Hi,
With the 4.5 kernel on Sun V120, the Ethernet interface will go dead
after a few minutes. May be 5 to 15 minutes. No consistence yet that I
can see. When this happened, all access to the server is gone and no
ping reply as well. The only way is to log via the console and simply do:
ifconfig gem0 down
ifconfig gem0 up
And then you are good for a few more minutes.
The only thing I see is in the logs message like this:
gem0: device timeout
However these were present in 4.4 as well, however, never did the
connection was totally lost, meaning, may be there was a dead time and
came back, can say for sure, but never the less the same server run for
months without issue what so ever in doing it's thing.
Install with 4.5 now have this lost of connectivity.
I tried also the bsd.mp to see if that was different.
So far no issue what so ever, nor is there any time out warning in the
logs and it's now being operating for 3 hours.
Small update on this.
Same thing happen on the mp kernel, but just way later.
Same error in the logs and instead of being a few minutes, it lasted 19
hours.
