To verify in a Linux Operating System (OS) (Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES)) if an interface is one (1) of the 1 gigabytes (GB) on-board Emulex interfaces in an M4 X Series system, or one (1) of the 10 GB option interfaces, users can run the command:
$ethtool -i eth(n)
where: 'n' is the interface number.
For example:
$ethtool -i eth0
driver: be2net
version: 4.1.425.0
firmware-version: 4.1.425.7
bus-info: 0000:16:00.0
If the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) function of that interface is 4 or 5, it is one (1) of the 1 Gb ports. If it is 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, or 7, then it it is the 10 Gb ports.
In other words:
bus-info: 0000:16:00.0 <-- function 0 = 10 Gb port
bus-info: 0000:16:00.4 <-- function 4 = 1 Gb port
In the previous example, 'eth0' is one (1) of the 10 GB ports.

Symptom
To verify in a Linux Operating System (OS) (Red Hat Enterprise
Linux (RHEL) or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES)) if an
interface is one (1) of the 1 gigabytes (GB) on-board Emulex
interfaces in an M4 X Series system, or one (1) of the 10 GB option
interfaces, users can run the command:
| |
$ethtool -i eth(n)
where: 'n' is the interface number. |
For example:
| |
$ethtool -i eth0
driver: be2net
version: 4.1.425.0
firmware-version: 4.1.425.7
bus-info: 0000:16:00.0 |
If the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) function of that
interface is 4 or 5, it is one (1) of the 1 GB ports. If it is 0,
1, 2, 3, 6, or 7, then it it is the 10 GB ports.
In other words:
| |
bus-info: 0000:16:00.0 <--
function 0 = 10 Gb port
bus-info: 0000:16:00.4 <-- function 4 = 1 Gb port |
In the previous example, 'eth0' is one (1) of the 10 GB
ports.
Affected configurations
The system may be any of the following IBM servers:
- System x3100 M4, type 2582, any model
- System x3250 M4, type 2583, any model
- System x3300 M4, type 7382, any model
- System x3500 M4, type 7383, any model
- System x3530 M4, type 7160, any model
- System x3550 M4, type 5459, any model
- System x3550 M4, type 7914, any model
- System x3630 M4, type 7158, any model
- System x3650 M4, type 7915, any model

Additional information
The listed procedure confirms which Linux interface is for the
on-board 1 GB NIC or the 10 GB options.
