Our Solaris was hung yesterday, and dmesg show that,
nxge3 : <== nxge_m_start: initialization failed
nxge2 : nxge_dma_mem_alloc:ddi_dma_mem_alloc kmem alloc failed
nxge2 : nxge_alloc_rx_buf_dma: Alloc Failed: dma 9 size_index 10 size requested 4194304
Does it mean the DMA failure ? How do we solve that ? More RAM to the Solaris ?
Many thanks !!
are there any tuning settings for the nxge nics? alos, which solaris version do you use?

We have,
SunOS HSBC1 5.10 Generic_144488-06 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5120
Sorry, what is tunning setting for nxge ? Am quite new to the Solaris
Thanks, I will edit as mentioned, but this line
"Note that a fix for CR 6722278 is needed for the tuning to take effect"
do I have to install that patch to take effect ?
just have a look if there are some actual tuning settings... if yes, take them out and try without the settings... if the above messages still appear, we've to look for other problems.
