Interface State =DOWN, Probable Cause for State = Cable disconnect

[Taurian]

Hi All,

I am getting the message when I run the command for lan1:

*-*---------------------------------------------------

# nwmgr -g -v -c lan1
lan1:
   Interface State =DOWN
   Probable Cause for State = Cable disconnect
   MAC Address = <MAC>

The strange thing is that this is a blade enclosure with Virtual Connect cards. I can't seem to bring the lan1 up. On the adjecant blade server, the lan1 is up and working fine!

Please help!

You should double-check the vc settings, if the ports are not configured correctly, you won't get a link.

Hi Torsten,

Thanks for the reply.

As this is a 870c server, the VC shows the port for lan1 to be "Bay 2, LOM 1". I don't understand why the port of the auxilary blade server is mapping in the VC server profile. How do I work around this?

Why not?

From the OA/VC point of view this is a single server.
