missing lan2

[Ceesjan van Hattum]

Hi,
On hpux11i we have a 4-ports interface card.
Now, we're trying to use the 2nd port.
(1st already in use).
But we are failing to configure it.
Lanscan shows:
lan 2 0/10/0/0/5/0 btlan CLAIMED INTERFACE HP A5506B PCI 10/100Base-TX 4 Port
But, `lanscan` does not see lan2, only 1,3 and 4.
We tried to configure lan2 editing netconf and
even 'sam' says: not configured.
It returns us the following errors:

ERROR: lan2 interface | PPA 2 : error: expected primitive 0x06, got DL_ERROR_ACK
dl_error_primitive = 0x33
dl_errno = 0x04
dl_unix_errno = 16
change_phys_addr: unable to change physical address
Old Station Address = 0x00306e460ea1
up: Device busy

Can anybody tell us what is happening?
Greetings,
Ceesjan

Hi CeesJan

# grep 0x00306e460ea1 /etc/rc.config.d/*

Try to uncomment the MAC address.

hi,

what about the o/p of
ll /dev/lan*
ll /dev/dlpi*
ll /dev/ether*

regds,

Robert-Jan: no mac addresses found in /etc/rc.config.d/*

bhavin asokan: all lan,dlpi and ether devs found. Nothing is missing.

A few possibilities you may or may not like:

1. Maybe it is a duff interface card and needs replacing. Try a power-off reboot and see if that fixes it.

2. Maybe it is stuck in auto-negotiation with the switch and is not responding to requests. Try unplugging the cable, then plugging it in again. Then check that the configuration of the switch port matches the server.

3. Maybe some point in configuration you have lost a device file, so the o/s cannot configure the interface. Try insf -H 0/10/0/0/5/0 then see if lanscan sees it.

4. Maybe you have a duplicate interface device file, two with the same minor number and lanadmin is actually trying to re-configure another interface, or seeing the same one twice. (rmsf -H ... ; insf -H ...)

Just a few ideas.

I think you may be looking at a broken port.
What does lanadmin show you ?
