[rana786]

Hi All,

I have attached the ping result from the router to server. In the attached JPG file you will see the ping string â !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQâ ; there Q-means destination is too busy. APA is configured as manual in all the HP Servers. So we need solution to solve this issue as soon as possible. All the HP servers are now connected to the Cisco switch. So I have mentioned below the current and final Cisco Switch info.

Shalom,

This is a common problem caused by using network bonding or APA on a Cisco switch that has been configured in a way that does not permit this.

Assuming APA is configured correctly, the most likely issue here is switch configuration.
