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 nwmgr command, as follows:
# nwmgr
Name/ Interface Station Sub- Interface Related
ClassInstance State Address system Type Interface
============== ========= ============== ====== ============= =========
lan0 UP 0x080009D43696 iether 1000Base-SX
lan1 UP 0x0060B04B7B82 iether 1000Base-SX
lan2 UP 0x0060B04B7B83 iether 1000Base-SX
lan3 UP 0x001083953C1C iether 1000Base-SX
lan4 UP 0x001083953C1D iether 1000Base-SX
lan900 DOWN 0x000000000000 hp_apa hp_apa
lan901 DOWN 0x000000000000 hp_apa hp_apa
lan902 DOWN 0x000000000000 hp_apa hp_apa
lan903 DOWN 0x000000000000 hp_apa hp_apa
lan904 DOWN 0x000000000000 hp_apa hp_apa
The station address is 0x0060B04B7B83.
3. Verify that there is link connectivity between lan1 and lan2, as follows:
# nwmgr --diag -A dest=0x0060B04B7B83 -S iether -I 1
#
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 active
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 active 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 -s command to query the system for possible failover groups.
# lanqueryconf -s
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 92) 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.
