Why one of two network ports drops after server reboot?

by mkoskenk . Updated 12 years, 9 months ago

Hi all,

for quite some time now one of two network ports drops when the server reboots. The green link light burns dimly and activity light is dark. I’ve got one 5400-series HP switch in my network room and another 2900-series HP switch in my server room. All my servers are connected to the 2900 series and from there I’ve got 6gig link to the main switch.

If I disconnect the cable to the server from 2900 series and plug it in directly to 5400 series the dropped port comes back alive and I can connect it back to the 2900 series. Whenever I reboot the server, the port goes down again. Speed/Duplex settings are set to Auto on both switches and also on server side. The two ports on server are teamed with HP Team.

How can I stop my port from dropping?

Cheers,
Mikko
