APA Configuration Help needed

[vasanth_2]

Hi All,

We are facing issues while configuring APA in our hp-ux 11.23.

We are trying to configure APA Lan monitor for lan900(with two ports lan0 & lan4) and lan901 (with two ports lan1 & lan5)

Please help me in solving this issue.

Thanks in advance
Vasanth

How about a hint ? ;-)

What's going wrong?

What are you doing, and what's the error?

Are lan900 and lan901 operational to begin with? (lanscan -q)

What do you have in the /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii file?

What do you have in /etc/rc.config.d/hpapaconf and hpapaportconf?

You need to do a linkscan and test the link between the working card and another one's MAC address eg. linkloop -i (instance #) (MAC address of 2nd NIC card)

If good then you can proceed and modify /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf

Stop APA daemons
/sbin/init.d/hplm stop
/sbin/init.d/hpapa.stop

Then restart daemons
...hpapa start then ...hplm start

Run /usr/sbin/lanqueryconf -s to create /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii

run /usr/sbin/lanapplyconf

Jim Keeble/Jacques Carriere,

Thanks for your quick replies. I tried everything as per the document and itrc forums and finally found there was a mismatch in speed under /etc/rc.config.d/hpietherconf. Issue solved.

Thanks again
