Operating Systems AIX Capture Network Packets from AIX

Hi,

I am trying to install filesets.

another query:

When i try to change the Ethernet adapter setting in AIX, I am getting error message.

Command:
chdev -l 'ent0' -a media_speed='10_Full_Duplex'

Error:
Method error (/usr/lib/methods/chgent):
0514-062 Cannot perform the requested function because the specified device is busy.

How to stop the process so that i can change the speed?

As long as you use the adapter in question you cannot. I.e. you are loged in via en0 and your session would terminate during the change. Use the chdev -P parameter to change the value in the adapter's ODM only and the change will take place on next reboot. If you can access the server through another interface you can take the en0 down and change it without reboot. Same applies if you can access the server through a serial console.
You could even do this online by placing all commands into a command line (script) but if it fails you are locked out. That is why the first two ways to accomplish your aim are preferable if you want to do it online.
