Thanks to Petri Kallberg for this, and to all who replied. Problem is now resolved. Kind Regards, Ruairi ISSUE: 2nd Ethernet interface on Netra t1 not recognised. > SYNOPSIS: Early shipments of Netra t1 Servers may have been shipped with > the second ethernet port disabled. > > PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: > > By manufacturing default, the Sun Netra t1 Server OBP env parameter > pcib-probe-list was set to 1,2 which means that only devices 1 and 2 > on the bus are probed and enabled, thus, only the ebus and the first > ethernet device are enabled. The second ethernet port device 3, be- > comes disabled by default. > > The above mentioned problem can be identified on a Sun Netra t1 Server > from the OK prompt, by typing 'show-devs', if the following error is > displayed: > > Unable to find `/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@3,1' > > The Netra t1 Server does not recognize the second ethernet device. > > During the manufacturing and testing process the pcib-probe-list is > set to 1,2,3 thus, the second ethernet device is enabled. Then at > the end of the system test, a script performs a 'set-defaults' on > the obp parameters, which returns the second ethernet device to the > disabled state. As a result, hme1 is not probed and the second ether- > net port is therefore not added to the device tree. > > CORRECTIVE ACTION: > > 1. Log in as/su to root > > 2. Type the following three lines: > > eeprom pcib-probe-list=1,2,3 > eeprom output-device=ttya > eeprom input-device=ttya > > 3.
