port-mode defined and also no load balance mode.

check if 4 and 5 are reachable to one another.

#lanscan

note down the MAC Addresses of LAN 4 and 5.

#linkloop -i 4
#linkloop -i 5

then go to APA config. You can use SAM, go to Network and communications.

the most basic comfig of APA, set the Port mode for 4 and 5 to MANUAL and Load Balanace mode to MAC_BASED.

lan 4 and lan 5 should be compatible to APA and also the LAN Switch to which they connect should support APA.

then go to Network Interfaces in the Network and communications menu in SAM and add an IP to LAN900.

then exit from SAM.

#/sbin/init.d/hplm stop
#/sbin/init.d/hpapa stop

#/sbin/init.d/hpapa start
#/sbin/init.d/hplm start

Please before stopping and starting these services and modifying APA make sure that the applications are not affected.
