Solaris 9 ndd -set issues
Hello forum,
I have a Solaris 9 Sun Fire v240 server and Sun Fire v440
Recently we made changes and installed a new switch which both of them are connected to it. Cisco Catalyst 3750.

Now the Sun Server v240 is having problems with the network. It was supposed to run at 1000mbs speed.
Code:
ndd -get /dev/bge0 link_speed
100

I tried changing the settings by the following,

Code:
ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_1000fdx_cap 1
ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_1000hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_100fdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_100hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_10fdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_10hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_autoneg_cap 0

After that the link goes down.
HTML Code:
ndd -get /dev/bge0 link_status
0
The switches are configured at gigabit speeds.
Now I am confused as to why this is happening. The v440 is running at 1000 speed and it is connected to the same switch as the v240.

I was wondering if any of you have faced this similar problem before.
Could it be the problem with the Ethernet cable? But we are using the same cable that was used on the old switch and it was running at 1000 speeds before.

Thank you very much for your inputs!

see if editing /kernel/drv/ce0.conf helps ... reboot the server as required ...

also, check that the switch port the v240 is attached to is actually set to 1000mbs and full duplex ... if yes and the issue is still the same, see if you can move the cable to another port on the switch ... some catalyst switches had a bug that killed a port when it had issues with the negotiation though i am unable to remember the exact cause ...

Rebooting the server now is not an option.
The Solaris machine does not have the ce0.conf file.
I asked someone to look at the Cisco switch and he says everything seems fine.
I do not have access to the site yet, guess I will have to ask someone to look at the cables.
any second guesses?

What's the patch level of your GigaSwift driver?
On Solaris 9, this is patch 112817-24 or higher.
Code:
showrev -p | grep 112817-

Code:
bash-2.05$ showrev -p | grep 112817-
Patch: 112817-29 Obsoletes:  Requires:  Incompatibles:  Packages: SUNWced, SUNWcedx
Patch: 112817-32 Obsoletes:  Requires:  Incompatibles:  Packages: SUNWced, SUNWcedx

I checked with my other servers which were running fine they have the same output.
Also here are the results for ndd -get
I don't know if it helps but it's set to auto_neg with the 1000 speeds enabled.
Code:
bash-2.05$ sudo ndd -get /dev/bge0 adv_1000fdx_cap
1
bash-2.05$ sudo ndd -get /dev/bge0 adv_1000hdx_cap
1
bash-2.05$ sudo ndd -get /dev/bge0 adv_autoneg_cap
1
bash-2.05$ sudo ndd -get /dev/bge0 autoneg_cap
1
bash-2.05$ sudo ndd -get /dev/bge0 1000fdx_cap
1

Leave the default, i.e. all capabilities enabled.
Check (compare with other system) if there are extra ndd commands:
Code:
grep -w ndd /etc/rc?.d/S*
crontab -l | grep -w ndd

If the defaults don't work, change the network cable!

It was similar in the other servers
Code:
crontab -l | grep -w ndd

had no results.
Looks like we should switch the cables and the port in the switch?
