[Omar Al-saiari_1]

hi

we are trying to boot new vpar(integrity) partation to do the installation for hpux 11.23.
the problem we select the network card for that vpar it does not get connect to the ignite server (the vpar and ignite server in the same network)
can you help us

[melvyn burnard]

what symptoms do you get?
Will the vpar boot up to the Ignite menu screens, but not then go and install from the Ignite server?
If so, you have selected a network card that may not have physical connection to the network.
Check the card and cables you are using, possibly use linkloop from a running vpar to the card you wish to use to verify this

Shalom,

Analyze network traffic and processes on the target server.

If nothing shows up on tcpdump/ethereal and no new processes get fired up then its a networking issue.

If there are signs of change its a server configuration issue. In this case look at /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log for more details.
