phys_addr

Hello all,
I cloned a system to another system, but when I want to configure the network the following error apears:
change_phys_addr: unable to change physical address.
Error: lan0 interface|nmid 4: old station address=0x080009e75413
error expected primitive 0x06, got DL-error-ack
dl-error-primitive=0x33
dl-errno=0x04
dl-unix-errno=6

Anyone any idea?

greetings, Alfons

Hoi Alfons,

# cd /etc/rc.config.d
# grep 0x080009e75413 *
remove the old mac address from the file.

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

Is the machine you cloned the same model as the source? On older machines, some LAN interfaces cannot have their MAC address changed. Other than for the specialized Service Guard setup, hardcoding a MAC address is always going to lead to these types of problems. Go through /etc/rc.config.d and locate all references to STATION_ADDRESS in the files hp*conf. Then reboot your system and the error should go away.
