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.
I tried changing the settings by the following,
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!

Reason: interface is bge0 not ce0
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?
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.
Leave the default, i.e. all capabilities enabled.
Check (compare with other system) if there are extra ndd commands:
If the defaults don't work, change the network cable!
Hi,

Hello,
I recently upgraded our system from Solaris 8 to 10. It seems couple of binaries crashed in the new server Solaris 10. Before digging too much on it , from theory it sounds like any binary that is built on Solaris 8 (using gmake) is supposed to be compatible with Solaris 10 , right ?
