I have a v440 running Solaris 8.
The system is a NetBackup master/media
server and is connected to 2 seperate SANS
(1 disk/1 tape) using Emulex hba for disk
and Qlogic hba for tape. In addition I
have 2 Gigabit network cards.
One gigabit card is running as ce0 and is
the primary NIC. We are using network
device 1 (ce1) with a crossover cable to a
disk based backup device (NAS type head).
Network device 0 is showing up as ce2. I
can plumb it. I can configure it and I
can bring it up, but I get no link light.
I am aware that there were some bugs with
using this device, but hope that I can
avoid them by using for a slow speed
replication link to our D/R site, but
I have to be on the replication subnet.
Device has not been disabled in nvram
as far as I can tell.
(host) : prtconf -PDv | grep -i 'network'
network, instance #0 (driver name: ce)
name <network-on> length <4>
name <network-on> length <4>
network, instance #0 (driver name: ge)
network, instance #1 (driver name: ce)
network, instance #2 (driver name: ce)
(host) : grep ce /etc/path_to_inst
"/pci@1c,600000/network@2" 0 "ce"
"/pci@1e,600000/isa@7/i2c@0,320/cpu-fru-prom@0,ce" 14 "seeprom"
"/pci@1e,600000/network@4" 1 "ce"
"/pci@1f,700000/network@1" 2 "ce"
This seems to indicat the motherboard devices
should still be 0&1 with the Gigabit card as
ce2, but that is not the way it comes up.
Will gladly summarize,
Ken
