Openboot disable NIC

Hi all. I have a Sunfire VT100 that I purchased off of eBay for training purposes. When I boot the server, I can't get past the part where it tries to resolve its IP address. I don't have the ethernet cable plugged in, b/c it would be pointless. Here is what the console says during boot:
Using Onboard Transceiver - Timeout waiting for AutoNegotiation
Status to be upd
ated.
Timeout reading Link status. Check cable and try again.
Timeout waiting for AutoNegotiation Status to be updated.
Timeout reading Link
status. Check cable and try again.
Timeout waiting for AutoNegotiation Status
to be updated.
Timeout reading Link status. Check cable and try again.
AutoNegotiation Timeout.
Check Cable or Contact your System Administrator.
Link Down.
Setting up Network Link and Speed.
Using Onboard Transceiver -
Timeout waiting for AutoNegotiation Status to be upd
ated.
Timeout reading
Link status. Check cable and try again.
Timeout waiting for AutoNegotiation
Status to be updated. ... over and over.
From an "ok" prompt I type:
ok setenv tpe-link-test? false
Unknown option:
tpe-link-test?I'm not sure how I can get past this. Can someone point me in the right direction or tell me if there's a way to disable the NIC in openboot?
Cheers,

I don't have the ethernet cable plugged in, b/c it would be pointless.It may just be printing warnings about the link, but the boot halts for other reasons (needs to talk to NIS server would be a common reason).

You could do a single-user boot and remove the network from the active configuration, but who knows what else is going on with that OS.

  • Disable NIC on Host but enable in VM - Hyper-V Core 2012

    I have multiple NICs on my hyper-V Host.
    I am running a router/firewall as a VM on this host. This is my perimeter/border protection.
    The issue I am having is that one of the NICs on the Hyper-V host is dedicated to WAN connectivity for this VM. I want to somehow disable this NIC on the host but have it enabled for the router/firewall VM. Is this possible?
    So logically, what I want is: Modem --> Router/Firewall VM --> rest of network (including other NICs on Hyper-V host)
    Currently it is: Modem --> Hyper-V Host NIC --> Router/Firewall VM --> rest of network (including other NICs on Hyper-V host)
    Obviously without doing anything, the host got assigned an IP and it had no firewall in front of it. I have since given it a static IP (10.0.0.24/255.255.255.224), but is there any way to just disable it on the host level?
    Thanks!

    "I want to somehow disable this NIC on the host but have it enabled for the router/firewall VM. Is this possible?"
    Absolutely.  When you create the virtual switch on the physical NIC, one of the options is whether or not to expose it to the host operating environment.  If you uncheck the box (the default is checked), the host does not have access to that NIC. 
    When you create an external switch, any connection to that switch will be made with a virtual NIC, including from the host.  If you uncheck that box, no virtual NIC is created for the host.

  • Enabling NICs in Server 2008 R2 Core

    I'm looking for a way to enable the disabled NIC's on my 2008 R2 hyper-v host. Netsh cmd's only show the active interfaces and using device manager remotely is read only.
    Also, is there an easy to uninstall the NIC's in Core and have Windows re-discover and re-install?
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    You could also try downloading Core Configurator 2.0  here http://coreconfig.codeplex.com/

  • Configuring NIC teaming

    Hello, everyone. I'm hoping this thread is in the right place.
    I've been doing some research trying to understand logical switches/port profiles/etc. in VMM and have been having a hard time. Most of the articles I've found either don't go into enough detail or seem to lack proper examples. My goal is to enable NIC teaming
    on my cluster hosts.
    Currently, each cluster node has 1 standard switch per physical NIC. One of these NICs is trunked, and the others are not. Everything is working fine, but I'm looking to improve the infrastructure behind these hosts.
    I evicted one node from the cluster to experiment with. I enabled LACP on the switch side (Cisco) and enabled NIC teaming on the server (2012 R2). The server is online and functioning, but this is where my knowledge ends. I can't create a logical switch
    and add it to this host as the job fails stating that the switch can't be added since the host is already teamed. I'm a little confused about the proper process of getting a logical switch created and added to my host. Do I need to remove LACP and disable
    NIC teaming on the host and then re-enable it? Am I going down the wrong path by using LACP? 
    Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated. I'd also be happy to provide any additional details I may have left out.

    We use LACP teaming for four NICs, two teams, one Production vSwitch and one for management.
    We create the management team on the HyperV host first, add it into VMM then push out a team FROM VMM for the switch. The trick is to create a port profile (using algorithm Hyper-V Port and Teaming Mode LACP.) bind this port profile to your logical network(s).
    then create your virtual switch and select uplink mode TEAM. and add in your uplink port profile.
    Once you have done this you can then right click the host (in VMs and Services) Properties and navigate to virtual switches. Add a new Virtual Switch (New logical switch) then you will be able to add multiple adapters to the switch.
    Hit apply and it *should* team for you.
    If you need further clarification I can send screen prints and exact steps on tuesday when i'm back in the office.

  • Server 2012 R2 slow performance over all

    This is a DELL PowerEdge R820 / 256GB RAM / 4TB onboard storage configured as Remote Desktop Services Host /TS... running QuickBooks, MS Office 2010 STD, Symantec EndPoint Protection (basic antivirus installation ONLY)... 1 month old server... SUPER fast,
    super powerfull.... Part of an AD in SBS 2008 Premium... single NIC card 4 ports / 3 ports disabled. single IP... no VLANS... server is able to resolve ANY pc, DNS record with no problems... able to resolve DC by name, able to receive GP, able to update, able
    to do everything that I can think of.... EXCEPT... anything I open, word, excel, QuickBooks, IE.... takes forever to open... after the application is open is fast but to open anything takes 3-4 minutes.... open ticket with Symantec all looks good, created
    lots of exceptions for antivirus/real time scanning, open ticket with QuickBooks: files look good application was removed and reinstalled to be sure all was done correctly... check the binding order for the disabled NIC; the active one is TOP option, no errors
    at all in event viewers for system, application, setup, no errors at all in DELL management tool, no hard drive errors, no controllers errors.... this server is replacing an old dell poweredge 2008 STD with 24GB RAM... the old DELL opens the same applications
    way faster than the new one... same Quicken version; old server opens Quicken in seconds, new one 3-4 minutes..... Real time monitoring NEVER goes above 1% for CPU and 3% for memory utilization.... one more thing... removed antivirus 100% restart... same performance
    without antivirus.....
    Any ideas will be great as of how to troubleshoot the slow performance....
    Thank you!

  • TS 140 Windows Server 2012 R2 install failure error 0x80070570

    Recently bought 2 TS140 70A4001PUX servers with Xeon E3 1245 v3 attempting to install eval version of server 2012 R2 (latest on site April refresh) and keep getting the following error at around 62% in the getting files ready for installation:
    Windows can not install required files.  The file may be corrupt or missing.  Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation.  Error code: 0x80070570
    I have seen web search results for various MS OSes that indicate this is due to bad memory, corrupt installation media or download, Nic cards, BIOS settings etc. 
    To rule out memory ran memtest for hours with no errors against the crucial 32GB mem 2 (CT2KIT102472BD160B) also tried installing against the 4GB mem that came with the system. I think I have done enough to rule out the memory.
    Installation media, I downloaded the ISO from Microsoft's eval site three different times using Firefox, Chrome and IE burned the image to DVD 2 different times and tried numerous times using Rufus on an 8GB USB stick in different USB ports. I’ve tried installing the datacenter version with both GUI and server core options. Next thing I’m going to try is to install Server 2012 from an older ISO that I have used successfully many times in the past will update later though I would prefer to install fresh from R2.
    I also have the Lenovo 1GBPS Ethernet I350-T2 Server adapter by Intel for ThinkServer. I have tried installing with it inserted and with it removed, also with nothing even disabling the on board Nic in the BIOS. Same result.
    The SSD drive I have is the Samsung 850 Pro 128GB. After the failure I am able to mount this drive on another machine and see that a significant amount of files get copied to it so I ruled out the sata cable. I also tried with another no SSD WD HD with the same result.  I even break out at install run dispart and clean the partitions.
    Excerpts from setupact.log on SSD:

    For BIOS settings I have reverted back to defaults tried IDE instead of AHCI and also tried CSM support enabled and disabled, NIC both enabled disabled.
    Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
    Thanks.

     Please help

    The backup you used is too old. That is why your clients are experiencing trust relationship failures: the computer passwords are no longer matching so they are failing to connect to AD. You need to disjoin and join them again.
    I understand that this is the only DC you have so please make sure that the DC is not multihomed, that it points to its private IP address as primary DNS server and 127.0.0.1 as secondary one. Also, you might need to rebuild your SYSVOL folder if you keep
    getting the SYSVOL errors: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/315457?wa=wsignin1.0

  • Unable to BOOT-Windows XP

    Hi,
        Just a few days back when i was surfing the net and the computer suddenly restarts and I get this Blue Screen and at the end it says,"Beginning to Dump Physical Memory". I restarted the computer and then no error message. The next
    day when to try to ON the computer i get this PXE-e53 No File Name Received and with some realtek external Controller stuff on top. I shut downed the computer. Next day no errors. I started surfing the net about this
    PXE-MOF problem and found out that The Boot Device Priority in BIOS would solve it. I tried it and it was fine for that time only.
    Next day I ON the PC -same error, restart it(works) and again surf the net and found out that I have to Disable NIC configuration and check the cables of HDD. When i went and searched in the BIOS and couldn't find NIC. But did find a Boot To Network in the
    Boot Tab and i disabled it. It removed 'Ethernet' from the Boot Device Priority. I save it and restart the PC and this time I get a message " Boot Failure. Press Any Key To Continue". I restarted and enable Boot to Network in BIOS and I get the PXE
    error again.I Restarted the PC and restored Defaults in BIOS but same error(PXE).
    Next day I asked my Dad to open the PC and check the cables. He opened it and removed the two cables attached to the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and then he removed the dust from the HDD and put everything back into place. We ON the PC and it finally worked....................
    I go to the bedroom and when I return I see this irritating Blue screen again ( the same one at the start). We restart it and no effect- I get the same PXE error. When i put a usb and on the computer an error comes saying," Disk Error Please click to
    Restart "
    The thing is I cannot replace or format the hard disk since it has some important files and I don't have backup for them :( so what do I do???
    Would doing a repair using Windows XP CD work? or would changing the OS work?
    Please tell me what to do
    I want to know what is causing it and what do I have to do to repair the fault and what should I do to prevent it in future?
    My Computer Configurations
    Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2
    2.00 GB Ram
    Intel Dual Core 2 e7400 2.80 GHz
    PLEASE HELP ME
    And ya im planning to change the OS only after recovering my files

    Here is what I recommend:
    Ask a friend to help you manufacture an
    Ubuntu boot CD.
    Change your BIOS boot order so that the machine boots off this CD.
    Save your important files to flash stick.
    Furthermore:
    Spending time and effort on a Windows XP machine seems a little pointless, seeing that Microsoft will cease supporting this operating system a few weeks from now.
    Files that are not backed up regularly are lost files. It is only a matter of time. Lots of people ignore this rule until they suffer a major catastrophe. You're probably safe this time but you might want to use this incident as an incentive to set up a
    robust backup scheme (unless you prefer to wait for the big disaster such as a disk crash).

  • 8.1 can't shut down after installing itunes

    I recently reformatted and did a clean install of window's 8.1
    I have done all updates, both windows and drivers and the machine is very smooth and stable.
    After installing iTunes the computer will no longer shut down, it displays the logging off / shutting down screen but then just reboots.
    I have attempted numerous resolutions to no avail, i.e. disabled NIC as bootable device, disabled the hybrid boot feature & flashed and tweaked some BIOS settings.
    The computer will not even shut down when I give the command "shutdown /s /t 0"
    I only had Windows Office and iTunes installed on the computer and suspecting that iTunes may be the culprit, I uninstalled it and now the computer shuts down without any issue.
    I have since read several threads about iTunes and shutdown/restart issues with 64 bit versions of Windows although I have not found anyone else with my exact issue.
    Is anyone aware of a resolution for this?
    For now I will need to install iTunes so I can sync my phone and then uninstall so I can shut down!

    Fingers crossed there will be an update for this, I was lucky that my install so was new that there weren't very many things that could have caused it because I don't think it would have ever occurred to me that iTunes was the issue.
    I literally tried every other possibility before waking up in the middle of the night and realizing that the problem started right after I installed iTunes.
    I have had issues with Apple software in the past where I attempt to disable it from launching automatically when I boot the computer and it will simply create another entry for itself in the startup list.
    If I disable that one it makes another, and another and another.... It's like the freaking Apple hydra.
    The want me to know how much I need them! lol

  • HYPER-V RELATED PROBLEM

    after installing hyper-v,when i choose external network option,it disables nic card feature and all the features of nic card go to the virtual swich which i create to connect that with external network.how to solve this problem,please,help.

    Hi SUBHRAJITPYNE,
    " It disables nic card feature and all the features of nic card go to the virtual swich which i create to connect that with external network
    Do you mean  the original configuration of physical NIC was migrated in to the new external Vswitch after you created a new external Vswitch , right?
    I want to say it is normal , because the option " allow management operating system..." was checked by default .
    If you do not want hyper-v host to access outside via this physical NIC you can uncheck this option.
    Hope this helps

  • Can't start imported VirtualBox appliance on Arch host with errors

    (I have been referred here from this thread in the VirtualBox forums because it is suspected that the problem is Arch-specific)
    I've installed latest VirtualBox 4.0.4 via pacman in a fully updated Arch Linux system.
    Then, I successfully imported the Zero Effort Groupware (ZEG) 1.3.5 appliance (which is an Ubuntu guest virtual machine) into VirtualBox. I followed all the instructions on the appliance's website to do so.
    When I try to start the virtual machine I get:
    VBoxManage startvm ZEG-1.3.5
    Waiting for the VM to power on...
    VBoxManage: error: The virtual machine 'ZEG-1.3.5' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1

    I also tried running it headless and got:

  • [SOLVED] Virtualbox list usb devices is empty.

    I moved from virtualbox_bin(AUR) to virtualbox(community), and remove /proc/bus/usb entry in /etc/fstab, after that the usb doesn't work.   I can check 'Enable USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller' in Virtualbox settings, but can't find any available usb devices.

    Have rebooted and reinstalled virtualbox multiple times to no avail.
    It is important to note that my iPhone used to sync with iTunes on Windows 7 in Virtualbox, but then I removed the USB filter and did some updates and now it no longer works.
    I have spent many more hours than I care to admit on this problem, so please, any help is welcome.

  • Windows 2003 Server reboot but not unexpected, couldnt find the trigger for reboot

    Hi All,
    I have windows 2003 Server 32 bit,std. Which is getting rebooted every 2 days once at 5 AM. I couldnt find the cause for the reboot. Need
    I dont see anything in system log apart from event 6006 (event log service stopped).
    Enabled advanced Auditing , nothing suspecious found.
    No scheduled task or job.
    Antivirus scan is clean, no internet access to the box.
    Its Virtual machine, all other VM's hosted on ESX server (where the machine with issue hosted) are working fine.
    Removed all users admin rights.
    Disabled NIC to check if the reboot intiatation happening from network, however server still reboots at 5.
    Run process monitor and saved the file at 4:59:38 AM (just before the reboot), nothing supecious found.
    Its used for build , various versions of Visual Studio is installed on the box and other tools are installed too.
    However could not find a reason or log to find what is causing these reboot.
    Need a direction on troubleshooting this urgently.

  • How do I stop Automatic Graphics Switching setting automatically reverting

    Macbook Pro 15" Mid 2010
    OS X 10.7.4
    I have a recurring problem where my screen (built in or external monitor/projector) will just go blank at random times. It is an unrecoverable situation and I have to do a hard power reset to get working again.
    After testing several theories without success I struck upon one that showed promise. The blanking tended to occur when I was in Lion Fullscreen mode, or using a gesture to start expose - so I figured maybe it was a graphics switching issue.
    So I went into System Preferences and disabled 'Automatic graphics switching'. I then ran trouble free for several days (I was typically crashing 1-2 times a day)
    Then several days later it happened again and I thought I was back to square one. However, a colleague suggested I check the graphic switching setting to see if something had changed it back, and sure enough it was re-enabled.
    Now I find myself in a constant battle with the system to keep disabling the 'Automatic graphics switrhing' in System Preferences.
    I have tried setting it and locking it, but sooner or later it reverts.
    I need to know if it is possible to force it to stay disabled.

    Nice pace both of you - cheers.
    I have downloaded and installed now (cos I implicitly trust all links in forum responses )
    Oddly enough, since typing my original question this morning (local time) and installing this little utility this afternoon, the setting had once more reverted to 'enabled' - when I selected discrete in the app it crashed my macbook again, but slightly differently from before in that I got a blue screen (felt like windows again ) rather than a blank powered off one.
    Anyway, I have restarted now, and set it again - I'll stick with it for a few days and return with likes/+1/stars etc if it all pans out.
    Cheers again.

  • Hyper-V teaming cannot failover

    I have created two NIC teaming, one for a 147 subnet and one for a 192 subnet,
    And used these two teaming in a Hyper-V virtual switch
    But when I disable one of the NIC in the 147 team, some VM will loss connection,
    It seems to me that the VM originally using the disabled NIC cannot failover to the remaining active NIC.
    Anyone have any idea about what might be wrong? Thank you very much.

    Hi Kevin,
    It shouldn't happen , Please try another combination of your physical NICs , such as team members "slot7port1"and "slot7port4" for "external-147" teaming.
    Also please try to configure a standby NIC then check if it can failover .
    Any further information please feel free to let us know .
    Best Regards
    Elton Ji
