default 20 usecs)
tx_fctrl Set transmit flow control (respond to pause frames,
default On)
rx_fctrl Set receive flow control (generate pause frames,
default On
drv_mq Set the number of receive queues (1-5, default 5,
limited by
number of CPUs + 1 and hardware capability)
drv_pr_on Enable TCP Packet Reassembly in driver
drv_pr_off Disable TCP Packet Reassembly in driver
vmtu Set the Virtual MTU on the interface (0 or 32160,

clear_stats Reset statistics
WARNING: The installed kernel modules include multiple versions of
the
module 'iocxgbe'. Version 1.0.[52DF621E] will be ignored.
* The requested changes have been applied to the currently
running configuration.
WARNING: The module 'iocxgbe' could not be set to the 'loaded' state,
because another module depends on it.
Module State Cause Notes
iocxgbe (before) unused loadable, unloadable
(now) loaded best
(next boot) loaded explicit
Workaround: If the above failure message is seen, explicitly run “/sbin/init.d/hpiocxgbe
start” to apply the intended settings in startup configuration file.
• After system boot, link problems are seen. For example, the link is DOWN and the speed is
1Gb/s; the link status should be UP with 10Gb/s (when connected to a 10Gb link). This
problem happens with the following adapters:
◦ NC553i Integrated (LOM) FlexFabric adapter
◦ NC552m (product number: 610609–B21)
◦ NC553m (product number: 613431–B21)
The problem is not caused by the iocxgbe driver. The problem is caused by a defect in the
firmware.
Severity: High
Workaround: Update to the latest firmware for the adapter. For more information, see
“Firmware requirements” (page 12).
• Firmware update fails for Emulex ATxxx adapters on HP-UX 1209.ic383 (QXCR1001255872)
Severity: Medium
When using the nwmgr to update firmware for Emulex ATxxx adapters, if the STRMSGSZ
tunable has a non-zero value, the update might fail. The error message will indicate an invalid
argument was detected.
Workaround: Use kctune to change the STRMSGSZ value to 0.
