• The port is not an Ethernet port or is not supported by HP
APA.
• The port is down. Wait for the port to come up. Verify that
the port is connected to the switch correctly. If it is, reset the
port.
5. Save the current configuration with the following command:
# nwmgr -s -A all --fr cu --sa -S apa
All ports UP?
NO
YES
Verify the active ports in the failover group by issuing the following
command:
# nwmgr -v -c lanxxx
where xxx is the failover group instance number.
The Active Port(s) field lists the active ports.
If there are ports in the Not Ready Port(s) field, verify the port's
operation status by issuing the following command:
# nwmgr --st -c lanxxx
where xxx is the interface number.
If the Operation Status is UP, wait 30 seconds to see if the port becomes
ready or active. If it does not, see the steps for Link partner

# nwmgr -r -c lanxxx
NOTE: Only reset physical ports, not link aggregates that are members
of the failover group.
If the port does not appear in the Ready Port(s) list, delete the port and
add it with the following commands:
# nwmgr -d -A links=port-number -c lanxxx -S apa
# nwmgr -a -A links=port-number -A mode=LAN_MONITOR -c
lanxxx -S apa
Save the current configuration with the following command:
# nwmgr -s -A all --fr cu --sa -S apa
If the Operation Status is DOWN, do the following:
