configure LAN interfaces - FAILED

[kamleshkumar]

unable to configure LAN interaces after mistakenly installing HB-UX 11i patch GOLDQPK11i_11.11.depot on HP-UX 11 system

We tried removing the installed patch with SWREMOVE but it was unsuccessful as the process hangs with message contacting the target.... at the window where I presume the installed patches are to be listed.

Please provide any information on how to reconfigure the LAN interfaces or any othe possible solution. Thank you very much.

Not that this will help but,,,

/sbin/init.d/swagentd -r

Restart the daemon and try acain.

The network file is /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

First however try the ifconfig command and see if you can bring up the lan cards manually.

I hope you have a make_tape_recovery backup handy.

Post results.

I dont mean to scare you, but it is a serious problem.

Well, Any QPK or HW bundles once installed can not be reverted back. I would suggest you to restore the system configuration if you have Ignite backup recovery tape. Otherwise you might endup with facing various other problems due to incorrect patch sets.

As far as the LAN interface is concerned you can only remove the driver for the LAN Interface and reinstall it.

What is the model of the system and LAN Card.

Pl. send us the o/p of the following commands,

model
lanscan
ioscan -fnC lan
ifconfig lanX

Hi, I appreciate all of you helping me.
Here is the information requested.
For some reason the # ifconfig lan0 command did not return correct output.

Hi,

Try doing a,

ifconfig lan0 plumb
ifconfig IP_x.x.x.x Subnet_x.x.x.x lan0 up
ifconfig lan0

If it doesn't work then try reinstalling the btlan driver. You can get the product name using,
swlist |grep -i lan

swremove Prod_Name

then reinstall it using swinstall. You can find the driver in the HP-UX 11.00 Install media.
