ifconfig hme1 plumb - no such interface
2007-12-24 20:16:00
I hope you can help me with this problem :
I am trying to configure a 100mb ethernet card on a sparc20 station
(interface : hme1) running solaris 2.5.1 .
(the boot disk , and only disk is an external 18.2 gb Ultrascsi 3 disk)
the prom has identified the card and showing that there is a network
connection using interface hme1.
when I try to configure the interface using : ifconfig hme1 plumb / unplumb
- he yells "ifconfig plumb : no such interface".
here are the actions I tried already and failed :
1. I've tried a diffrent disk - old internal disk (4gb) on the same sparc20
with also 2.5.1 - and it worked .
2. I've installed all 2.5.1 recommeded patches from DEC 2000 (including the
one that fixes the /kernel/drv/hme) .
3. I've done boot -r / drvconfig .
all didn't work ,
i just came with an idea of putting an internal boot disk and leaving the
data on the external (myb it will work).
if you have any ideas , please let me know.
thank you , will summarize.
