Well....not exactly good news, but it's something. For whatever unfathomable reason, the server has stopped hanging when we copy large amounts of data from it. It has been doing it steadily for at least 2 weeks and nothing has changed except I rand the mdb commands as directed. Now, instead of a hang, the network stops. dladm shows that the link is still there, ifconfig shows it's still running but nothing is going either way. If I unplumb and re-plumb the interface it works fine again for anything between 50 and 500mb, then it drops again. Previously, the machine would just hang but now it appears to be an interface problem. I've tried rebooting to clear the mdb command, but that has made no difference at all. I'm getting to my wits end with this machine, I'm thinking about RMAing the entire box and trying something different, which is silly because I know others with exactly the same hardware that works perfectly. Incidentally, I previously had problems with the onboard realtek NICs, and only managed to get round it by replacing them with a PCI-X Intell pro 1000. Now this new NIC is giving problems, or something related to it. Grateful for any insights and sorry that this is turning into a bit of a circus. -- Matt Harrison _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
