Re: [lopsa-tech] Fibre-Channel Performance issue

Thanks for the responses. Guus, in this case, "Deny All" describes the Default Zone paramter. It enables (Allow) or disables (Deny) comunication among ports/devices that are not defined in the active zone set or when there is no active zone set. Edward, the server is connected via 1Gb ethernet..

Re: [lopsa-tech] Change NIC settings on HP dl180G5 NC105 Card under ubuntu 10.04

Hi It looks like this is a Broadcom NIC. Does your Linux distro recognise the exact card. If not, I am guessing it might not let you set the options you want. Which is where I come back to my original suggestion of leaving it at a default auto-negotiate, and getting the switch at the far en

Yes, I caught the command failure from another email. That is going to be an issue. :) Also, doing a re-negotiation on a port where the switch has negotiations turned off will have some problems... :P BTW, a failed negotiation goes to 100Mb Half-Duplex by default. So, if the switch is set t

See the lines in the "ethtool eth0" output where it says: Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Half That indicates that the NIC is autonegotiating the lowest common denominator between the switchport and the server's NIC - almost always because autoneg is failing due to the fact that one sid

Re: [lopsa-tech] Change NIC settings on HP dl180G5 NC105 Card under ubuntu 10.04

Robert, Well I will be honest I am not sure how to set the ethtool settings back to default. It seems the NIC doesn't like any commands I give it. I tried sudo ethtool -r eth0 to restart the negotiation and that did not help. On Thu, Feb 6, 2014 at 3:51 PM, Robert Hajime Lanning wrote: > First

John and Jonathan, Well no matter what I try I get errors like this sudo ethtool -s eth0 duplex full Cannot set new settings: Invalid argument not setting duplex So the driver will not talk to the card to change settings. I just got off the phone with HP with no help but I may have to reboot

Re: [lopsa-tech] Change NIC settings on HP dl180G5 NC105 Card under ubuntu 10.04

First clear all of the ethtool settings back to their default. GigE to GigE autonegotiations work just fine. Even across vendors. Auto-neg was designed into the protocol from the start. The 100Base-T and lower specs had N-Way autonegotiation tagged on after the fact and so had quite a few c

Hi If the NOC is friendly, can they fix the problem at their end? If they can set the switch port to AUTO at 1Gbps only, your HP NIC will likely sort itself out. Jonathan. On 06/02/14 20:31, john boris wrote: First thanks for the reply. Where the server sits the NOC had an upgrade and they
