APA errno = 219

[Redhat]

Need valuable input for APA configuration erroe.

I'm getting the following error while appling lanapplyconf
ERROR: APA could not set LM Configuration for Fail-Over Group lan901. APA errno = 219.
ERROR: Creating Fail-Over Group failed lan901

Both the NIC is 100FD. and the ascii file contaains:
FAILOVER_GROUP lan901
STATIONARY_IP 138.35.254.64
PRIMARY lan1 5
STANDBY lan2 3
and hp_apaportconf file contains
HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan1
HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE[0]=LAN_MONITOR
HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan2
HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE[1]=LAN_MONITOR

If either of these lan1 or lan2 have an IP address assigned to them, you need to disable this by downing and unplumbing the interface prior to running lanapplyconf command

ifconfig lan1 down
ifconfig lan1 unplumb
ifconfig lan2 down
ifconfig lan2 unplumb

then

lanapplyconf

make sure, if you are coming in thru lan1 or lan2 via ssh (or god forbid telnet) your connection will die. So, it is best doing such configuration from the system console.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
try to unplumb the lan2 first, and restart the lanapplyconf
look at this thread

after unplumbing lan2 the error remain same

But once you make lan2 plumb and then apply lanapplyconf .We are getting fresh error stating:
Reading ASCII file /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii
STANDBY port lan2 has an IP address configured, Fail-Over Group lan901 will not be configured
Exiting: Error verifying input file /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii

unplumbing lan2 doesn't solve the issue. Is there any known solution?

Have a brand-new install of the APA software on a legacy 11.11 system, with exactly this problem, 2nd port is not defined - or configured anywhere - and trying to bring up lan900 give us the same error.

Literally followed the example for creating a Failover Group off of page 107 of the HP-UX 11iv1 Admin Guide - only the IP is different.
