lanadmin -X

[Nuwan Wijesundera]

I need to clarify a doubt regarding the lanadmin command.
There is a HSC 100 base T Single port lan adapter attached to a D-Class server with HP-UX 10.20 installed.Currently this adapter is running at 10Mbps and half duplex mode.
I want to change this to 100Mbps and to full duplex mode.
I know this is possible with lanadmin command, but I want to know whether system required a reboot after the change these modes.
Because this system is online system and need to be keep on minimum downtime.
Thanks
Nuwan

Nuwan,

I've never had much luck running lanadmin -X on a 10.20 machine. It doesn't seem to have the desired effect.

Check /etc/rc.config.d/hpbase100conf. You can set the following:
HP_BASE100_SPEED=100
HP_BASE100_DUPLEX=full

On the next reboot, the card will operate at 100 Full.

On a related note, make SURE your switch supports 100F and is NOT set to autonegotiate.

Regards,
Mark
