Ignite and auto-port aggregation

[Peter Lachnitt]

Hello,

we test auto-port aggregation on a rp-3440 with hpux 11.11 and 2 NIC's. The apa is manually configured (Failover only).
That's all OK. This server is our Ignitesever and I want to install a new Client from this Server (boot lan.192.123.23.11 install). Day's ago without apa installed that was no problem. Now wenn I start then installation
the Igniteserver lose his netwokconnection.
Only a reboot helps. A newinstall from the Igniteserver to a client works. Any Ideas??

Regards Peter

My ignite server has 3 interfaces -- 2 are on APA (Failover) and used as the main interface (hostname) and 1 is used for a separate subnet. I can use both interfaces APA and the non-APA to ignite clients from either networks. No problems as well with Ignite Backup.

I am using Ignite-UX 5.35.

Can you elaborate further what actually happens? Do you mean the Ignite Server hangs when a client attempts to boot lan to it and your only recourse is to reboot the Ignite Server?

Hi, Peter,

Can you give more details?
Did the ignite server stop work after APA was installed on the "ignite server"?
If that is the case, can you post /etc/rc.config.d/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii
/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaconf
/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf?

Also, what do you mean "A new install from the Ignite server to a client works"? Do you mean that "after reboot, everything works"?

Hi Nelson & Xianjie

I use Ignite B.5.4.50
The Ignite server is still running, but the network hangs on the ignite server if a client request a install (boot lan. xxxxx)
In this case no ping, telnet .... works on the ignite server (reboot helps). If I made a "newinnstall" from the ignite server for a client (has a os installed and is up) this works well.
