Search for 'ethool' on my pseries [SOLVED]

fredmj · **Posted:** 01 Jun 2010, 13:00

Hello there,

I'm still on the road with my IBM pseries ppc64(power4+) - 9114-275.
I'd like to perfom a wake on lan on this box, and I first search for the 'ethtool'.

Code:

[root@RS6K1]ilenia -s ethtool
Building the cache ...... done!
ethtool not found!

I didn't see anything like that, even in the port.

First I was wondering if I have a chance to find a package trough the ppc.contrib.rsync ?

Second, I was wondering if someone had already tried to compile that net tool, with success on this type of machine?

Thanks,
Fred.

ppc/contrib is empty instead you need to activate x86/contrib and there you'll find ethtool.
http://crux.nu/portdb/?a=search&q=ethtool

It 'd compile without any kind of problems on ppc64.

Ok many thanks for that. I'm on the work.

Just because I'm curious, what would your advice?
Use the x86/contrib (/etc/ports/contrib.rsync.inactive -> /etc/ports/contrib.rsync)?
Or compiling myself?

Code:

# mv /etc/ports/contrib.rsync.inactive /etc/ports/contrib.rsync

the best way is always to compile using a port/Pkgfile to maintain your CRUX. If is already available in a ports repository you'll be able to use ilenia too.
Maybe you'd find useful to do a your own local repository.

Ok, that what I though my own repository could be fine. Especially if I have to compile different version of tools

Nevertheless, I have the following error message, using ilenia :

Code:

[root@RS6K1]ilenia -U ethtool
Building the cache ....... done!

Many thanks for that help, you really make me progressing with linux!

Following I have

Code:

[root@RS6K1]ethtool -s eth0 wol g
Cannot set new wake-on-lan settings: Operation not supported
  not setting wol

the other (maybe) useful information could be :

Code:

[root@RS6K1]ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
   Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
   Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full

I guess I have to recompile myself the drivers, no?
Did you already tried (and success in) Wake On Lan functionality on pseries with that NIC?

acrux · **Posted:** 01 Jun 2010, 16:29

as i can remember on IBM 9114-275 ethernet devices are WOL enabled. I don't remember if both or only one.

And from your output it seems to be true i.e. on 10/100 Mbps nic (e100 linux module) wol is supported but switched-off

Code:

Supports Wake-on: g
Wake-on: d

OT: please, can you provide me the lscpu output from a 9114-275 of yours?

fredmj · **Posted:** 01 Jun 2010, 18:40

That's seems to be confirmed by the ethtool eth1 command :

Code:

[root@RS6K1]ethtool eth1
Settings for eth1:
   Supported ports: [ TP ]
   Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
                           100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 
                           1000baseT/Full 
   Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
[...]
   Supports Wake-on: d
   Wake-on: d
   Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)
   Link detected: no

But if eth0 does support the option g (magic packet)

Code:

[root@RS6K1]ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
   Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
   Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
                           100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 
   Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
[...]
   Supports Wake-on: g
   Wake-on: d
[...]

I am wondering which operations I have to do to enable it, since a

Code:

[root@RS6K1]ethtool -s eth0 wol g
Cannot set new wake-on-lan settings: Operation not supported
  not setting wol

does not work...?!

EDIT : I remember that I've got the option 'Wake On Lan' under the "power on/off" menu of the ASMI. The menu seems to be gone. Maybe I have to check the firmware, sms and others menu ...

Well I download the latest drivers and I'll check the wake-on-lan issue on other topic.
I consider this one (ethtool) closed and solved.

Damn! The "wol" configuration seems to be ok on your machines. That's sound like a hope for me, it should work on my machines.
Well I hope that's a firmware level issue. If not, I don't see how that could be solved.

Sorry for that memory problem. When my studies work will be achieve on that clustering project on old ibm machines (I guess it should take 2 centuries, regarding my "intellectual" velocity), I'll give you all my servers. ;-)

EDIT 1 : maybe you could send me your ethtool version (and binaries)?!

EDIT 2 : Thanks a lot for your kernel configuration file (posted HERE.
ethtool work now on my little 9114-275 box. Damn! I can't keep to stamp one's feet myself. Crux PPC really rocks! I am learning a lot with this distribution. The more I practice, the more I love that.
