HP Auto Port Aggregation Administrator's Guide HP-UX 11i v3 (766140-001, March 2014)

If the active port priority is greater than the intended port priority, modify
the priority value for the intended port (making it greater than the current
active port) with the following command:
# nwmgr -s -A port_pri=value -c lanxxx -S apa
Wait 30 seconds for the change to take effect. Verify the active port
again.
If the active port cost is less than the intended port cost, modify the cost
value for the intended port (making it less than the current active port)
with the following command:
# nwmgr -s -A port_pri=value -A port_cost=value -c lanxxx
-S apa
Wait 30 seconds for the change to take effect. Verify the active port
again.
Save the current configuration with the following command:
# nwmgr -s -A all --fr cu --sa -S apa
Verify that the ready ports are identical to the connected ports by using
the following command:
# nwmgr -v -c lanxxx
where xxx is the failover group instance number.
If the ready ports are different from the connected ports, some ports are
disconnected from the current active port. If the current active port is not
the intended active port, do the following:
1. Remove the port from the failover group with the following
command:
# nwmgr -d -A links=port -c lanxxx
Wait 30 to 60 seconds for the failover to occur. Then, verify the
ready ports and connected ports. If they are the same, the ready
ports are connected to the current active port.
2. Add the deleted port to the failover group. For priority-based failover
groups, enter the following command:
# nwmgr -s -A links=port port_pri=value -c lanxxx
where port is the port instance number and xxx is the failover
group instance number. The message indicates the reason the port
is not connected with the others.
For cost-based failover groups, enter the following command:
# nwmgr -s -A links=port -A port_pri=value -A
port_cost=value -c lanxxx
The message indicates the reason the port is not connected with
the others.
3. Save the current configuration with the following command:
# nwmgr -s -A all --fr cu --sa -S apa
If a remote host's network is not reachable, the following message is
displayed in response to the ping command:
network is unreachable
