the default values of the four tunables mentioned

in the HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23) OE below.

11.11 AR

11.23 OE B.11.23.0706

1. As of June 2007, iether driver release enables

PCI Express (PCIe) technology on HP-UX 11i v2.

2. New lanadmin option to enable writing vital

product data (VPD) asset_tag on EEprom.

3. HP strongly recommends that the default val-

ues of the following four tunables not be changed.

It has been found that certain combinations of

these tunables (other than the default settings)

could result in card hangs.

- send_max_bufs

- recv_max_bufs

- send_coal_ticks

- recv_coal_ticks

HP does not support the option of changing these

tunables for iether based PCIe (PCI Express)

cards.

11.23 AR B.11.23.0706 The same changes were made for the application

release (AR) as were made for the OE update

release above.

The AR release notes are on docs.hp.com and are

called the IEther-00 (iether) Gigabit Ethernet

Driver for HP-UX 11i v2 of June 2007 Release

Notes.
