Problem performing dynamic operation

[wganesh22]

Recently during monthly maintenance activity we notice on one of the VIO a SEA was in defined state. After verification we found that participating virtual ethernet was in defined state as well. We notice that in manged profile I can see the adapter (no. 13) present but activated profile it is missing. So we went ahead and removed the defined ethernet from VIO with rmdev -dl eth5 command and tried to add it again with dynamic operation but failing every time with below message.

"HSCL151A A trunk adapter already exists on one or more of the same VLANs as the trunk adapter being added, and the configuration of the two adapters is not compatible. Please verify that the trunk priorities of the two adapters are different, and that the two adapters participate on all of the same VLANs."

anyone has any idea on this?

As the error message mentions "trunk adapter" - I would verify that both trunk adapters (I am assuming double VIOS config for failed SEA takeover) have different priorities stored.

Literally - that is what the message is saying:
a) trunk priorities are different
b) PVID values are equal
c) added VLANs are equal

Correct.

Changed the values and re-entered. It worked. It was my mistake.

Thanks for suggestions.

your welcome - thx for the feedback.

Your question, and some questions from a customer have me reviewing the "guidelines" for SEA atm. A lot has changed - imporvements specifically for 10Gb adapters, e.g., as well as just making life easier.

The title will be something such as: "Farewell ctr_chan".
