network card not detecting.

[walter crasto_1]

Hi ,

I am having HP ipf (Itnium) server, with HP-UX 11i loaded. Suddenly today we found that machne is not on network. When I check thru SAM it shows no network card instaled.
Thru "ioscan -fnC lan " command I can able to see the card & it shows me claimed. but thur "ifconfig lan0 up " command it gives me socket error.

Can can somebody tell me how to configure the lan0 card.

Regards

Varian,
you have to plumb your interface before configure it!!

#ifconfig lan0 plumb

and check it

#netstat -in

enjoy

Hi All,

Thanks for the reply.

I checked none of my file system is full. Also the exact error for ifconfig command is as below,
ifconfig: socket: operaton not supported

Also SAM gives error network card not installed. But "ioscan -fnC lan" shows device is present.

Also note that my server was running fine till today morning & now also server is up with all filesystem mounted but with out network.

regards

hi,

refer to this doc for the explanation given on /tmp full:

http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000076228916

another way as suggested is to unplumb.

regards.

What does lanscan and lanadmin show
look in the back of the server for any lights in the network port

ping loopback
