LAN Indication Provider
Causes Critical Resource
Analysis to Return Data
Critical Result
When the LAN Indication Provider is enabled, a Critical
Resource Analysis (CRA) of an Ethernet interface will
return a data critical result. The CRA is executed before
replacing the PCI online card through SAM, olrad, or the
PCI attention button.
What To Do
Install the Data Link Provider Interface (DLPI) patch
PHNE_35545. With this patch installed, CRA results will not
be impacted by the LAN Indication Provider. DLPI patch
PHNE_35545 is available at the HP IT Resource Center:
http://itrc.hp.com.
Without installing this patch you can still proceed with an
online card replacement by performing the following:
• Review the CRA report and determine if an online
operation on the slot will be safe for the systems
operation.
• If the output of lanadmin -p <PPA> shows only
cimprovagt for the affected PPAs (Physical Point of
Attachments) then it is safe to use olrad's force -f
option to proceed with the replacement. See the
manpage, olrad (1m)for more information on the -f
option command.
