100FD for install 11.00

[mobidyc]

Hello,

i'm trying to install B.11.00 but its very slow as the lan was in 100Half Duplex.

how can i verify the lan duplex during install?

it's an L3000.
here is some configuration information:
/var/opt/ignite/clients//config:
init _hp_lanadmin_args="-X 100FD"

/var/opt/ignite/clients//hw.info:
lan: 0/0/0/0 0 lan0 btlan 00306E0CDB3A HP_PCI_10/100Base-TX_Core 0

thanks for help.
Regards,
Cedrick Gaillard

Shalom,

inst_adm 100FD

Confirm syntax with man page.

Don't have an hp-ux system handy today.

Get the lan index with "lanscan" and run lanadmin, example:

#lanadmin -x 0
Speed = 100 Full-Duplex.
Autonegotiation = On.

Just for your interest - on 11.31 (if you are there one day) you should use nwmgr, example:

# nwmgr
...
# nwmgr -v -I 0 -S igelan
lan0:
Interface State =UP
MAC Address = 0x00306E4B2XYZ
Subsystem = igelan
Interface Type = 1000Base-T
Hardware Path = 0/1/2/0
NMID = 1
Feature Capabilities = Physical Interface
IPV4 Recv CKO
IPV4 Send CKO
VLAN Tag Offload
64Bit MIB Support
IPV4 TCP Segmentation Offload
UDP Multifrag CKO
Feature Settings = Physical Interface
VLAN Tag Offload
64Bit MIB Support
MTU = 1500
Speed = 100 Mbps Full Duplex (Autonegotiation : On)

Thanks Steven,

i've added:
_hp_lanadmin_args="-X 100FD"
to the default ignite configuration file but it's already in the client configuration, it should works...

thanks torsten for your answer but my problem is before or during the installation, not after.

OK, I didn't see the ignite relation.

Hello,

problem solved.
in fact, i've not seen that if the nic is igelan, i must NOT set -X 100FD argument for lanadmin, it needs to auto negociate the duplex settings.
effectively, if i manually set 100FD on igelan, it will be set to 10HD.

found it on ignite documentation last week.
