12.7.3 External Ethernet Connection Fails To Come Up
It is possible for an external Ethernet connection to occasionally fail to come up after invoking
the cluster_config --init | --migrate command. You may see messages similar to
the following in the /var/log/nconfig.log file:
Bringing up interface eth2: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot allocate
memory Failed to bring up eth2.
If the output from the ifconfig command does not contain the external interface, initiate the
ifup command. In the following example, external_device_name is the name of an external device
such as eth2.
# ifup external_device_name
Because this issue is intermittent, HP recommends that you initiate the cluster_config utility
directly from the console (and not remotely) in case you lose the external connection.
