  • Page 44: Configuring The Network Host Files

    Configuring the Network Host Files After installing the driver software, you must create a hostname.ce# file (Where # = the instance number of the ce interface.) for the adapter’s Ethernet interface. You must also create both an IP address and a host name for its Ethernet interface in the /etc/hosts file.
  • Page 45 The host name should be different from any other host name of any other interface, for example: /etc/hostname.ce0 and /etc/hostname.ce1 cannot share the same host name. The following example shows the /etc/hostname.ce# file required for a system called zardoz that has a Sun Dual Gigabit Ethernet and Dual SCSI/P adapter (zardoz-11).

  • Page 51: Gigabit Link Clock Mastership Controls

    Gigabit Link Clock Mastership Controls The concept of link clock mastership was introduced with gigabit twisted-pair technology. One side of the link is the master that provides the link clock and the other is the slave that uses the link clock. Once this relationship is established, the link is up, and data can be communicated.

    Then the machine is an UltraSPARC III, and you can safely enable the infinit_burst parameter. Setting ce Driver Parameters You can set the ce device driver parameters in two ways: Using the ndd utility Using the ce.conf file If you use the ndd utility, the parameters are valid only until you reboot the system. This method is good for testing parameter settings.

  • Page 64: Usability Enhancements To The Driver

    Usability Enhancements to the Driver In older Ethernet device drivers, determining the link status for a driver required a two-step process: First, you had to set the instance: # ndd -set /dev/ce instance 2 Then you had to get the link status: # ndd -get /dev/ce link_status Starting in the Solaris 9 operating system, this method of determining the link status is discouraged, and in some cases, it is removed completely as a driver feature.

    If your system is not running Volume Manager, mount the CD-ROM as follows: # mkdir /cdrom # mkdir /cdrom/cdrom0 # mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom/cdrom0 You will see the following files and directories in the /cdrom/sun_gigaswift_ethernet_driver directory or the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory, depending on how you mounted the CD-ROM.
  • Page 79 If the output of the command is similar to the example in Step 3, skip to Step 6. If nothing is reported back on SUNWced or SUNWcedx, then follow Step 4 and select SUNWcea, SUNWceax, SUNWced.u, SUNWcedx.u, SUNWcedu, and SUNWcem (if present). If nothing is reported back for SUNWvld or SUNWvldx, then follow Step 4 and select SUNWvld, SUNWvldx, SUNWvldu packages.

  • Page 83 2. Verify patch versions for the VLAN utility software: To verify patches for Solaris 8 Operating Systems, type the following: # showrev -p | grep 112119 The patch version should be -04 or greater. To verify patches for Solaris 9 Operating Systems, type the following: # showrev -p | grep 114600 Verify that the patch version is -02 or higher.

    Refer to the SunVTS documentation (listed in ) for instructions on how to TABLE D-1 run and monitor the nettest diagnostic. These SunVTS documents are available on the Solaris on Sun Hardware Collection, which is provided on the Solaris Supplement CD for the Solaris release on your system.

  • Page 91: Using The Openboot Prom Fcode Self-Test

    Using the OpenBoot PROM FCode Self- Test The Sun Dual Gigabit Ethernet and Dual SCSI/P adapter’s self-test verifies the correct operation of the adapter and identifies any hardware problems with the adapter. The self-test is a suite of tests that reside in the adapter’s FCode PROM. You can only invoke the FCode self-test diagnostics using the OpenBoot PROM test or test-all commands.

Reset the system to activate these parameter changes. ok reset-all 6. Use the show-nets command to display the list of network devices on the system.
  • Page 93 Note – To test all of the interfaces of the adapter, you will need to execute the test command separately for each SUNW,ce interface. If all of the tests pass, you will see these messages: ok test pci@1e,600000/pci@4/network@1 Testing pci@1e,600000/pci@4/network@1 Register tests: passed Internal loopback test: passed pci@1e,600000/pci@4/network@1: 1000 Mbps full duplex link up...
