Upgrade to HP11.23 (from HP11.11)

[Mark Parsons]

Hi,

I have recently upgraded my RP5470 from HP11.11 to HP11.23 but I'm having trouble being able to connect to and from the box via the network.
If I do a nslookup of another box I am getting the following error:

"# nslookup 10.129.48.10
*** Can't find server name for address 10.129.48.10: No response from server
*** Can't find server name for address 132.220.120.20: No response from server
*** Can't find server name for address 10.64.135.16: No response from server
*** Default servers are not available
Using /etc/hosts on: dcbk1"

A telnet comes back with the following:

"# telnet 10.129.48.10
Trying...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable"

I've missed something really obvious. I didn't have this trouble when I upgraded another box a few weeks before.

All the networking details were supplied as per when the box was HP11.11

#
# SUBNET_MASK: Subnetwork mask in decimal-dot notation, if different

#
# BROADCAST_ADDRESS: Broadcast address in decimal-dot notation, if

#
# INTERFACE_STATE: Desired interface state at boot time.
# either up or down, default is up.
#
# DHCP_ENABLE Determines whether or not DHCP client functionality
# will be enabled on the network interface (see
# auto_parms(1M), dhcpclient(1M)). DHCP clients get
# their IP address assignments from DHCP servers.
# 1 enables DHCP client functionality; 0 disables it.
#
# INTERFACE_MODULES: A list of modules to be pushed on a stream
# associated with an interface. For example,
# INTERFACE_MODULES[0]="mod1 mod2 ... modN-1 modN"
# pushes modN on top of modN-1.
#
# For each additional network interfaces, add a set of variable assignments

#
# ROUTE_DESTINATION: Destination hostname (in /etc/hosts) or host or network
# IP address in decimal-dot notation, preceded by the word
# "host" or "net"; or simply the word "default".
#
# ROUTE_MASK: Subnetwork mask in decimal-dot notation, or C language
# hexadecimal notation. This is an optional field.
# A IP address, subnet mask pair uniquely identifies
# a subnet to be reached. If a subnet mask is not given,
# then the system will assign the longest subnet mask
# of the configured network interfaces to this route.
# If there is no matching subnet mask, then the system
# will assign the default network mask as the route's
# subnet mask.
#
# ROUTE_GATEWAY: Gateway hostname (in /etc/hosts) or IP address in
# decimal-dot notation. If local interface, must use the
# same form as used for IP_ADDRESS above (hostname or
# decimal-dot notation). If loopback interface, i.e.,
# 127.0.0.1, the ROUTE_COUNT must be set to zero.
#
# ROUTE_COUNT: An integer that indicates whether the gateway is a
# remote interface (one) or the local interface (zero)
# or loopback interface (e.g., 127.*).
#
# ROUTE_ARGS: Route command arguments and options. This variable
# may contain a combination of the following arguments:
# "-f", "-n" and "-p pmtu".
#
# For each additional route, add a set of variable assignments like the ones

# DEFAULT_INTERFACE_MODULES contains a default list of modules to be
# pushed on a stream associated with an interface. For example,
# INTERFACE_MODULES[0]="mod1 mod2 ... modN-1 modN" pushes modN on top
# of modN-1.
#
# Precedence rules:
# 1) The module names specified in INTERFACE_MODULES[] for the specified
# interface overrides the modules in DEFAULT_INTERFACE_MODULES. For
# example, INTERFACE_MODULES[0]="foo" and
# DEFAULT_INTERFACE_MODULES="m1 m2", then the module list applied
# will be "foo".
#
# 2) If INTERFACE_MODULES[] is set to null string, then the module
# names specified in DEFAULT_INTERFACE_MODULES will be used for the
# specified interface. For example, INTERFACE_MODULES[0]="" ( or
# INTERFACE_MODULES[0]= ) and DEFAULT_INTERFACE_MODULES="m1 m2",
# then the applied module list will be "m1,m2".
#
# 3) If INTERFACE_MODULES[] is explicitly set to "NONE", then no module
# list will be applied for the specified interface. For example, if
# INTERFACE_MODULES[0]="NONE" and DEFAULT_INTERFACE_MODULES="m1 m2",
# then there will be no -m option applied to the interface.
# Restriction: The module name can't be "NONE", and "NONE" is not
# case sensitive.

Shalom,

Make sure any backup copies of netconf are not in /etc/rc.config.d . Duplicates will be read twice by network and that will result in no networking at all.

netstat -rn

Please post.

I suspect update-ux hosed something. update-ux should not be used for major version upgrades. I base that on experience. I'm just beginning this week to see how it does at updating the OE within a major version, using DRD, but have never had any consistent success with update-ux for major version upgrades.

Can you ping the default gateway?

[Mark Parsons]

1) Just to let you know that I ran a cold install.

2) # netstat -rn

127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 U 0 lo0 0

3) Default gateway can be pinged

The route entries in netconf are commented (#). Check this.

Torsten - you are a star! It was so obvious!
