How to find cabling status of an LPAR?
Hi
As part of project we need to build the new LPAR. In new frame network card and cabling setup has been done. after configuring LPAR for network install ,ping test is failing? I am not able to find issue with cabling or network part or network adapter side?

... and for the ping test - no typos with IP address of the LPAR, IP address of the NIM server, IP address of the gateway and no typos with the subnet mask??

Hi Woolmilkporkji
This envrionment is different. Here No lpar build has been completed yet. with above onformation how find cabling is done or not ?
could you explain your below statement with example output please?
"
With this information at hand you should be able to check whether this slot actually has an ethernet cable plugged in, whether this cable is damaged or not, to which port of your network switch/hub it goes, and whether this port is configured correctly!"

Hi Woolmilkporkji
We are from remote support. Server is located in some other country. LPAR builder was saying that ping test was failing and he had asked me to troubleshoot on this. On that time from HMC, I was trying to check cable status and so raised this question. After that from network team update we find that cable was missing. Now it is ok. We were tried with Ip address of ,LPAR, Gateway and subnetmask. But still ping is failing. what IP address do we need type while setting up network boot?

You have to specify:
- LPAR address (configured on NIM server as standalone client)
- NIM server address (this address is also the target of the ping test)
- Gateway address if LPAR and NIM server are not in the same subnet (must be in the LPAR subnet and provide a route to the NIM subnet)
- Subnet mask (must match Gateway mask)
