Pls help me to resolve this problem!

Many thanks.

Hi Vu,

The group capability of both LAN cards in the same port aggregation (like lan900)should be same. Try setting

HP_APAPORT_GROUP_CAPABILITY[0]=2
HP_APAPORT_GROUP_CAPABILITY[1]=2

Here is my working hp_apaportconf file:

HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan1
HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE[0]=MANUAL
HP_APAPORT_PRIOTITY[0]=5
#
HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan0
HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE[1]=MANUAL
HP_APAPORT_PRIOTITY[1]=3

Hope this helps.

Hi Navin Jain,

After changed:

HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan1
HP_APAPORT_GROUP_CAPABILITY[0]=3
HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE[0]=MANUAL

HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan5
HP_APAPORT_GROUP_CAPABILITY[1]=3
HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE[1]=MANUA

The same Error appearance:
#lanadmin -X -a 1 900
Error: Group capability mismatch for port 1

Hi Vu,

After changing Group Capabilities, you have restart the APA by using the command:

/sbin/init.d/hpaapa

Hi Vu,

After changing Group Capabilities, you have restart the APA by using the command:

/sbin/init.d/hpaapa stop
/sbin/init.d/hpapa start

BEWARE: This would stop the network interface lan5. If this is only interface connected, you would loose connectivity. So login on the console if you execute this command or reboot the server if this is a possibility.
