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.
