Hi,

I had problems with a linkloop to a secondary card in one of my servers.

This is the thread for it.
http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0xe8727bb04b5cd611abdb0090277a778c,00.html

In the end it turned out to be incorrect speed setting on the switch port.

Hope this helps.

Do you have an actual communication problem or is it just linkloop failing , if the card itself fails look at nettl.LOG file , you can find in in /var/adm , possibly you have 2 files

nettl.LOG00 and netll.LOG01 , take the most recent file (.LOG01) and format it ( you cannot read it ) , the way to do that is

netfmt -N -l -f nettl.LOG01 > filename

this will result in a readable file , you could see HW errors comming from the interface there , you will also notice any cable problem in here

If that is ok , look at linkloop usage ,when you use linkloop all request are sent to the card with the lowest(first) instance , even linklooping a second interface , to avoid it look in man pages of linkloop , there is a way to specify the instance number of the card you want the linkloop to leave on

Is the second lan card attached to the same physical network as the first? If not then I'm not surprised your linkloop is failing, as you aren't telling linkloop which interface to send the link test out of - look at the '-i' option on linkloop.... Try:

linkloop -i 0x

on 10.20, or

linkloop -i 0x

on 11.x
