An E6500, running Solaris 8 was patched two days ago with the latest
recommended cluster from Sun. This morning I rebooted it to get the new
kernel running and it won't come back up on the network.
It is on a console server, and I can see the interface up (kernel
messages, 'ndd -get /dev/hme link_status', etc) but it can't even ping
it's default gateway or hosts on the local net. Network engineers see no
issues on the switches, and no speed settings were modified before the
reboot.
I snoop the network and see other hosts asking (via ARP) for the address
of this host, but no replies. The host "elysium" is the host in
question.
209.202.221.10 -> (broadcast) ARP C Who is 209.202.221.60, elysium ?
? -> (multicast) ETHER Type=0000 (LLC/802.3), size = 52 bytes
I saw in the patch clusterr that 109898-05 was included and is an ARP
patch. I cannot back it out, however:
# patchrm 109898-05
Checking installed patches...
Patch 109898-05 was installed without backing up the original files.
It cannot be backed out.
Same goes for a hme patch included (108981-08):
# patchrm 108981-08
Checking installed patches...
Patch 108981-08 was installed without backing up the original files.
It cannot be backed out.
I've backed out the kernel upgrade, so I'm back to Generic_108528-13 but
it still cannot reach any other hosts on the network. I've enabled
autonegotiation for kicks via:
# ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0
# ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100T4_cap 0
# ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap 1
# ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap 0
# ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap 0
# ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10hdx_cap 0
# ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap 0
...but still no luck after negotiation.
Any ideas?
