4.3.11.1 Flowchart 10 procedures
• Enter netfmt and view the error and disaster log messages. For example, enter:
netfmt -vf /var/adm/nettl.LOG000
To help find proper logs, use the time stamp. Ensure you are looking at Ethernet information.
Note that the names of the NetTL log files are:
◦ nettl.LOG000
◦ nettl.LOG001
• If the problem is solved, continue to the ifconfig test (“Flowchart 11: ifconfig test” (page 53)).
• If the problem persists, run nwmgr -r -c lanppa to reset the card.
• If the reset is successful, perform the link-level test (“Flowchart 2: Link-level test” (page 42)).
Otherwise, reset the card once more; if it is still not successful, call your HP representative for
assistance.
