Hi Chris,
It shouldn't be the case that any software changes are necessary
to make the Suns notice they now have a fast ethernet connection.
Solaris is smart enough to notice this on its own when its network
connection has changed, although in some cases a reboot may be
necessary.
Having watched an Athena Sun autodetect properly recently, I
doubt there's a software fault involved here; I suspect it more likely
that there's something else causing the problem (are the wires
themselves capable of 100mb ethernet? We had some cat3 cables running
around in the past).
It sounds like someone should come out and look at the cluster
soon and see what's going on, though. I'll see if I or someone else can
do that this week.
Garry
