Change network speed and duplex mode on Solaris 10

When I try to FTP some files using an interface, the speed is unexpectedly slow. Then I try to see the network interfaces status:

root@sunserver # dladm show-dev
nxge0           link: down      speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: unknown
nxge1           link: down      speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: unknown
nxge2           link: unknown   speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: unknown
nxge3           link: unknown   speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: unknown
igb0            link: up        speed: 100   Mbps       duplex: half
igb1            link: unknown   speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: half
igb2            link: up        speed: 100   Mbps       duplex: full
igb3            link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full

Seems 100 Half is a wrong setting. Since the speed is set by auto negotiation mode, we have to change it manually:

First, check the interface properties by "ndd":
root@sunserver # ndd -get /dev/igb0 ?

As those "read only" properties are not useful, let's filter out further:

Symmetrix Command Line

My current job needs to take care of some EMC storages, from DMX to VMAX (also some Clariion/VNX and Celerra). Since I forget all the symcli commands, I created the following tables for quick reference (the table will be updated time to time...) :

Omnibus Installation

Recently I have project related to IBM Tivoli Netcool/Omnibus (Omnibus). So, first of all, we have to install the omnibus on my testing Suse server:

ITM product code

Recently I am doing projects related to IBM Tivoli products. One of them is the IBM Tivoli Montoring (ITM). To check which products are installed and running. There is a tool "cinfo", but it only shows the product code, which is not very meaningful. 


Therefore I try to search a product code list for reference:
