Not able to configure Lan on Virtual Machine

[Corporate Unix01]

Hi All,

I am configuring Virtual machines on Itegrity system. Configured APA by using 6 PNIC's and assigned it to virtual switch and shared this virtual switch between 2 Guest Machines but lan HW state is Down and not been able to kape it up.

o/p is as,

# lanscan
Hardware Station Crd Hdw Net-Interface NM MAC HP-DLPI DLPI
Path Address In# State NamePPA ID Type Support Mjr#
0/0/1/0 0x3EE2AEF7EA27 0 DOWN lan0 snap0 1 ETHER Yes 119

thanks in advance.

[melvyn burnard]

ok, what is the status of the aggregate on the Host?
lanscan
netstat -in

and how are the vswitches configured?
hpvmnet -v

Should look initially like this.

hpvmnet -v
Version A.03.00.00
Name Number State Mode NamePPA MAC Address IP Address
======== ====== ======= ========= ======== ============== ===============
localnet 1 Up Shared N/A N/A
vmsw1 4 Up Shared lan1 0x0017a451ee1c 10.20.1.100

Hi,

Probably your virtual switch if down. By default if you do not set explicit option when creating the virtual switch the status of the switch is down and then you need to boot it by executing:
hpvmnet -b -s switch_number
