1 Replicate Agent Settings tool  
Introduction  
The HP Network Configuration Utility (NCU) enables configuration of network adapters and  
teams of network adapters installed on an HP Integrity server. To better support server  
management, the NCU has been enhanced using the Replicate Agent Settings tool of HP Systems  
Insight Manager (HP SIM). The replication tool enables HP SIM to retrieve Web Agent  
configuration settings from a source server and distribute that configuration remotely to one or  
more target servers.  
To use the information in this chapter, you need a basic familiarity with HP SIM. This chapter  
provides step-by-step instructions to replicate network configuration settings from one server  
to a group of target servers using the Replicate Agent Settings tool of HP SIM.  
Overview of NICs  
You can use the Replicate Agent Settings tool to configure target servers based on configuration  
information transferred from a source server. The target system does not have to be identical to  
the source system. You can configure both network interface cards (NICs) and teams of NICs on  
the target system. The Replicate Agent Settings tool modifies the configuration of the NICs on  
the target system according to the NIC properties specified on the source system.  
When the Replicate Agent Settings tool runs, it identifies NICs by their relative order in the  
system. The relative order is determined by the slot and port order in the system. NICs embedded  
on the system board are assigned the lowest numbers, followed by NICs ordered by their slot  
numbers with the lowest slot number listed first. Multiport NICs are ordered by ascending port  
number within each slot.  
NICs on the target system are configured to match the corresponding NIC numbers on the source  
server using the following conventions:  
The first NIC on the target system is configured using data from the first NIC on the source  
server.  
The second NIC on the target system is configured according to the saved data for the second  
NIC on the source server, and so on.  
If the target system has more NICs than the source server, the extra NICs retain their current  
settings.  
If the target system has fewer NICs than the source server, data for additional NICs on the  
source server is ignored.  
Teams are created on the target system. Each team consists of the same relative NICs that are  
teamed on the source server. For example, if NICs 3 and 5 are teamed on the source server, then  
the same teaming information is transferred to the target server, and NICs 3 and 5 are teamed  
on the target system during the replication operation. In general, the NICs on the target system  
team do not have to be the same type of NICs that are teamed on the source server. However,  
some NICs cannot be teamed and an error is returned if an attempt to form a team is made with  
invalid combinations of NICs. For example, NICs without common speed capabilities cannot be  
teamed on a load-balancing team.  
An error is returned if the NICs forming the team on the source server are not present on the  
target system. For example, if NICs 3 and 5 are teamed on the source server but the target system  
has only four NICs, an error is reported and the configuration is not applied.  
When teams are configured on the target system, the team properties are set to the values  
transferred from the corresponding team on the source server. Properties not transferred (and  
properties specified with invalid data values) are configured using their default settings.

If no teams are configured on the source server, no teaming information is transferred, and  
configuration of the target system consists of configuring individual NICs only.

2 SetLACState Utility  
If a server contains more than one server adapter, and at least one of those adapters is not  
connected, the server can display as failed on some network management consoles. SNMP traps  
can also be triggered. Use the SetLACState utility (SetLACState) to disable the Local Area  
Connection containing the unused adapter. This stops the server from displaying as failed and  
prevents the SNMP traps.  
NOTE: The server adapter identified by the local area connection must be an adapter supported  
by HP. Also, you cannot use this utility to enable or disable adapter teams.  
The SetLACState utility is installed as part of the Network Configuration Utility (NCU) component  
package for Windows Server 2003. Upon installation, SetLACState.exeis copied into the  
%SystemRoot%\System32\directory.  
Tool usage  
You can run the SetLACStateutility from the command prompt use it during RDP installations.  
You can also add it to the [GuiRunOnce] section of unattend.txtfor use in unattended  
installations.  
Command-line syntax  
Use the following format at the command line:  
SetLACState <Local Area Connection> [Enable | Disable] [/l  
<logfile>][LINEBREAK][/? | /help]  
Command-line arguments  
Use the command line arguments listed in Table 2-1.

Connection or 1, 2, or 3).  
NOTE: If you use this utility in the [GuiRunOnce] section of  
unattend.txt, specify the ID of the local area connection. Specifying just  
the name of the local area connection results in an error. For example, Local  
Area Connection has an ID of 1. Local Area Connection 2 has an ID of 2, and  
so on. Local area connections that have been renamed no longer have an ID.

3 Network Adapter Scripting Utility  
Use the Network Configuration Utility to configure network adapters (NICs) and teams of  
network adapters. The utilitys scripting feature lets you do this using a batch process.  
The scripting functionality also lets you configure target systems based on configuration  
information saved from a source server. When scripting runs, it uses the NIC properties specified  
in the data file from the source server to modify the configuration of the NICs on the target  
system. Target systems do not have to be identical to the source server, and the configuration of  
the source server does not have to be duplicated in its entirety onto the target system.  
Overview  
The scripting tool used to configure the target systems identified NICs by their relative order in  
the system. The relative order is determined by the slot and port order in the system. NICs on  
the system board are assigned the lowest numbers, followed by the remaining NICs, which are  
ordered from lowest slot number to highest. Multiported NICs are ordered by ascending port  
number within each slot.  
Order of NICs on target systems  
NICs on the target system are configured to match the corresponding NIC numbers on the source  
server using the following conventions:  
The first NIC on the target system is configured using data from the first NIC on the source  
server.  
The second NIC on the target system is configured according to the saved data for the second  
NIC on the source server, and so on.  
If the target system has more NICs than the source server, the extra NICs retain their current  
settings.  
If the target system has fewer NICs than the source server, data for additional NICs on the  
source server is ignored.  
Teams on target systems  
The target system is configured with the same number of teams present on the source server  
according to the following conventions:  
Teams are created on the target system consisting of the same relative NICs that were teamed  
on the source server. For example, if NICs 3 and 5 were teamed on the source server, then  
that teaming information is saved in the data file, and NICs 3 and 5 are teamed on the target  
system  
In general, the NICs on the team on the target system do not have to be the same type of  
NICs that were teamed on the source server. However, some NICs cannot be teamed, and  
if an attempt is made to form a team with invalid combinations of NICs, an error occurs.  
For example, teams with no common speed capabilities cannot be teamed on a load balancing  
team.  
An error occurs in the configuration if the NICs forming the team on the source server are  
not present on the target system. For example, if NICs 3 and 5 are teamed on the source  
server but the target system has only four NICs, an error is reported and the configuration  
is not applied.  
When teams are configured on the target system, the team properties are set to the values  
read from the data file for the corresponding team on the source server. Properties not

specified in the data file (and properties specified with invalid data values) are configured  
using their default settings.  
If no teams are configured on the source server, then no teaming information is written to  
the data file, and configuration of the target system consists of configuring individual NICs  
only.  
The CQNICCMD scripting utility  
CQNICCMD is a Windows Server 2003 utility that uses a script file to duplicate the NIC teaming  
configuration information of one Integrity source server and copy it to another Integrity target  
server.  
Script conversion issues  
Scripts created with earlier versions of the Network Configuration Utility (NCU) are supported.  
However, HP recommends that you recreate them using the latest version of the NCU. Several  
operating modes in scripts generated with NCU versions 7.7x and earlier have changed and are  
converted as follows:  
“Manual” is converted to “Network Fault Tolerance Only (NFT)”  
“SmartSwitch” is converted to “Network Fault Tolerance Only with Preference Order”  
For Smart Switch Teams, the existing “PreferredPrimaryNic” attribute determines which  
team member should be ranked higher than others within the “PreferredPrimaryRanking”  
attribute  
All other unspecified parameters use their defaults.  
Using the CQNICCMD utility  
Run this utility from the command line in a Command Prompt window, or use the Run option  
on the Windows Start menu, or from a Windows command file. HP recommends that you use  
this utility as part of a SmartStart Scripting Toolkit (SSST) deployment. However, you can use  
the application outside of this environment.  
NOTE: To execute the CQNICCMD utility from the command line, you must first close the HP  
Network Configuration Utility.  
To use the scripting application, complete the following steps:  
1. Configure NIC teaming on the source server.  
2. Generate a script file on the source server by clicking Save in the HP Network Configuration  
Utility user interface or by running CQNICCMD /S<filename> in the command-line utility.  
3. Modify the script file as necessary.  
NOTE: If you modify the script file, HP recommends that you run CQNICCMD /Pto check  
the syntax of the modified file and check the log file for errors and warnings. The default  
location of the log file is \cpqsystem\log\cpqteam.logon the system drive. The syntax  
of the /Poption is: cqniccmd /p<filename>.  
4. Install the HP Network Configuration Utility on the target system.  
5. Run the Command Line utility with the following syntax:  
cqniccmd /C <filename>  
6. Check the log file for errors and warnings. The default location of the log file is  
\cpqsystem\log\cpqteam.logon the system drive.

NOTE: If you want to use this tool in combination with the Smart Setup Scripting Toolkit  
(SSSTK), see the SSSTK documentation found on your Smart Setup CD.  
Command-line syntax  
Use the following format at the command line:  
cqniccmd [/F] [/C<filename>] [/D] [/L<filename>] [/P<filename>]  
[/S<filename>] [/?]  
NOTE: You can specify only one of the following configuration options at a time:  
/S, /D, /C, or /P  
You can use the /Loption with any of the configuration options. You can use the /Foption only  
with the /Coption.  
Command-line arguments  
Use the command-line arguments listed in Table 3-1.  
Table 3-1 cqniccmdcommand-line arguments  
Argument  
Function  
/S  
This option causes the source server configuration to be saved. You must specify the name of the  
XML configuration data file and the path to the data file must exist. This option is identical to  
saving the source server configuration by clicking Save in the HP Network Configuration Utility  
user interface.  
/D  
/C  
This configuration option causes all teams on the target server to be dissolved, all VLANs to be  
removed, and 802.1p/q Packet Tagging to be disabled for all NICs that have VLANs. No additional  
arguments are required or allowed with this option.  
This configuration option applies the configuration specified in the data file to the target system.  
You must specify an existing XML configuration data file following the target switch. A space  
following the switch is optional.  
NOTE: Any teams that exist on the target system are dissolved before the configuration is  
applied. Therefore, any VLAN that exists on the team is removed, and 802.1p/q Packet Tagging  
is disabled. If any VLANs are defined for non-teamed NICs, all existing NIC VLANs are removed  
and 802.1p/q Packet Tagging is disabled.  
/P  
/L  
This option is identical to the /Coption except that the configuration options are not applied to  
the target system. This is useful for syntax checking the XML data file.  
Use this option to change the name and location of the cpqteam.logdefault log file that is  
created in \cpqsystem\logon the system drive. The supplied path must exist. An invalid log  
file name causes the configuration to terminate with no changes. HP recommends this option  
only in batch files.  
/F  
This option causes all errors, including those errors normally treated as nonfatal errors, to be  
treated as fatal errors. You can use this option only with the /Coption.

Configuration properties  
The XML data file contains configuration properties for individual NICs and for NIC teams.  
NIC configuration properties  
The properties configured on the target server NICs from the source server data are properties  
that are common to all HP NICs.  
These properties include the following:  
SpeedDuplex — Determines the current speed and duplex of the NIC. Possible values  
include Auto/Auto, 10/Half, 10/Full, 100/Half, 100/Full, and 1000/Full. The default is  
Auto/Auto. The value must be valid for the NIC on the target system.  
PreferedPrimaryRanking — Determines the preferred primary ranking of the NIC. This  
value is written only for NICs that are teamed.  
DualChannelGroup — If dual channel teaming is used, this identifies the group to which  
the NIC belongs. The default is 0. This value is written only for NICs that are teamed. For  
non-dual channel teams, the value is always 0.  
ConfiguredPortCost — Defines the port cost for the NIC. The default is 0. This value is  
written only for NICs that are teamed.  
DefaultVlanID — Determines the VLAN ID used for any untagged packets received by the  
NIC. This applies only to NICs that have VLANs defined.

VlanID — Specifies the VLAN identifier value for the device.  
VlanName — Specifies the descriptive name for the VLAN ID. Every VLAN must have a  
name assigned to it. Duplicate names are allowed if you want to use the same names for  
different VLAN IDs.  
NetworkAddress — Is written only for NICs that are not teamed. It allows the burned-in  
address to be overridden with a locally administered address. A null value is always written  
to the XML data file because locally administered addresses must be unique. A null value  
is valid and indicates the network address will be the burned-in address. This value must  
be a valid unicast address if it is edited.  
Team configuration properties  
Team configuration properties configured on the target server include the following:  
TeamName — Determines the unique identifier for the NIC team. Each team name on the  
target system must be unique.  
OpMode — Determines operating mode of the team. Possible values are Auto, StaticDualSlb,  
DynamicSingleSlb, StaticSingleSlb, FailOnFault, PrefPrimary, and TransmitLoadBalancing.  
LoadBalAlgorithm — Determines the team load balancing algorithm. Possible values are  
MACAddress, IPAddress, TCPConnection, RoundRobin, and Auto.  
TeamNetworkAddress — Establishes the MAC address for the NIC team. A value is always  
written to the XML data file. A null value is valid and causes a default address to be  
computed. This value must be a valid unicast address if it is edited.  
TxPathValidationMode — Enables or disables the packet signal transmitted between the  
team NICs. Possible values are Enabled and Disabled.  
RxPathValidationMode — Enables or disables the packet signal received between the team  
NICs. Possible values are Enabled and Disabled.  
TxPathValidationInterval — Determines how frequently the packet signals are transmitted.  
The range of acceptable values is 3 to 60. Values less than 3 are set to 3, and values greater  
than 60 are set to 60.  
RxPathValidationInterval — Determines how frequently the packet signals are received.  
The range of acceptable values is 3 to 60. Values less than 3 are set to 3, and values greater  
than 60 are set to 60.  
RxPathValidationVlanID — Determines the VLAN on which Receive Path Validation  
Heartbeat Frames are transmitted. This value is written only when a VLAN is defined for  
the team. The default is the VLAN on the team with the lowest VLAN ID at the time the  
team is created.  
FastPathEnabled — Enables or disables the port cost with path cost monitoring feature.  
Possible values are Enabled and Disabled.  
FastPathSpanningTreeType — Determines the spanning tree protocol. Possible values are  
IEEE 802.1D and Cisco PVST+. The default is IEEE 802.1D. FastPathSpanningTreeType is  
relevant only if FastPathEnabled is enabled.  
FastPathVlanID — Determines the VLAN ID used for path cost monitoring. This value is  
written only if a VLAN is defined for the team. FastPathVlanID is relevant only if  
FastPathEnabled is enabled.  
ActivePathEnabled — Allows the team member to send a packet to a remote node and  
receive a reply to determine if the team member sending the packet has a path to the echo  
node. The absence of a reply within the specified time period can be used to determine when  
a team member should be disabled. Possible values are Enabled and Disabled. The default  
is Disabled. If Enabled, a valid echo node IP address must be entered.  
The following values are written only when the ActivePathEnabled option is used:  
EchoNodeResponseMech — Determines which echo node response mechanism to use:  
DirectedARP or CommunityAddressARP. If CommunityAddressARP is chosen,  
Configuration properties  
21

Community Probe IP Address, Community Probe MAC Address, and Use Default fields  
are used.  
EchoNodeProbeIPAddress — Determines the IP address to which the echo node  
responds. This is a reserved address that all teams on a subnet can use. This must be a  
valid unicast IP address and is enforced by scripting. This field is used only when both  
Active Path and Community Address ARP response mechanism are selected.  
EchoNodeProbeAddress — Determines the MAC address to which the echo node  
responds. This is a reserved address that can be used by all teams. This must be a valid  
unicast address and is enforced by scripting. This field is used only when both Active  
Path and Community Address ARP response mechanism are selected and  
EchoNodeUseDefMac = No.  
EchoNodeUseDefMac — Determines whether to use the reserved MAC address defined  
in NTID or whether to allow the user to specify the address. This field is used only  
when both Active Path and Community Address ARP response mechanism are selected.  
Valid values are Yes and No: Yes = use the default MAC address, No = use the  
EchoNodeProbeAddress.  
EchoNodeAddress — (Optional) Determines the MAC address of the echo node.  
EchoNodeIPAddress — (Required) Determines the IP address of the echo node.  
EchoNodeTime — Defines the time interval between packet transfers to the echo node. The  
default is 3 seconds.  
EchoNodeTimeout — Defines the maximum time to wait for a response from the echo node  
before considering the team member failed. The default is 3 seconds.  
ActivePathVlanID — Determines the VLAN ID used for the Active Path validation. This  
value is written only if a VLAN is defined for the team. ActivePathVlanID is relevant only  
if ActivePathEnabled is enabled.  
CriteriaRanking — Determines the priority of the redundancy mechanisms used in selecting  
the next port to become the primary port. Possible values are: 2 = User Preference Order, 1  
= Active Path, 0 = Fast Path. Format is 0:1:2.  
DefaultVlanID — Determines the VLAN ID used for any untagged packets received by the  
team. This applies only to teams that have VLANs defined.  
RouterPathEnabled — Enables or disables the router path protocol feature. Possible values  
are Enabled and Disabled. If RouterPathEnabled is set to Enabled, the team is using advanced  
teaming.  
RouterPathProtocol — Determines the router path protocol. Possible values are HSRPv1  
and VRRP. The default is HSRPv1. RouterPathProtocol is relevant only when  
RouterPathEnabled is Enabled.  
RouterPathIPAddress — Determines the IP address for the router path. This option is written  
only if RouterPathEnabled is enabled.  
RouterPathVlanID — Determines the Vlan ID used for the router path validation. This  
option is written only if a VLAN is defined for the team. RouterPathVlanID is relevant only  
when RouterPathEnabled is Enabled.

Error handling and reporting  
Errors can occur for a variety of reasons, including differences between the source and target  
system NICs or errors introduced by editing the XML data file. The software performs extensive  
error checking as the XML data file is read and processed.  
When invalid property values are detected, a WARNINGerror message is written to the log file  
and configuration continues with either default or existing values.  
When you run cqniccmdfrom a command line or a Windows command file, a completion code  
is written as an error-level code to both a log file and the screen. The Windows command file  
can use this error code to determine how to proceed. The error level codes are as follows:  
Successful start of the action returns an error level zero (0).  
Nonfatal errors return error-level one (1).  
An invalid log file returns error-level two (2).  
Other fatal errors return error-level three (3) or greater.  
For specific information about all errors, see the log file.
