Given that you have a tu0 device in unix, I think that would translate to
an ewa0 device at the srm-console.
So take the system down to the >>> prompt using shutdown -h, when you get
there, then type in show ewa0_mode. It should show something like auto.
Then change it with set ewa0_mode FastFD.
Or given that you say ifconfig works for you at the moment you could just
put something in one of the startup scripts that runs during boot and does
the right thing. You could for example put it in the /sbin/init.d/network
script.
Hope that helps

Nope, 'mii-tool' is a Linux specific tool, not available on
Tru64, the above mentioned method should do the trick, though
(iirc) one should be able to set srm parameters through 'consvar'
(man consvar) from a running Tru64 system.

Not on digital unix I don't think. I can try and build it later on today
but unless you have explicit knowlege that it works then I think you are
just wrong.
More importantly mii-tool is never a permanent solution on it's own even in
the Linux world.

Re: Tru64 V5.1 Name Resolving (DNS) problem
|
|
|
Thanks very much Mario and Peter !
I've tried on the svc.conf with "hosts=local,bind", but still can't
resolve the host with "ping www.cisco.com" command.
And since I'm not the owner of the box ... and the "truss" utility is
not found in it, so I can't get the truss output at this moment. Maybe
I'll try later after the owner has installed the "truss". And I think
I'll post this problem to HP's forum too .....
Thanks again for all you guys' help ! ^_^ |

Should I restart some daemon after change this file ? Any what time
will use nsswitch.conf, what time will use svc.conf ?
Look forward your kind reply !
It's my understanding that the nsswitch.conf file was introduced in 5.1b |
in patch kit 3.
Try running the ping using truss to trace the system calls. You'll see
which files are referenced and in which order in the truss output.
truss is in the system V add on. It's in the associated products discs
that come with the OS.
The command should be something like:
truss -aef -o truss.out ping www.cisco.com
Let it run for one ping, then kill it with ctrl-c. Look at the
truss.out file with "more" or vi and look for which files it references.
You can search through the text file with more with the "/" key.
If you still can't figure out what's going on, then try posting your
question to the tru64 forums at itrc.hp.com. The gurus there will
probably be able to help you out.
Cheers,
Mario |

Which version of 5.1? How was it installed? You may find the file you
need to be looking at is /etc/svc.conf rather than /etc/nsswitch.conf...
it seems to be kind of random which one gets installed on a 5.1B system
even:
% uname -a
OSF1 xxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx V5.1 2650 alpha
% cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
cat: cannot open /etc/nsswitch.conf
% cat /etc/svc.conf
[...]
hosts=local,bind
[...]
# uname -a
OSF1 yyy.xxxx.xxx.xxx V5.1 2650 alpha
# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
[...]
hosts: files dns
[...]

| Quote: | Hi Experts,
I've encountered a problem related to Name Resolving on my Tru64 Box.
I've defined the name servers' IP on the "resolv.conf" as below:
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
And the "nsswitch.conf" contains the following entries:
aliases: files
auth_prpasswd: files
group: compat
group_compat: nis
hosts: files dns
netgroup: nis
networks: files
passwd: compat
passwd_compat: nis
protocols: files
rpc: files
services: files
By using "nslookup" on the Tru64 box, I can resolve the name into IP:
#nslookup
Default Server: dns01-aa.bbbbbb.abc
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
www.cisco.com
Server: dns01-aa.bbbbbb.abc
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.cisco.com
Address: 198.133.219.25
But I can't ping the www.cisco.com:
# ping www.cisco.com
ping: unknown host www.cisco.com
The ping can get the IP of the host if it exist in "/etc/hosts"
And my "/etc/hosts" file has the 2 entries for my primary and secondary
name server IP and name.
I would like to know if anything I need to change in order to make the
"nsswitch.conf" file valid ? Or there's any problem on my
"nsswitch.conf" file ? Or I need to restart some process after changing
the above files ?
Please kindly help ! Million thanks ! :)
Have you tried svc.conf? The keywords are local and bind with a comma |
separator. There should be a manpage.
Example:
hosts=local,bind |

We have the following environment.
Two ES45 with a DEGXA PCI Gigabit Cards as follows:

category = network
sub_category = Ethernet
model = DEGXA
hardware_rev = BCM5703_C0
firmware_rev =
MAC_address = 00-10-18-0C-4E-39
MTU_size = 1500
media_speed = 1000
media_selection = Automatic
The NFS Environment we have is clustered running only samba.
The performance in the NFS Cluster is decreasing every day until it
reaches a point in which we have to reboot the cluster once a month
to
clear out the cache and buffer. Then the services come back fine.
The following errors are constantly logged on to the
/var/adm/messages
in relation to the
RFS3_COMMIT
RFS3_READ
RFS3_WRITE
RFS3_GETATTR, client address = xx.xx.xx.xx, errno 70

rfs_dispatch: sendreply failed IP address: xx.xx.xx.xx
NFS server: stale file handle fs(2554,616540) file 857277 gen 32771
Our environment consists of over 40 TB of files in data being accross
the NFS.
Question:
Is there a problem with the retransmit of large file systems, since
most of our file systems are over 2 gig in size.
Also, while doing some tests internally we noticed the following in
MB/sec and while reading a file on being served by the CFS.
In server 1 the reads were at 11 and the writes at 25
In server 2 the reads were at 35 and the writes at 25
Questions:
Can someone tell me what is the high-performance blocksize for NFS
V3.
If there is a diagram online that will make us understand this better
it will be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Yea on the Alpha Tru64 is pretty fast...the only problem is driver
support...for Dec hardware, you're set, for others, you're up the proverbial
creek. Personally, I try to stay away from Dec perpherals, not that it
isn't good, its just over priced and old as dirt. Don't believe me, try one
of Dec's top of the line vidcards and then compare it to $45 ATI Radeon card
w/64mb ram... You'll notice much more than the $400+ price difference.

There's also a 'better' Gentoo port available and a couple of dusty releases
at Debian and Suse sites.

Linux... WinNT4/VMS/Tru64 are DOA as far as the alpha is considered and
have
been stagnant, out side of a few upgrades/patches for sometime.
I rolled over from FreeBSD after having so many 'issues' with the only
answer being, 'its not supported on the alpha' even though I knew damn
well
that it was. I did consider Tru64 for a bit when they offered the
'free
licensing' deal but when I learned that they weren't actively pursuring
it,
linux was my next logical conclusion.
NetBSD usually makes a point of supporting many different
architectures. Perhaps it would work better than FreeBSD.
Check out http://www.alphalinux.org/
There is a port fo fedora core to alpha.
I'm running Alpha Core 0.9 on a XP900.
