HP-UX 11i LAN/NFS server problem

[Edmund Manabat_1]

Good Day! I am having problem with my HP-UX 11i server. I reboot the system and it failed in the LAN cofiguration and it hangs in the NFS server(not responding). Can anyone help me because i cannot boot the system anymore.

hi,

r u saying there is no network connection from your adapter to known IP addresses? did u try to ping any IP addresses? also, is the network card down, i.e.

# lanscan
check if the "Hdw State" of the card is down/up.

regards.

hi!
here is the step i have done:
1. delete lan0 in the settings:based on the application that i am installing.
2. reboot the system
3. On boot: shows FAIL in LAN config.
4. Boot stopped in NFS server setting
so i cannot boot the system.

*I tried to disable LAN and NFS but still no good
*I check lan0 setting, it is enabled.

Is there any way i can recover my system?
what is the real cause of this?
thanks.

regards

Most likely causes:(suspects).

1) A typographical error in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf or a backup copy of netcong. This will totally mess up the networking.

2) Actual failed network card(dmesg) unlikely.

3) Lan cable or wiring issue(not likely)

Ctrl-shift-/
at the console can sometimes force the system through this to boot.

At the console or via gsp you can issue an rs which will boot the box again.

Intervene at the 10 second prompt.

bo

Y to interact

hpux -is

This will boot in single user mode without networking.

You may be able to issue a

mount /usr

command and then run setparms and redo the networking on the box. Then you will be able to boot and your system should come up clean.
