Hi,
I've been setting up a new NetBackup 5220 appliance for a few days. The initial setup went farily smoothly, I connected my laptop to NIC1 (192.168.1.1) and set NIC2 to my management IP address, 10.x.y.102. I continued on with the configuration from the comfort of my desk chair.
Now, for the actual backup traffic I want to use the remaining 4 1Gbps ports as a LACP bond and the networking guys configured a corresponding port channel on the cisco side of things.
In the web gui I could see eth2-5 as "connected up" and I set an IP address of 10.x.y.103 for a bond with these four NICs. Type 802.3ad.
Immediately after I click Apply, the web gui froze. So bad, my IE session got completely stuck.
Now nothing replies on ping, not 10.x.y.102 and certainly not 10.x.y.103. I obviously can't connect to the web gui or via ssh to my management ip.
I haven't configured IPMI yet, but I suppose I need to do that when I visit the site. I don't have first hand physical access to the equipment, so it's a bit of chore.
One question; maybe blindingly obvious to network folks. Is it problem with having both the management NIC2 and my intended bond on the same subnet: 10.x.y.0/24 ?
