How to change mode for an aggregate.

Leif Halvarsson_2 — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 17:27:34 GMT

Hi,

Created a link aggregate using th following syntax: "nwmgr -a -A links=6,7 -A mode=MANUAL -I 901 -S apa"

Then I read that HP recommends using the LAN_MONITOR mode.

Anyone how know the correct steps to change mode from MANUAL to LAN_MONITOR ?

( got some problems when trying to just delete the aggregate)

i think that the '-s' or '--set'switch should enable you to change the mode. I think you can replace the '-a' with '-s' or '--set' and set the 'mode=' to LAN_MONITOR. you will need to update the /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf and set the HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE variable so that it is correct after reboots.

Before deleting the link aggregate, you should de-configure all IP addresses on it.

If you have any VLANs configured on lan901, remove them as well.

Then reconfigure the switch so that the switch ports for 6 and 7 are configured with no trunking enabled.

Now, you can delete the manual mode link aggregate:

nwmgr -d -A links=all -c lan901

Then you create the failover group:

nwmgr -a -A mode=LAN_MONITOR -A links=6,7 -A port_pri=5,3 -c lan901

Then configure the IP addresses on the Failover group.
