LDOM_interface_not-working-ssh-not-responding
User complain, they can't login,
I tried to login, but I could not login. Ping not responding. Login through the console, and server was on up state. Checked ssh service, ok and running. interface up.
ping gateway, good. tried to ssh to outside, I can ssh to control domain and other server on the same subnet.
Checked the subnetmask and it was different. Nothing has ever been changed. Server is up for 66 days, nothing changed.
Surprise... I assigned the ip with correct mask and I am able to ping, and ssh to it. But it keep timeout after login into in less than 30 second. no message says what
really happened.
restart network and ssh, it start disconnecting in between 1-2 minutes. Interesting. Checked configuration on Control domain, interface and other virtual server on the
same interface are working just fine.
Requested to reboot the server.
server came up fine with correct ip and subnetmask but issue still the same. keep disconnecting within 2 minutes.
Went to control domain and assign a new interface from different physical interface. Pointed out the ip to new interface and started network services. It simply start
working fine since then. Interesting ....
1. Verify netmask info
# cat /etc/netmask
#
#
192.168.102.0 255.255.255.128
2. You have wrong netmask of ff000000
[root@sdmr-mw-v02]# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
vnet0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.168.102.104 netmask ff000000 broadcast 10.255.255.255
ether 0:14:4f:fa:c2:63
3. Reassign ip address Using correct mask
[root@my-ldm-v02]# ifconfig vnet0 192.168.102.104 netmask 255.255.255.128 up
[root@my-ldm-v02]#
[root@my-ldm-v02]# ssh 192.168.102.105
ssh: connect to host 192.168.102.105 port 22: Connection refused
[root@my-ldm-v02]# svcs -a | grep ssh

[root@my-ldm-v02]# svcadm refresh svc:/network/ssh:default
[root@my-ldm-v02]# svcs -a | grep ssh

8. Still problem, Now decided to add new vnet to the LDOM from different interface card.
Login to control domain add a vnet - NIC
Added new interface from different interface
[root@physical_serv-p01]# ldm add-vnet vnet2 primary-vsw3 my-ldm-v02
