Recover From a Port Hang (Oracle Solaris x86)

Language:

Perform one of these actions.
- If the interface encounters a soft hang, replumb the device. For instructions, refer to the Oracle Solaris ipadm(1M) man page.
- If the interface encounters a hard hang, reboot the server.
- If the interface encounters an additional hard hang, capture the trace information by using the dtrace command.
  
  For example:
```
# dtrace -F -m 'bnxt{trace(timestamp)}'
>/tmp/dtrace.out
```
  For more information, refer to the Oracle Solaris dtrace(1M) man page.
- If the server is panicked, retrieve the crash dump in /var/crash.
- If the interface encountered a hard hang or a panic, file a CR at My Oracle Support.
  
  Attach the last page of the dtrace command output or the crash dump file to the CR.

Use these parameters for performance tuning in the bnxt.conf file.
