Error when trying to configure HP Network Teaming

[Marek Konecny]

Dear all,

I have a few w2k servers using network teaming on 2x NC7781 adapters (integrated on ProLiant DL380). Teaming was configured after the system installation and is working. However, when I start 'HP Network Configuration Utility 7' now I get a message: "An error occurred due to invalid data in the XML file used by this application. The XML file has been corrupted and should be reinstalled from the installation media". After closing this message second message is displayed - "RaisePropertyUi Failed: 0x8000ffff".

I have upgraded to latest NIC driver and HP Network Configuration Utility versions, but problem persists.

Systems are:
ProLiant DL380 (2x NC7781 integrated)
Windows 2000 Server SP4
StoneSoft StoneBeat Security Cluster
Trend Micro IMSS / IWSS

Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you ever get a resolution to this problem, as I now have exactly the same error on identical hardware and software.

If you do have any further info please email me at Mgiles@csc.com

Thanks

Martin.

I just had similar, and the reason was one nic was set for DHCP and the other was not. I set both for DHCP and all was fine.

Hope this helps.

Rgds,

Kevin.

We've had the same problems as you describe.

The solution was to uninstall the NICs from the Device Manager and have W2K install them again after a scan for new hardware.

The problem occurs with newer NIC driver running with older Network configuration utility. Upgrading to the latest Network configuration utility fixes the issue.

I also have this problem and cannot solve it. Does anyone have any more ideas?

As Vijay mentioned above,

Version 7.70 of the Network Utility released on 18 Aug 2004, fixes this specific issue.

Actually version 7.70 does not resolve this issue because I didn't get this error before I installed 7.70. Are there any other solutions?

[Martin Lebeau]

I have the same problem on one DL380 with 2 X NC7781 NIC and the same problems on one ML370 with one NC7781 and NC7770.

To this date, I have the latest network drivers and the latest HP network config utility.

Problem persist

help !

I have only had the problem since upgrading to 7.70.

Any other ideas anyone?
