There are several ways of changing the default settings and force
full-duplex mode; you may need to alter your switch settings as well.
Setting through /etc/system
set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0 set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0 set
hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=1
Setting with ndd
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap 0 ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap 0 ndd
-set /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap 1
In case you have multiple instances, you need to select the specific hme
instance first, e.g., use the following to select hme1:
ndd -set /dev/hme instance 1

Your ethernet adapter in the SUN machine probably took the default of AUTO
and is trying to continually negotiate with the switch.  Change it to Full
or half as appropriate and the problem will go away.  Seen this time and
time again.

Subject: Sun Solaris server backups not ending


Hello again!

I have a SUN server Client Version 4.2.1, Client OS level 5.8 on TSM 4.1.3
os/390.  My problem is that for a regularly scheduled client backup, the
sessions start, but they just sit in idlew/recvw status.  It is just
backing
up about 3 GB of data, but it is taking hours to complete when it usually
ends in 15 minutes.  I checked to make sure that the disk pool wasn't full
and nothing else seemed out of the ordinary.  Has anyone had this problem?
Any suggestions on what to look at?  Thank you!
