reconfiguring the machine for a serial console (it was installed via VGA) and then running rem_drv on the bge driver seems to have worked. The SOL connection is no longer terminated.Now that I have the installation done (via the VGA console) I can test this, though I think it will break my bge1 network connection - I can live with that for the test though.If it's former, looks like bge driver loading breaks the chipset BMC sideband connection here. You can have a try to remove bge driver and to see if your BMC connection is fine. # rem_drv bge # reboot -pI'll post back with the results.
I have to run the test again, because I think I got the baud rate wrong for the console-login, after booting finishes, i did get gibberish on the serial console, but it never disconnected.
I'll post again once I break in and check the settings on ttyb. -Kyle

Since Kyle said that s10 works for his hardware, mayb he can try to disable some features, such as vlan filter, jumbo, even hardware CRC, (Can those features be disabled in .conf ??) etc, to see if it can work, in case that it is a bug in BMC or nic firmware, and driver just triggers the bug.I remember a long time ago that SOL was not working with IBM blade centers because the driver was stripping off the CRC, and the fix was to not strip the CRC for the blade centers. It is one area you can check, by changing the configurations.What do I change to test if this is the problem? -KylePavan-minskey Carson Tan 写道:Hi Kyle, Thanks for your information. I really appreciate it.But I am sorry to say that we don't have this type of NIC on hand, so I cannot reproduce your problem.Have you ever tried any other build of SXCE? Thanks again, Carson Kyle McDonald wrote:Yong Tan wrote:Hi Kyle,I am wondering if there is any problem with the bge driver. Could you send me the output of the attached script?Hi,I couldn't run the script exactly, because the problems happen when booting the machine for JumpStart, so I've never actually gotten Nevada installed on the machine.However just now, while attempting to get the machine to boot and install using the VGA console, I screwed up the JumpStart config, and I did manage to get a shell prompt. Unfortunately being a VGA console I coudln't cut and paste your script in, or the results out.Instead I manually ran the commands in the script, and I've manually (hopefully with no errors ;) ) typed in the results as comments in the code of your script below:#!/bin/sh echo hostnameecho "=============================================================================="VERSION=`uname -r` # 5.11 uname -a # SunOS 5.11 snv_125 i86pc i386 i86pc prtconf -D | grep "Memory size" # Memory size: 8192 echo "# psrinfo -v" psrinfo -v | grep operates # ksh93: psrinfo: not found # # psrinfo must not be included in the miniroot.# Given the output on another machine I'm guessing this one would look like:# # The i386 processor operates at 3800MHz. # (repeated for a total of 4 lines)echo "# ifconfig -a | grep -v lo | grep -v inet6 | grep -v "127.0.0.1""ifconfig -a | grep -v lo | grep -v inet6 | grep -v "127.0.0.1"# bge0: flags=1000842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3# inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0 # ether 0:14:5e:3d:5a:f2# bge1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 1# inet 172.30.171.123 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.30.171.255 # ether 0:14:5e:3d:5a:f3 if [ $VERSION = 5.11 ]; then echo "# dladm show-ether" dladm show-ether # LINK PTYPE STATE AUTO SPEED-DUPLEX PAUSE # bge0 current up yes 1G-f none # bge1 current up yes 1G-f none else echo "# dladm show-dev" dladm show-dev fiecho "# kstat -m bge | /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -iE 'rev|type|interface'"kstat -m bge | /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -iE 'rev|type|interface' # ksh93: kstat: not found # # kstat isn't included in the miniroot, but running that command # on another blade (same HW, but running S10): # # kstat -m bge | /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -iE 'rev|type|interface' # asic_rev 553648128 # bus_type PCI-X # chip_type 5704 # interface serdes # revision_id 16 # asic_rev 553648128 # bus_type PCI-X # chip_type 5704 # interface serdes # revision_id 16echo "# prtconf -pv | /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -iE '14e4,|108e,|17d5,|10de,|10ec,'"prtconf -pv | /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -iE '14e4' # compatible: 'pci14e4,16a8.1014.2e8.10' + 'pci14e4,16a8.1014.# 2e8' + 'pci1014,2e8' + 'pci14e4,16a8.10' + 'pci14e4,16a8' + 'pciclass,020000' +# 'pciclass,0200' # compatible: 'pci14e4,16a8.1014.2e8.10' + 'pci14e4,16a8.1014.# 2e8' + 'pci1014,2e8' + 'pci14e4,16a8.10' + 'pci14e4,16a8' + 'pciclass,020000' +# 'pciclass,0200'for i in `echo "::devbindings -q bge" | mdb -k | awk '{print $1}'`; do a=`echo $i'$<devinfo' | mdb -k | grep devi_driver_data | awk '{print $3}'`echo $a"::print bge_t ifname asf_enabled" | mdb -k done # ifname = [ "bge0" ] # asf_enabled = 1 (B_TRUE) # ifname = [ "bge1" ] # asf_enabled = 0 (B_FALSE)I hope this helps somehow.
