58 Troubleshooting HP APA
Edit the /etc/rc.log file and search for the string hpapa. This takes
you to the beginning of the HP APA start-up section. If there are
NO
failover groups configured on your system, the following message
indicates an error:
ERROR: lanapplyconf failed
If there are no failover groups configured on your system, you can
ignore the error message.
If you see error messages about link aggregate attributes, do the
following:
1. Stop HP APA with the following commands:
# /sbin/init.d/hplm stop
# /sbin/init.d/hpapa stop
2. Correct the attribute in the appropriate configuration file.
3. Restart HP APA with the following commands:
# /sbin/init.d/hpapa start
# /sbin/init.d/hplm start
Search for the string hplm in the /etc/rc.log file. If there are failover
groups configured on your system, the preceding message indicates
an error. If there are no failover groups configured on your system,
you can ignore the error message.
Also look for any driver and network errors.
Do the following:
NO
1. Verify that the network card is seated correctly and that it is
operational.
2. Check that your network physical port connectors between the
NIC and the switch (or wall plug) are fully connected.
Verify that the NIC has been claimed by the operating system. Issue
the following command:
NO
# ioscan -fkC lan
If the driver has been claimed, the driver name appears in the Driver
column and CLAIMED appears in the S/W State column for the lan
class and hardware path. See
(page 81) for more information on ioscan.
If the software state is UNCLAIMED, do the following:
1. If the class is unknown and driver is UNKNOWN, the interface driver
has not been generated into the kernel. Verify that the /stand/
vmunix file contains the appropriate keyword for the NIC you
are using with the following command:
# what /stand/vmunix | grep -i driver-name
For example, if you are using the 1000Base-T NIC, the igelan
keyword appears. If it does not, you must edit the file and create
a new kernel. For information on how to do this, see the Installing
and Administering LAN/9000 Software manual.
2. Verify that the NIC is seated correctly and that it is operational.
3. Reboot the system.
