AIX Frame: NIC port down
NIC port is down on IBM Frame. From the back its slot C7/C8. The network switch is the problem, and a new switch will be coming into play. There's one VIO and one LPAR.

How do i tell the port is down in the OS on the VIO? And how can i verify it's backup without pulling cables? We have a Pri and Sec, so both VIO and LPAR ping.
OS AIX 6.1

If you know an address that would route through that card, just try a simple ping. It should re-plumb into when the switch is available again. It might be worth checking that the card and switch port agree on speed and other settings.

You might also get some useful information from entstat naming the device in question, e.g. entstat -d en1

I hope that this helps,
Robin
