what's the comand syntax to craete vswitch when VM host using APA ?

[Tingli]

As we know, APA can be configured on the VM Host to provide a highly available LAN for the vswitch (APA in active/passive mode)

what is extactly command syntax I can use when I create a vswitch ? for example
# hpvmnet -c -S vswitch-name -n nic-id
what's the value for nic-id when I use APA on VM host ?
Thank you if you response!

The nic-id should normally be lan900 for the first APA nic, lan901 for the second, and so on. Just run lanscan or nwmgr (on an 11.31 VM host only) to see what's available.

[melvyn burnard]

the NIC id is as the Host sees it.
Therefore if you have an APA config with lan900, use the 900 number for the -n option, and again for 901 if you have a second APA at lan901

Tingli,

Please do a
# lanscan -q

for apa ports it will say
900
901
902


hence if the vswitch 'vswitch1' has to be created on APA lan 'lan900' then :

# hpvmnet -c -S vswitch1 -n 900
