I was wondering if anyone can show me what I am doing wrong here.
I have 2 E450 exact same servers hardware wise except one is Solaris 7 
and the other is 8. They are both connected to the same cisco switch, my 
problem is with the lp_autoneg_cap parameter, the Solaris 7 has it auto 
set to off "lp_autoneg_cap 0" and the 8 server has it turned on 
"lp_autoneg_cap 1" and everytime I issue the command "ndd -set /dev/hme 
lp_autoneg_cap 0" I get the error message "operation failed, Permission 
denied" [I ran the command as root] The reason I am looking at this is 
becasue I am getting poor transfer and NFS issues between the machines 
and I believe this as a root cause.

lp_autoneg_cap is read-only, it indicates the "link partner 
autonegotiation capability". Check the port settings in your switch.

Grab the S95net-tune script off the net and put it into the /etc/rc2.d
directory. Edit it so it matched your interface ex: hme0

Execute the script as root it should update on the fly. If not reboot.

Its a common problem with sun cards and cisco switched. They auto
negotiate to 100-half. You have to force the 100-full. The have fixed
it with the newer ce0 interfaces.

use the hmeforce script to force the settings
(with installation instructions supplied in the script) and ethchk
to check the settings.
