I need to delete a TTY in my AIX 4.3 system. I have tried using the smit but everytime I try it, there is a message telling me that the device is in use and cannot be changed. How do I take the device "offline", so to speak, so that I can edit the settings and/or delete it.

Hi All,
How can I find out which is ETH5 on my AIX P5 system. I have about seven different NIC card on this. I did move the cable to each one but still I was not able to see the link light up when I did netstat -v
Any idea?
Thanks. (2 Replies)
I couldn't install my nic in solaris 10. I compiled and added
the driver but failed to attach the driver and ifconfig output
shows only loopback dev. Please see the following output and tell
me whether my nic has been detected and why the driver failed to
attach?

Dear All
I want tune my NIC's rps, rfs and xps value.
In my system I have two NIC (eth0, eth1) and I have a bond0 ( eth0, eth1).
Here is the question? Which device should I modify ?
eth0 and eth1? or just modify bond0 or modify all device (eth0, eth1, bond0)
Any advice is welcome.... (0 Replies)
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... (1 Reply)
Hello Admins,
My ask is how can I add two different subnet IPs to same box with two different gateways?
The issue is I can connect to the box when I am on ethernet LAN, but I am not able to connect to the same IP when I am on wifi. The server is RHEL 7 VM on vmware.
How can I get connected... (4 Replies)
I have Xubuntu 18.04 installed on my PC. I have created a 10G .img image file created by QEMU-IMG. I have installed inside of it Solaris 9 SPARC edition . If I try and mount the image file as a loop device (using sudo losetup /dev/loop0 /path-to-img-file) I can only mount it as read only.

ixgbe(7D) Devices ixgbe(7D)NAME
ixgbe - Intel 10Gb PCI Express NIC Driver
SYNOPSIS
/dev/ixgbe*
DESCRIPTION
The ixgbe Gigabit Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded, loadable, clonable, GLD-based STREAMS driver supporting the Data Link Provider
Interface, dlpi(7P), on Intel 82598 10-Gigabit Ethernet controllers.
The ixgbe driver functions include controller initialization, frame transmit and receive, promiscuous and multicast support, and error
recovery and reporting.
The ixgbe driver and hardware support auto-negotiation, a protocol specified by the IEEE 802.3ae specification.
APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
The cloning character-special device, /dev/ixgbe, is used to access all Intel 82598 10 -Gigabit Ethernet devices installed within the
system.
The ixgbe driver is managed by the dladm(1M) command line utility, which allows VLANs to be defined on top of ixgbe instances and for
ixgbe instances to be aggregated. See dladm(1M) for more details.
You must send an explicit DL_ATTACH_REQ message to associate the opened stream with a particular device (PPA). The PPA ID is interpreted as
an unsigned integer data type and indicates the corresponding device instance (unit) number. The driver returns an error (DL_ERROR_ACK) if
the PPA field value does not correspond to a valid device instance number for the system. The device is initialized on first attach and de-
initialized (stopped) at last detach.
The values returned by the driver in the DL_INFO_ACK primitive in response to your DL_INFO_REQ are:
o Maximum SDU is 16366.
o Minimum SDU is 0.
o DLSAP address length is 8.
o MAC type is DL_ETHER.
o SAP (Service Access Point) length value is -2, meaning the physical address component is followed immediately by a 2-byte SAP
component within the DLSAP address.
o Broadcast address value is the Ethernet/IEEE broadcast address (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF).
Once in the DL_ATTACHED state, you must send a DL_BIND_REQ to associate a particular SAP with the stream.
CONFIGURATION
By default, the ixgbe driver performs auto-negotiation to select the link speed and mode. Link speed and mode can only be 10000 Mbps full-
duplex. See the IEEE802.3 standard for more information.
