1.Connect lan1 and lan2 to the same switch or to different switches or hubs on the same subnet.
NOTE: Be sure that trunking is not enabled on the switch ports.
2.Obtain the station address for lan2 by issuing the lanscan command, as follows:
# lanscan
Hardware | Station | Crd | Hdw | NM | MAC | |||
Path | Address | In# | State | NamePPA | ID | Type | Support Mjr# | |
8/8/2/0 | 0x0060B04B7B83 | 2 | UP | lan2 snap2 | 3 | ETHER | Yes | 119 |
8/12/2/0 | 0x0060B04B7B82 | 4 | UP | lan4 snap4 | 4 | ETHER | Yes | 119 |
8/8/1/0 | 0x080009D43696 | 1 | UP | lan1 snap1 | 5 | ETHER | Yes | 119 |
10/12/6 | 0x001083953C1C | 0 | UP | lan0 snap0 | 6 | ETHER | Yes | 119 |
8/12/1/0 | 0x001083953C1D | 3 | UP | lan3 snap3 | 7 | ETHER | Yes | 119 |
LinkAgg0 0x000000000000 | 900 | DOWN | lan900 snap900 9 | ETHER | Yes | 119 | ||
LinkAgg1 0x000000000000 | 901 | DOWN | lan901 snap901 10 | ETHER | Yes | 119 | ||
LinkAgg2 0x000000000000 | 902 | DOWN | lan902 snap902 11 | ETHER | Yes | 119 | ||
LinkAgg3 | 0x000000000000 | 903 | DOWN | lan903 snap903 | 12 | ETHER | Yes | 119 |
LinkAgg4 | 0x000000000000 | 904 | DOWN | lan904 snap904 | 13 | ETHER | Yes | 119 |
The station address is 0x0060B04B7B83.
3.Verify that there is link connectivity between lan1 and lan2, as follows:
#linkloop
Link connectivity to LAN station: 0x0060B04B7B83
--OK
#
If there is no link connectivity, resolve the connectivity issue between the devices.
4.Verify that an entry exists in the /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf file for the and standby interfaces that sets the interfaces' port configuration mode to LAN_MONITOR.
HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan1
HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE[0]=LAN_MONITOR
HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan2
HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE[1]=LAN_MONITOR
5.Activate the configuration by entering:
#/sbin/init.d/hplm stop
#/sbin/init.d/hpapa stop
#/sbin/init.d/hpapa start
#/sbin/init.d/hplm start
6.If the device to be the link does not have the desired IP address, enter ifconfig to assign the IP address. Also add an entry to the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file to assign the IP address permanently (or use SAM to do it).
#ifconfig lan1 192.1.1.153
7.Enter the lanqueryconf
#lanqueryconf
ASCII output is in the /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii file.
a.Verify that the content of the ASCII file is valid. Enter lancheckconf:
#lancheckconf
b.View the contents of the /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii file and verify that it contains the configuration information you want.
#cat /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii
See “lanconfig.ascii File” (page 100) for an example of this file.
c.Verify that /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii has the failover group configured, as planned.
# cat /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii
d.Edit the file, if needed, and enter lancheckconf again.
