[jaivinder]

Hi Gurus,

I had changed the following kernel parameters in the HPUX 11i V3. After rebooting the server all the network interfaces are not coming up now.
Please assist.

Check the /etc/rc.log for messages first.

Hi,

These shows fail, As Torsten said check the file /etc/rc.log for more information

Hi All,

I had resolved the problem,The /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file was having issue.
Now it is running fine.

Thanks for your replies.

So this was not related and you didn't tell the whole story - I know tis very well.

Q: What changed?
A: Nothing.

[jaivinder]

Torson,

In the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file the last line was having issue.
Earlier it was :
ROUTE_ARGS[1]= 1500

and now it is
ROUTE_ARGS[1]=

And it resolved the issue. And it was mentioned in the /etc/rc.log

And it was a genuine problem,this entry was by OS.I had not edited it. It is a new server istallation.

Thanks for u r support.

Shalom all,

Common mistake is to make a backup copy of netconf in /etc/rc.config.d

Unless the name starts with a special character it gets read twice leaving you with no networking at all.

You are welcome.

You are a sys admin, you know the story too, I guess...

;-)

System is up, problem solved - that counts.
