AIX

Hi,

In our AIX 5.2 server , we have one unused ethernet adapter which doesn't have cable connection . For this interface , we are getting alerts in errpt .

Could you suggesthow to stop this alert ? And sametime i would like to keep this device in ODM .

Is there anyway to change the state of device from "Available" to "Stopped" ?

the en and et devices are being generated when you assign an ip-adress, the ent device ist available when you configure the adapter on the hmc. (for lpars) or plug it physically in and run cfgmgr or reboot.

you can remove the en and et device

Code:

rmdev -dl enx
rmdev -dl etx

the entx device resides on the system

if you want to leave the entries in the odm, use

Code:

rmdev -l enx
rmdev -l etx

but don't run cfgmgr or reboot the machine then
