■
If you modify the e1000g configuration file (
/kernel/drv/e1000g.conf
) to
force the speed and duplex settings to one of the following:
■
10mbps half or full-duplex mode
■
100mbps half or full-duplex mode
and the systems are connected directly (without hub or switch), then you must
use a cross-over cable to connect the systems.
■
After modifying the e1000g configuration file (
/kernel/drv/e1000g.conf
),
you must unload, then reload the driver module for the changes to take effect.
Adaptec HostRAID
On-board Adaptec HostRAID functionality is not supported by the Solaris operating
environment. You may use another third party hardware RAID controller or the
software RAID capabilities of Solaris Volume Manager.
IPv6 Neighbor Cache
A system with IPv6 configured on an e1000g interface may not respond to "Neighbor
Solicitation" messages from any remote machine. Consequently, remote machines
may not be able to communicate to this system using IPv6.
The following workaround will ensure that the system that is plumbed for IPv6 will
be accessible remotely:
●
After setting the up IPv6 on an e1000g interface, bring the IPv6 interface down,
then up.
# ifconfig e1000g0 inet6 down
# ifconfig e1000g0 inet6 up
Now you can communicate to this target system using IPv6 from remote systems.
The above
ifconfig
commands, which bring the IPv6 interface down then up, may
be added to the system's level 3 boot scripts to automate the workaround steps.
