Lan on boot fails!

[sandro ginnari_1]

On startup I get a FAIL message on my LAN interface.
I had a look at th rc.log file and I found the suggestion to launch:
netfmt -pc /var/adm/conslog.opts

The output was null, nothing happened!:(
can someone help me???

Thanks

Really need more info on this ie exact error in /etc/rc.log, H/W and the O/S, was the box ignited etc ....

at a guess there was a known issue at 10.20 that produced similar errors on J -Class systems

Fix was to :

"export TERM=hpterm" inserted in "/sbin/rc2.d/S300nettl", right
above the "nettl -start" statement.

Hi..


Find out wether the lan device is detected in PDC (by interrupt boot process),
If its detected by PDC. you may have the problem with configuration.please checkup the following..

1) #ioscan -fnC lan ( see your lan device H/W status and Interface status,If H/W status shows "unclaimed", that means lan card driver not installed properly. If S/W status shows "unclaimed" that means your lan card configuration problem.

If both shows "claimed",Check up your lan card interface type configured by you (for example ethernet; ethernet/IEEE802.3; fastethernet)

2)If you connected with "Switch",you need to checkup your Duplex mode also.

Duplex mode can be set by using PDC (only for workstations 7xx systems)

Duplex mode can be configured in /etc/rc.config.d/hp100baseconf file (only servers 8xx system)
