lanadmin -X send_cko_on <ppa>
Example settings for iether driver:
The checksum offload settings are preserved across reboots by setting
HP_IETHER_SEND_CKO and HP_IETHER_RECV_CKO to “ON” or “OFF” in the
/etc/rc.config.d/hpietherconf file.
• PCI Error Handling support:
The PCI Error Handling feature allows an HP-UX system to avoid a Machine Check
Abort (MCA) or a High Priority Machine Check (HPMC) if a PCI error occurs (for
example, a parity error).
Without the PCI Error Handling feature installed, PCI slots are set in hardfail mode.
If a PCI error occurs when a slot is in hardfail mode, an MCA or HPMC will occur,
then the system will crash.
When the PCI Error Handling feature is installed, the PCI slots containing I/O cards
that support PCI Error Handling will be set in softfail mode. If a PCI error occurs
when a slot is in softfail mode, the slot will be isolated from further I/O, the
corresponding device driver will report the error, and the driver will be suspended.
The olrad command and the Attention Button can be used to online recover,
restoring the slot, card, and driver to a usable state.
As of June 2006, the iether and igelan Gigabit Ethernet drivers support PCI Error
Handling when the PCIErrorHandling-00 bundle is installed on the system. The
PCIErrorHandling-00 bundle is an enhancement or extra functionality that needs
to be added even if you've already loaded the June 2006 OE media (it is not part of
the Operating Environments). The PCIErrorHandling-00 bundle is a
customer-selectable feature that is located on the Software Pack (SPK) media.
