I am posting my summary to both the list , since both list helped me and problem was related linked to Legato and SUN . Some people may not like this , I sincerely feel that this summary will be helpful to both the list. Thanks to everybody who reponded . I have attached their reponses below. It turns out that , slot 0 is not good for gigabit card in E250 . Regarding the setup. I did not change anything on networker configuration . Network Hardware Netgear HUBS GS504 , Media convertor ( RJ45 to Fiber Optic ) , 1000mbps Full duplex mode (fix) on each machine's gigabit ethernet card. Following is the response from SUN's Sakata-san , The GigaBit Card which is inserted in E250 was Slot0.The GBE card x1141A isn't reccomended to insert in Solt0. The reccomended slot is Slot3.That is because Slot 0-2 are 64/32bit 33MHz, in a single PCI bus. Please see below PCI Slot Numbering SLOT BUS DEVICE TREE 3 A pci@1f,2000/*@1,* 2 B pci@1f,4000/*@2,* 1 B pci@1f,4000/*@4,* 0 B ppci@1f,4000/*@5,* PCI Bus B shares the address/data bus with onboard Audio,Ethernet,Flash, Floppy, Keyboard, Mouse, NVRAM, Parallel, SCSI, and Serial devices. X1141A Card Gigabit Ethernet 2.0/3.0 (GBE/P) is a Multi-Mode Fiber 3.3/5V 64Bit 33/66MHz card and only 1 card is supported within this E250 system. Here are some responses I received . ================================================================================== Irwan Hadi <irwanhadi@phxby.engr.usu.edu> If you are getting lots of packet errors, then this means that you are having full duplex problem. The problem becomes bigger since you are also using Netgear products, which *always* have full duplex problems with Sun. My suggestion is either try to change your Netgear to different brand, or force your Netgear equipment to talk *only* half duplex, or if you don't have any other choice, try to set your GBIC (Gigabit Interface Card) on your Sun system to run just half duplex.Let me know if this solve the problem or not, by cc-ing to irwanhadi@phxby.com Thanks =================================================================================== Stuart Whitby <swhitby@legato.com> RPC errors aren't necessarily network hardware. I can't help you with the problems that you note on the network side, but if you really want to check NetWorker, run rpcinfo -a (the rest of the options are dependent on your environment) against programs 390103 and 390107 on the server, and log the results at one minute intervals throughout the night. Run this directly on the server itself, which means that you go through the loopback interface rather than across the network. If you see a problem here, then the problem is with the process not responding to the rpcinfo request in time. One or two "program not responding" errors are expected during busy periods since a) the rpcinfo timeout is much shorter than the NetWorker client software timeout, and b) the client software will retry. If this is a problem for you, upgrade to 6.1.2 (if it's available - I know it's on limited release) or 6.1.1 with the RPC patch included in LGTpa33799. You probably don't need the whole thing, but if you're running two jukeboxes, then it may not be a bad idea (depends on the size of your nsrjb.res file). Hmm, quick further note - I think I cancelled sending this as it was being delivered. If 6.1.2 is out, it's *very* new. Personally, I'd give it a month then ask people if they've got any problems with it before installing, as I would with any new software. Besides, I'm troubleshooting it right now and seeing problems :) For what it's worth, they're probably site specific - I figure that virtual devices mean we're hitting a problem with the server figuring that it's got 450 devices... Cheers, Stuart. ===================================================================================== Rahul Parasnis <rahul.parasnis@creditl To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org yonnais.fr> cc: (bcc: Rahul Parasnis/JPN/International/CLY) Sent by: Subject: Gigabit Interface problems sunmanagers-admin@sunma nagers.org 06/24/2002 04:58 PM Hello Gurus, I have E250 Machine( Solaris 8 ) with two Autochangers connected ( One L20 and one L40 ) having Gigabit Ethernet card ( X1141A) . This Machine is used as Storage Node( term used in Legato Networker) . Lot of people on this list must be using Legato Networker . (I am using Networker 6.1 build 136 for those who are interested in the version ) Problem : When I start to take backup( 80 GB windows 2000 Machine with Lotus Notes Option ) through networker using gigabit interface , backup failes after 12 GB /15GB or sometimes 30 GB giving rpc errors timeouts. Initially I thought that this could be the configuration problem of networker . I posted my problem on networker mailing list , and lot people responded that the error cause is because of network hardware . One person having simmilar setup experienced same problem and he pointed out that this could be because of Compaq NIC . However he did not have evidence since he can test with another card . I started to monitor netstat statistics on gigabit ethernet card , and I found following . I just ftpd 100mb file from this machine to another machine . netstat -i -I ge0 3 and I am getting following input ge0 output input (Total) output packets errs packets errs colls packets errs packets errs colls 26738 66 13634 0 0 26822 66 13714 0 0 36142 178 19294 0 0 36210 178 19359 0 0 33140 124 17255 0 0 33205 124 17316 0 0 46008 183 24783 0 0 46055 183 24815 0 0 28399 71 14482 0 0 28488 71 14563 0 0 32110 56 16488 0 0 32183 56 16554 0 0 42485 131 22328 0 0 42572 131 22403 0 0 42686 190 22627 0 0 42781 190 22710 0 0 39271 132 20418 0 0 39350 132 20483 0 0 33431 83 17207 0 0 33557 83 17312 0 0 48936 169 26030 0 0 49018 169 26088 0 0 36564 106 18992 0 0 36714 106 19105 0 0 43169 155 23085 0 0 43297 155 23189 0 0 50800 183 27213 0 0 50908 183 27298 0 0 37223 129 19451 0 0 37361 129 19569 0 0 10735 35 5698 0 0 10877 35 5832 2 4 22383 22 11124 0 0 22555 22 11263 0 0 35079 81 18111 0 0 35183 81 18207 0 0 32951 103 17097 0 0 33050 103 17180 0 0 Now you can see there are lot of input errors , I have escalated this problem to SUN through vendor CTC Technology corporation. I feel the Ierrs are not normal , and they are coming only on this machines gigabit ethernet card , Hence CTC support replaced this card , reinstalled driver applied patch but invain. Nothing changed . Does anybody have such experiences with gigabit interface card on E250 Machine running Solaris 8 ? I have applied 108813-09 patch on E250 Machine . I am using GS504 Netgear HUBS ( fiber optic ) . best regards, - Rahul Following Mail was posted to Networker Mailing list . Thanks to james.white@pncbank.com , Scott Bingham <sbingham@legato.com> who told me that concentrate on Network hardware side rather than on Legato side.
