For RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR and TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR in output results of
netstat –i
command, a value of the physical port are displayed.

.
This representative value is based on measurement results at Hitachi's environment.
Actual throughput value differs depending on measuring environment and measuring
method.

.
Network throughput value may not be get enough when the following situations
occur:
- Network traffic of VF NIC is high
- A lot of interrupts occur for a short time, and CPU utilization is high.
Reboot the OS after adding the following commands on "/etc/rc.d/rc.local" file.
(is set automatically when rebooting the OS.)
/sbin/ethtool -C eth<N> adaptive-rx off
/sbin/ethtool -C eth<N> rx-usecs 128
Specify a network device name of target VF NIC in "eth<N>".

If a NIC where Emulex Blade Engine 3 is installed and a NIC where Emulex XE104 is
installed co-exist, this number is 15 per port for both NICs.

However, set the same VF NIC to primary devices each LPAR when setting
"fail_over_mac=0".

.
When using inter-LPAR communication with VF NIC, set "fail_over_mac=1" to the
bonding option. If not, the inter-LPAR communication may not be available at
switching bonding.
