Sun Microsystems X1150A manual Shut down and halt the client system, # shutdown -i0 -g0 -y

6.Shut down and halt the client system.

Use the shutdown command to display the OpenBoot (ok) prompt.

#shutdown -i0 -g0 -y

ok

7.At the ok prompt, use the show-netscommand to find the device path of the

GigaSwift Ethernet device.

The show-netscommand lists the system devices. You should see the full path name of the network device, similar to the example below. In this example, the network@4 device is the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter.

ok show-nets

a)/pci@1f,2000/pci@1/network@4

b)/pci@1f,4000/network@1,1

q) NO SELECTION

Enter Selection, q to quit: q

8.At the ok prompt, boot the client system using the full device path of the Gigabit

Ethernet device.

Following are several examples, which show the different options available:

■ Booting in Auto-Negotiated mode:

ok boot:link-param, -v

■Booting in Auto-Negotiated verbose mode at 1000 Mbps half duplex:

ok boot /pci@1f,4000/network@4:speed=1000,duplex=half,link-clock=auto

Note – link-clock must be set to auto.

For this configuration the highest capability is limited to 1000 Mbps half duplex and the lowest is 10 Mbps half duplex, hence the link will be established within this range of capabilities, depending on the configuration of the link partner.
