Hi,
On Oracle Server X5-2 I have Oracle VM Server 3.3.3 installed. It create during installation bond0 adapter on eth0.
When I look at eth0 with ethtool:
# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
10000baseT/Full
Supported pause frame use: No
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
10000baseT/Full
Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Speed: 100Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Port: Twisted Pair
PHYAD: 0
Transceiver: external
Auto-negotiation: on
MDI-X: Unknown
Supports Wake-on: d
Wake-on: d
Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)
drv probe link
Link detected: yes
My network admin say that port on network switch is set on auto.
Can I try to force speed of this adapter with something like:
ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off"
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0/bond0
Will this have any negativ efect on Oracle VM Server installed on it?
Regards
