Hello,
I have an Ultra-10/Solaris 8 that is a NFS server to a few machines. I run
a weather model on a RH Linux box and ftp the data to the Sun machine so it
resides on the NFS share. It worked fine. Then, I shut the Sun box down
and physically moved it to another room (with the same connection
type/speed, or so I think). All other processes are fine and streaming
along, for example the machine receives a weather data feed and it's flowing
in right as rain. But, when the linux box tries to ftp to the sun machine,
it is getting it at like 3 K/sec, and then hangs. I can ftp from the linux
box to the other suns and get like 8 MB/sec. I checked my connection stuff
it's identical to the other Suns (I have 3 others).
The slow machine (3 K/sec ftp):
# ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0
# ndd /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap
1
# ndd /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap
0
# ndd /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap
0
# ndd /dev/hme adv_10hdx_cap
0
# ndd /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap
0
# exit
Another identical sun machine (8 MB/sec ftp)
# ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0
# ndd /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap
1
# ndd /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap
0
# ndd /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap
0
# ndd /dev/hme adv_10hdx_cap
0
# ndd /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap
0
#
The /etc/system in both are identical with a section:
# To force 100fdx ethernet
#
set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=1
set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap=0
#
I didn't change any config of anything before moving the box. Strangely (or
maybe not), I get this from the following commands (from both suns):
# ndd -get /dev/hme lp_autoneg_cap
0
# ndd -get /dev/hme lp_100hdx_cap
0
# ndd -get /dev/hme lp_100fdx_cap
0
# ndd -get /dev/hme lp_10fdx_cap
0
# ndd -get /dev/hme lp_10hdx_cap
0
As you can see, I'm more a meteorologist than a Sun Admin. Any help with
this would be greatly appreciated. Can't see why all is well but the ftp
speed. Don't know where to look.
Patrick
