Hi managers,
We just received a splendid SunFire V480 here, and I have performed a Solaris
8, hardware rev. 2/02 installation on it. On the SunFire V480, there's two
onboard cards, which are "ce0" and "ce1". These two interfaces seem to be ok
(I've seen both with the "show-nets" command at the PROM) and at the install
of Solaris 8, I had the choice for both interfaces to use.
Currently, I plugged the "ce0" (the lower connector on the back of the
machine) in a 100Mbps - full duplex port. I tested the port AND the cable,
plugging it in the laptop I use as the installation console and I connect
without any problem. However, once Solaris installed and patched with the
recommended patches cluster, I can't get this "ce0" NIC interface to work!
I tryed to force it at 100Mbps - full duplex (with the ndd commands, etc.),
but I can't get this NIC to connect. I browsed the web a bit, but found too
much contradicting informations on this, and I'm starting to get a bit lost...
I as well saw something telling that Solaris 8, hw 2/02 was not a "goob"
version to use with V480, that I should use something like Solaris 8, but
5/03...
Any workarounds, ideas? That would be fairly welcome. As usual, I will of
course summarise! :-) Thanks in advance!
