Netra t1 Servers may have second ethernet port disabled |
|
25 Apr 2001 |
By manufacturing default, the Sun Netra t1 Server OBP env parameter
pcib-probe-list was set to 1,2 which means that only devices 1 and 2
on the bus are probed and enabled. Thus, only the ebus and the first
ethernet device are enabled. The second ethernet port device, 3, be-
comes disabled by default. This only occurred in early shipments of
Netra t1 Servers and was corrected for all subsequent shipments from
Aug/11/99.
The above mentioned problem can be identified on a Sun Netra t1 Server
from the OK prompt, by typing 'show-devs', if the following error is
displayed:
Unable to find `/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@3,1'
SOLUTION SUMMARY:
Correct the disabled second ethernet device, by following the
recommendation as shown below:
1. Log in as/su to root
2. Type the following three lines:
#eeprom pcib-probe-list=1,2,3
#eeprom output-device=ttya
#eeprom input-device=ttya
3. Reboot
INTERNAL SUMMARY:
See Field Information notice # I0515-1 for more detail.
