Added entries in netconf after restore from network recovery archive causes error

[Michel Breugom]

Hi all,

After I created a network recovery archive and restored it on a system I noticed that a few etries where added to the netconf file that were not in there when creating the network recovery archive.
These are the added ones:

# DEFAULT_INTERFACE_MODULES=""
INTERFACE_NAME[1]="lan6"
IP_ADDRESS[1]="0.0.0.0
::"
SUBNET_MASK[1]="0x0
0"
INTERFACE_NAME[4]="lan8"
IP_ADDRESS[4]="0.0.0.0
::"
SUBNET_MASK[4]="0x0
0"


All entries that were in there when creating the network recovery archive seem to be there after the recovery and do work fine. But the ones that were added by Ignite are causing the following error:

I also tried to remove these interfaces when recovering but I could not find a way to deselect them.

Configure LAN interfaces
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S340net start":
----------------------------
ERROR: lan6 interface: ::: bad value
ERROR: lan8 interface: ::: bad value
"/sbin/rc2.d/S340net start" FAILED

I'm running Ignite version Ignite-UX-11-23, C.6.0.109.

Does anyone know how to fix/overcome this problem or is this a caveat of Ignite itself that has to be fixed by HP?

If you remove those two entries in netconf and restart machine. You will not be prompted with this error.

Check with lanscan and lanadmin that what are all the lan settings are available. Else use sam directly to get lan configuration?

hth.

Hi Muthukumar,

I know how to solve the problem afterwards but it would be nice if one could restore from a network recovery archive without having to modify the netconf afterwards.
So the question should probably be why is Ignite adding these lines to the netconf if there aren't any IP addresses assigned to these interfaces?

You should be able to remove the settings and:

/sbin/init.d/net stop
/sbin/init.d/net start

Probably better to restart your system.

I would say you need to make a minor change when you create the Image archive to exclude these settings.

Since a make_net_recovery is an image of this machine, restored back to this machine one of a few conclusions comes to mind.

1) These settings were on the machine when the archive was created.
2) Ignite is broken.

If it's two, please contact the response center and let them know what the bug is and how to reproduce it.

The problem can be solved as indicated by changing the netconf after a restore. But I expect this to be a Ignite problem in combination with MC/SG since the interfaces causing the problem are in use (standby) for MC/SG.
