Increasing Oerrs

[Srivathsan]

Hi,

Tru64 , 5.1 with 2 NICs ( not teamed ).

There is a major slowness while accessing the server through network.

the hwmgr and netstat outputs...attached..

netstat shows Oerrs incrementing for both the nics every few seconds...

Any pointers please

[Ralf Puchner]

the netstat output doesn't show how fast the errors/cols increases. If it is < 5% of opkts it is ok.

Thanks,

The send erros are incrementing in the netstat -is output...continuously...

is there a way i can isolate this issue to be or not to be a network card issue...or some setting issue..

but the strangest thing is it was working fine all along...

You have some send failures from both NIC cards.
I think maybe you have a configuration issue, check the speed on the NIC card and also to the port connected to it on the switch and make sure they are identical.

Or if you have a switch that likes auto negotiation, just enable the auto negotiation on the systems' NIC cards and it should configure the speed automatically.

the intel cards (ee0) always uses autoneg as default, so switch must be also set to this speed!

to be sure no network problem exists, please write down the values of opkts and oerrs in 10 sec. intervalls. Compare if oerrs is < 5% of opkts.

PS: don't use winword as an editor, use notepad instead giving smaller files and less security headache....
