By default, SMH changes the current APA configuration and saves the information and APA
configuration to the
/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaconf
,
/etc/rc.config.d/
hp_apaportconf
, and
/etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii
files, which maintains the modified
APA global parameter changes across reboots.
Performing Critical Resource Analysis
Critical Resource Analysis (CRA) provides usage analysis for interfaces (ports and link aggregates).
This includes applications that are using the interfaces. To perform CRA, do the following:
1.
Select a link aggregate in the APA main page to display the detailed view of the link
aggregate.
2.
Click
Perform CRA
to perform CRA and to display the results in the
Critical Resource
Analysis
page.
3.
Click
OK
to display the APA main page.
Stopping FEC or LACP protocol
In some cases, a port is set to run LACP or FEC, but the link partner does not run the same or
the port cannot be trunked. The port will remain not trunked, but still running one of the two
automatic negotiation protocols. You can typically see these ports on the APA main page.
To stop the LACP or
FEC
automatic negotiation protocol on a selected port, do the following:
1.
Select a port with LACP or FEC in the APA main page to display the detailed view of the
port information.
NOTE:
You can only stop the LACP or FEC protocol on a port that is not in a link aggregate.
2.
Click
Stop LACP/FEC Protocol
to display the
Stop LACP/FEC Protocol
page.
3.
Select the
Configuration Options
you want, if different from the default.
4.
Click
OK
to stop the LACP or FEC protocol. An Operation Successful page appears,
confirming the stopping of the protocol and the updating of the APA configuration.
5.
Click
OK
. The APA
main page
displays.
By default, SMH changes the current APA configuration and saves the information and APA
configuration to the
/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaconf
,
/etc/rc.config.d/
hp_apaportconf
, and
/etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii
files, which maintains the Stop
LACP/FEC Protocol changes across reboots.
Logging messages to the syslog.log file
You can enable the logging of APA and LAN Monitor status messages to the
syslog.log
file.
The status messages are a subset of the messages APA logs to the
nettl
log file, but are reworded
for readability and understandability.
For information on configuring APA to log status messages to the
/var/adm/syslog/
syslog.log
file, see
“Modifying HP APA global parameters” (page 42)
.
Examples
This section contains sample status messages that might appear in the
syslog.log
file. In these
examples, a link is considered UP:
•
If its Operation Status (
ifOper
) is UP (the link can carry network traffic) and
•
If the link is part of a link aggregate and it has successfully negotiated via the protocol with
the link partner to become a member of the link aggregate.
A link is considered DOWN:
