Hello,
I am trying to move an HP UX from one locaion to another. The new location don't have any Fiber switches.
On the back of my server I see 2 RJ 45 for console management the other for networking , the server also has a fiber NIC card. When I disconnec the fiber and want to user regular Card (with RJ45) the network drops!
Can the second NIC rely on the first one? What are logical connections??
Any help??
Thanks
That will be two distinct comms interfaces. There is no failover mechanism.
Try "lanscan" to see what is LAN cards are fitted and to find out each "lanN" number then run "ifconfig lanN" to find out whether the LAN card in question is configured with an IP address. If not, it is a case of deconfiguring the fibre card and configuring the card in question with an IP address. If I was doing this I would change the IP address of the fibre card to an unused address then insert the original IP address into the card in question.
Changes to IP comms are best done from the physical console while using an adjacent workstation for tests.
Be sure to save this file before making any changes:
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf
