When you have finished making the GLS settings, check that the status of every virtual adapter is "Active". You can check the statuses of virtual adapters by executing the dsphanet command.
The following example shows the input format for dsphanet and the corresponding confirmation prompt.
> dsphanet Name Status Adapters +-------+--------+-------------------------------------------------------------+ sha0 Active Ethernet 1(ON), Ethernet 2(STBY) sha2 Active Ethernet 4(STBY), Ethernet 5(ON) |
If a virtual adapter is listed with its status as "Inactive", take appropriate action according to the information given in "Appendix E Troubleshooting."
If you have set ping monitoring, you can check its status by executing the dsphanet command with the -r option.
The following example shows the input format for dsphanet with the -r option and the corresponding confirmation prompt.
> dsphanet -r

If a physical adapter or ping monitor is listed with its status as "X", take appropriate action according to the information given in "Appendix E Troubleshooting."
For more details on the dsphanet command, refer to "6.3.1 dsphanet."
Point
Once you have checked that the virtual adapter is functioning normally, it is recommended to create a backup of the virtual adapter definitions in order to be prepared in the event of a system error. You can use the hanetbackup command to create backups.
To create a backup file named glsbackup of the virtual adapter settings on the C drive, execute the following:
> hanetbackup -f C:\glsbackup |
For details on backing up virtual adapter definitions, refer to "6.2.1 hanetbackup."
