Network not working after fresh install

[Jonathan Caplette_1]

Hi guys,

I had a HP-UX 11.31 server that was up and running with a fixed IP. I've been asked to re-install from DVD's this server. which I did...

I re-installed the same OE version (VSOE) of HP-UX 11.31 . I've not done the previous install.. This is my first step with 11.31.

On the installation menu, I configured the network with the same IP, netmask, and gateway than it was set before the re-installation and was working.

No cables are uplugged, I've tried to configure each of my lan port even if they are not supposed to be on the same VLAN, just to give a try... Nothing works...

I cannont even reach my gateway. I tried linkloop to another server and it returns me OK, so I guess my cable is OK..

Am I missing something??

Did you assign the IP before the install or after (during the dialog)?

Maybe the IP was configured for another LAN than lan0, now it is lan0.

Fix it by running

# set_parms ip_address

(you can only configure ports with a cable connected)

Can you display the outputs of olrad -q, lanscan, and an abbreviated version of /etc/rc.config/netconf and /etc/hosts files?

Also how are resovl.conf and nsswitch.conf configured?

Here is the info that can help you... I also tried to do a APA after all my tries... I was not expecting results of this... but that's what is configured...

You're using APA software? did you look in smh under network interface config -> auto port aggregation? I've included the link to the admin guide for v3.

http://docs.hp.com/en/J4240-90045/J4240-90045.pdf

It also contains a troubleshooting section.

Have you tried to configure the getway after installation.
