Advant Environment install error
I am having some trouble installing an Advant OS station at the moment so I re-installed the software.
Firstly I tried an Ignite restore and the station starts OK on the DCN but it fails to load the environment. And if I open a hpterm, and run Environment-builder, it has a problem with Oracle.
Then after a CD installation it’s the same issue.
My only thought is that there is some hardware issue with the B2600, e.g I see a ‘LAN Interface’ error on startup yet I can ping the station remotely.

Submitted comment first, but hey, why not share my hints a little bit more visibly for others to find, later on.
Seen many HP-UX machines but only a fraction of them running MOD... just firing away what I'd try given the task to resurrect a down Advant Station.
For general installation issues, go through these log files:
# ls /var/adm/sw/
config.prev host_object products security swagentd.log swinstall.log ui
defaults ipd_mods queue sessions swagent.log swmodify.log
getdate.templ patch save software swconfig.log targets

An improperly set Default Gateway can cause a range problems; clean it by editing /etc/rc.config.d/netconf or in the below working example just clear the IP-address and reset count to 0
# grep ROUTE /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
# ROUTE_DESTINATION: Destination host or network IP address in
# ROUTE_MASK: Subnetwork mask in decimal-dot notation, or C language
# ROUTE_GATEWAY: Gateway IP address in decimal-dot notation.
# ROUTE_COUNT: An integer that indicates whether the gateway is a

ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]="default"
