I can't seem to find the answer to this in the OSA manuals so I thought I'd run it by here......
Two weeks ago, we upgraded to a z890-A04. With this z890 came two OSA Express 1000Base-T Ethernet cards. I have configured Port 0 on one of the cards for TCPIP traffic (using QDIO) and port 1 is configured for ICC (system consoles). No problems there. Unfortunately, my Auto-Negotiate setting did not negotiate correctly and we wound up getting 100mbit/half duplex on Port 0 and 100mbit/full duplex on Port 1 instead of the 1000/full I was looking for. To fix this, I want to hard code the 1000/full for both of my ports and for the network connection side (my network people tell me they have to match as there is no re-broadcast of mode/speed). My first question is: Can I do this on the fly without affecting already established TCPIP connections that are going through the OSA port? And, two, will the change take effect upon activation (from the Advanced OSA Facility on the HMC) or will I have to reset the ports on the OSA card to get them to re-negotiate their speed/mode? TIA!
