SUMMARY: hme intermittantly failing on Solaris 7

The Cisco switch was pinned at 100 full.

I found on the Ultra 10 we had the following in /etc/system which I'm not sure
why was not working:

* set hme full duplex
set hme:hme_use_int_xcvr=1
set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=1

And on the Ultra 5 we didn't have anything in /etc/system, but instead had an
rc2.d script that apparently is working, which I've now copied to  the Ultra
10.

# cat /etc/rc2.d/S70hme.full
#!/bin/sh
#ident  "@(#)hme.full   1.1     93/07/07 myxa"

#
# set hme0 to 100 full duplex - forced
#

case "$1" in
'start')
        ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap 0
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap 1
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap 0
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap 0
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10hdx_cap 0
        ;;


'stop')
        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/hme.full { start | stop }"
        ;;
esac

Thank you all for your help, and I've now found the archives you referenced.

We have an Ultra-5 and 10 both running Solaris 7 with hme0's that both
intermittently fail.  They are plugged into a Cisco 3548 switch at 100 full.
We've moved to different ports, replaced the cables, swapped out the system
board of the Ultra-5 and installed the latest 7_Recommended including
Patch-ID# 108263-09.
