Auto-Port Aggragation and netstat -in

[MTSU_SAN]

When I first installed APA software, and configured my lan100 and lan101, the netstat -in command showed the standby, but with an asterisk next to it. Now, netstat -in does NOT show the standby, even though sam shows it. Also, I cannot reset the card with lanadmin. I did get some lan card failure messages, but I've always assumed they were because I have four ports not connected to anything. Any ideas?

Jerry,

Please see the following document:

http://support2.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000060579504

This document describes the problem you are seeing. It also recommends patches, checnges to configuration, etc.

HTH,

Jerry,

You may also want to look at this configuration and test document:

http://support2.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000062139536

You should also verify that you have the latest cumulative APA patch PHNE_26773.

HTH,

Dave

I don't think those documents apply, because I've got all of the configuration done, and it worked correctly for a while. I'm trying to figure out why it changed! These are my lanscans:
Hardware Station Crd Hdw Net-Interface NM MAC HP-DLPI DLPI
Path Address In# State NamePPA ID Type Support Mjr#
5/1/0 0x001083F7260E 4 UP lan4 snap4 4 ETHER Yes 119
LinkAgg0 0x0060B0B222B5 100 UP lan100 snap100 7 ETHER Yes 119
LinkAgg1 0x001083F706B0 101 UP lan101 snap101 8 ETHER Yes 119

lanscan -q
4
100 0 3
101 1 2

So everything shows up fine, just lan101 no longer appears in netstat -in:

Jerry,

It appears that the -i and -r options of netstat have changed. Here's the document:

Thanks for the info, but this has only changed within the past couple of weeks, with no patching in between, so I don't think it is that, either.

Jerry,

Can you give me some information on your system and lan cards. Also I'm assuming you're running HP-UX 11.00, is this accurate? Lastly, what do you get if you do an ?

I have two boxes--same symptoms (they will be nodes in SG cluster someday).
V-2500 has four HP A3738A PCI 10/100Base-TX Ultimate Combo
cards, two each on lan100 and lan101 as lanscan -q shows.
rp7400 has two HP A5506B PCI 10/100Base-TX 4 port cards with similar set up as V. ifconfig lan101 shows "no such interface" on both boxes. But, lanscan and Sam show they are up. This started just recently, and correct (I think) behavior lasted through several reboots on Nbox.

Sorry, yes, 11.0. APA B.11.00.16

Jerry,

Okay, the obvious questions:

1. Do you have a link light on all interfaces?
2. Do you have an occasional activity light on all connected interfaces?
3. Have you performed a linkloop from lan100 to lan100 of the second node (or lan101)?
4. What does the output of dmesg show?
5. Have ANY configuration changes been made to the network (host or switches)?
