Network Configuration Mismatch for

FLECHABUS — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:57:23 GMT

Good day all

I received an error triggered by ONCommand System Manager, warning me about a mismatch between the Active Values of my Nework Interfaces and the ones on /etc/rc.

On /etc/rc i got

hostname Epo

ifgrp create multi storage -b ip e1a e1b

ifconfig e0m `hostname`-e0m 113.10.10.116 netmask 255.255.0.0

ifconfig storage `hostname`-storage 172.17.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 partner storage nfo

routed on

options dns.enable off

savecore

I am probably missing something, but the Oncommand says that e0M is the wrong one.

Any help aprreciated!

Regards.

You need to compare the values in the /etc/rc file with the output of the ifconfig -a command.

Changes to the network interfaces can be made dynamically via the command line interface which is then the "active" value. When Data ONTAP is running, changes made by the ifconfig command will be in effect until the next time that Data ONTAP reboots or until the source /etc/rc command is entered via the command line interface.. At reboot time, the "active" values are replaced by the values in the /etc/rc file.

Hope this helps!

Hi Ken, thanks for the reply.

I do know that, that is why my ifconfig -a output gives me the same configuration that the one i have loaded on the /etc/rc.

But for some how the On command keeps pointing me that there is a mismatch.

Regards!

Hi Jose!

Could you post the output of the ifconfig -a command. Also, what version of System Manager and Data ONTAP are you running?

This is the output

Have deleted ALL the ip assignments on the /etc/rc and add the ips on the /etc/hosts only, and that has worked.

For some reason the both archive definitions doesn't work at all (Data Ontap 8.1.2).

Hope this was useful to someone.
