HP Blade BL20P RedHat AS4 network not working

[Jarrox]

Hi I have 6 BL20p servers installed with RedHat AS4 with all packages installed, when I try to access the network I get a destination unreachable. Now the thing is I had AS3 installed on the same servers before and everything worked but once I goto AS4 the network is down. I looked at the networked configuration and it seems that the correct drivers are loaded and the cards are saying active but I still can't access anything on the network from any of the servers not even eachother.

is there something special i need to do for AS4 to use the network cards? or is there a update for the HP blades that i need to install for it to work?

P.S i also installed the latest psp pack and still nothing happened.

Please post the output of:

ifconfig -a; sleep 10; ifconfig -a
netstat -nr
ethtool eth



Stop the firewall
service iptables stop

the only way to get them to u was with screen shots so here goes...

It would be better if you copy and paste the outputs of the commands.

Anyway, from the output of the first command, it can be seen that ethtool reports that no link is detected.

I'm using the HP remote console to access the servers and with that i can't seem to cut and paste.... i know the link is good cause like I said before everything on the server is the same..the only difference now is that I re-installed to AS4... also I can see the nic light on the blade is active...

OK I just tryied setting a Dynamic address and it worked but when I try to set the address as Static it's unable to reach the network

[Jarrox]

Any Ideas why this is happening? i must have a static address because of oracle... but whenever i set a static address i am unable to get on the network...

Can you ping the ip address on eth0 from another box on that subnet?

what is the output if you try to traceroute to that other box from your troubled unit?

[Jarrox]

O i found the problem... what happened was when the servers were AS3 they used eth0 and when they went to AS4 somehow they are now using eht1
