cfg lan - ifconfig: check plumbing error

[Paulo Afonso Bruno]

Hi

I have B1000 Server with HPUX 11.0 and when I try cfg lan0 with ifconfig the problem happen ...
#ifconfig lan0 (ip)
ifconfig:check plumbing error

the patches bundle are installed:
XSWECO223
XSWECO224
SWGR110
SWHWCR1100

Obs: the lanscan and ioscan -nfC lan
it's OK

thanks

This problem is caused by not starting /sbin/init.d/net.init before the /sbin/init.d/net script.

HP-UX versions prior to 10.30 did not have an /sbin/init.d/net.init startup script.

Hello,

problem is that the lancards have not been initialized correctly before
assigning IP addresses
You can manually get around it by running the following commands:
/sbin/init.d/net.init start
/sbin/init.d/net start

Check if someione changes the sh to ksh. It might be that the shell is changed before the scripts are called

Hi,

Make sure you have a link called S008net.init
in the /sbin/rc2.d directory.

This should point to /sbin/init.d/net.init

In this case, when entering init mode 2, your system should automatically configure the network interfaces.

Make sure that your default run level is set properly; check for "initdefault" in /etc/inittab (should be 3)
