ATM - elan won't start

 

ATM - elan won't start

Hi,

I just installed 11i on an L2000 with 2 ATM cards. I've reconfigured everything as it was before on 11.00, but it won't come up. No errors, just no connection. The ATM is still connected to the network and the link lights are happy. Here's some stuff that will hopefully shed some light:

Rebooting no help. If I restart atm (/sbin/init.d/atm stop; /sbin/initd/atm start) I get this:

Any help?

Re: ATM - elan won't start

David,

It's been a few years, but I would look at a nettl trace during the start.

nettl -tn -e ATM ?? <- not sure on exact syntax.

Then start the ATM link. When it fails, turn off the trace and review. It should report what is the problem... I'm thinking a switch/connection issue.

Re: ATM - elan won't start

David,

I remember a few years ago I had a similar problem which was merely a timing issue.

the workaround was to add "sleep 10" at the end of the "start" case in /sbin/init.d/atm

Regards,
Bernhard

Re: ATM - elan won't start

Solved it. Turned out to be something ridiculously simple. 'SSM' != 'ssm'. It helps to have the elan name correct. Didn't notice the case-problem.

Thanks for your help.

Works now. See above.
