Martin,

I think bnx2 is the kernel module for the NIC. B.N.X. meaning Broadcom NetXtreme.

Cheers,
Ian

Hi Jeff,

 could you provide me with the output from:

ifconfig -a
netstat -i
cat /proc/net/dev

 And what is "bnx"?

Thanks

Hi Jeff,

 what kind of nodes and networking? We have known problems with AIX
and
Gigabit due to overruns in the byte_in/out code.

Hello!
On one of our clusters, ganglia seems to be reporting erroneous
network information.
See:
http://research.yale.edu/hpc/net.jpeg
Notice the Pb range spikes? Unfortunately this happens randomly,
at
least once an hour, on single nodes, which makes any real network
information from the cluster Network plot disappear.

This is gmond/gmetad version 3.0.3-1, which is running just fine
on
most of the clusters in our grid. Any ideas? The only unique
network
setup here is that eth0 and eth1 are both up, but only eth1 has a
connection to the switch.

Thank You,
             jeff
