changing 10/megs to 100/megs

[khilari]

Hi guys, i want to change the lan card speed from 10m/sec to 100m/sec. Now, can i do it through command line or have to use sam. And if i do it on a running application and database should that be a problem??
Thanks

If your card supports it then you can do a lanadmin -S 100. Man lanadmin for details. (You can use the lanscan command to get the NMID).

This will reset the card and whether or not the application is able to handle that interruption depends upon how the application was coded. You also need to make sure that your speed/duplex settings agree on the switch end of the connection as well.

Shalom,

It would be helful to know the machine model. Then it would be possible to advise whether this is a good idea or not.

Note: built in NIC on D/R/K class and similar era machines can only go 10 BaseT half duplex.

Lets assume that this system does not meet that critera. Here is what you can do to make it go 100 BaseT assuming its also not a 1000 BaseT card which requires auto negotiation.

1) Have the network switch port set to 100 baseT Manual
2) use lanadmin -X to test the change while its running.
3) Edit /etc/rc.config.d/hpbtlanconf to make the change permanent. put in the entry for th e lan number eg lan0 or lan1 or lan2 and put 100FD on the last line for 100 BaseT full duplex.
4) boot. Use lanadmin -x 0 (for lan0 1 for lan1 etc) to test it all out.

the model is 9000/800/K580

Ok, is this the built-in LAN on your K-box or an add-in NIC? If an add-on card, what is the product number? If it's the built-in then 10Base-T is all it will do.

post ioscan output that will do it.

ioscan

ioscan -fnC lan
