netconf reload and APA

[Daniel Sanabria]

Hi All,

Does anybody knows what would be the process to reload the netconf settings on an environment where APA in LAN_MONITOR mode is used?

/sbin/init.d/net stop|start doesn't seem enough ... maybe stop hplm and hpapa first? can anybody confirm?

Cheers!

You probably need to manually unplumb the interfaces. If you look at the /sbin/init.d/net script the stop function does nothing.

e.g.
ifconfig lanx down
ifconfig lanx unplumb

If changing routes or the lanx that the routes are on then you will need to manually remove them as well.

then rerun /sbin/init.d/net start

The IP stack and APA really are independant of each other.

Hi Daniel

Did you look at start/stop scripts in
/sbin/rc<#>.d/S.... and /sbin/rc<#>.d/K....

I think you must stop and start daemons with same order in these folders.

thanks guys!

unfortunately I'll need to wait for a maint window to try again. The server is not yet in production but the customer has very strict rules about restarting certain interfaces ... there are other ports connected to switches that will defenetely generate an alarm if the port goes down and I believe the net script will restart all the interfaces.

Cheers,

For Lan Monitor, you will have to stop and start /sbin/init.d/hplm after the lanqueryconf, lancheckconf and lanapplyconf.

Cheers.
