Impossible to delete an Auto Port Aggregation with smh

Hello,

 In order to perform tests, I've created an APA with SMH on my hpux 11iv3 serveur.

Interface Name Subsystem Interface State Ports in Link Aggregate Mode IPv4 Address IPv6 Address
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lan900 hp_apa UP 1,2 LACP_AUTO xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Not Configured
lan901 hp_apa UP 7,6 LACP_AUTO xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Not Configured
lan0 iether DOWN Standalone MANUAL Not Configured Not Configured
lan3 iether DOWN Standalone MANUAL Not Configured Not Configured
lan8 iether DOWN Standalone LACP_AUTO Not Configured Not Configured
lan9 iether DOWN Standalone LACP_AUTO Not Configured Not Configured
lan902 hp_apa DOWN None Not_Enabled Not Configured Not Configured

I whant to delete lan902 but it's impossible.

I've tried :

my_sesrver:/ # nwmgr -d -A links=all -c lan902
Deletion of links all ports from lan902 succeeded.

And restart hpapa (/sbin/init.d/hpapa stop then /sbin/init.d/hpapa start)

but the line lan902 is still present in SMH.

I've modified the files /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaconf and /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf to delete the configuration related to the lan902, restart hpapa but the lan902 is still present in smh

Interface Name Subsystem Interface State Ports in Link Aggregate Mode IPv4 Address IPv6 Address
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[...]
lan902 hp_apa DOWN None Not_Enabled Not Configured Not Configured

 

Can you help me to properly delete the lan902 ?

Thank you,

Regards,

Antony

Re: Impossible to delete an Auto Port Aggregation with smh

Hello AntonyZEL,

 

First let me apologize for the delay in our reply.

 

I understand that you have created APA lan902 for testing purpose and deleted using nwmgr command (# nwmgr -d -A links=all -c 902) and got successful message. However you still see lan902 in SMH. Am I correct?

The command used to delete APA aggregate is correct.

you can also check for CRA (critcal Resources Analysis). Before removing one link aggregate it is highly recommended to check if there is any application using it.

# nwmgr --cra -c lan902

You cannot completly remove lan900 to lan904 from the nwmgr / smh output.

By default it will show 5 aggregates. If the aggregates are not configured it will display down under interface staus for nwmgr.

# nwmgr

Hope this clarifies.

Thank you for your answer.

Here is the result of the command. I think the link is properly deleted, but the problem is in the smh menu.

In the smh menu, it creates a session here : /var/sam/sessiondirs/root. The ApaMainScreen.menu contain :

</list>

The file ApaMainScreen.menu is created dynamically each time we opan sam/smh.

Can you tell me which file is used to generate the menu ? Why smh create a menu with lan902 ?

 

Thanks,

Re: Impossible to delete an Auto Port Aggregation with smh

Hello AntonyZEL,

 

I simulated this in my test box. I created a dummy APA aggregate lan900 only with lan3 successfully using SMH.

I was able to successfully delete it in SMH and after refresh, it is not showing up.

1)  May I know the impact due to this issue?

2) Is it working with other HP-UX servers? If yes, are the other servers are in same patch level wrt ncweb, smh?

3) I was able to successfully delete the APA info from SMH. I've mentioned the patch and ver of ncweb and SMH.

4) Please update the above mentioned updates and check if the issue persists.

Hope this helps.

Re: Impossible to delete an Auto Port Aggregation with smh

Thank you very much Bhagw_p for the time you took for this problem.

I've rebooted de server and now the lan902 is no longer displayed in SMH.

Thanks,
