I have recently purchased two BL860c i2 blades and a BL860c i1 blade in a c3000 chassis. These are Itanium and are running HPUX 11i v3. The two BL860c i2 blades have an embeded 10Gig network card that shows 16 NICs. The c3000 has a network passthru module that provides 4 ports to each blade. I have a 1gig network module in Mezz2 and that goes to a 2nd passthru module.
I am setting this system up for the first time and I'm running through the hardware makeing sure that everything works. The SAN works, the 1gig network works. But when I configure the 10Gig networking, It does not work.
The first 10Gig port is on lan0. It shows UP when I plug it into a switch, and down when I remove the connection. So I have confirmed that I am in the right port. When I have blade1 and blade2 10Gig connections plugged into a flat Nexus switch, they can't ping each other. I then plugged both of them into a Cisco 6509 just incase they didn't like the nexus switch. It still didn't work. I have two Solaris system with 10Gig NICs that I used as a control group. I plugged them into the same switches. They can ping each other, but not the BL860c i2 systems.
I then took a small fc cable and connected the two BL860c i2 servers to each other without a switch between them. This worked, they could ping each other. I then connected a Solaris server directly to one of the BL860c i2 servers. No ping.
So I have these two BL860c servers that can only ping when they are conencted directly to each other, but fail when connected to any switch or directly to other servers. I am hoping that there is some 10G setting that I do not know about that I need to use to get this working. I just used defaults and smh to configure the ports.
