bl20 g3 only showing 1 nic

Garabedy — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 17:47:44 GMT

I have a bl20 winth windows 2008R2 Stabndard. I can only see 1 NIC, the BIOS has them all enabled, just reset NVRAM. What could be causing this. I have other blades with all 4 nics showing? Checked the settings in the GBe2 Interconnect swtich and all setting are the same accross all blades. Need some help.

There's a chassi admin interface too, maybe there's a setting in there.

If you have a free slot in the chassi maybe you could try to move the blade and see if it is the same there.

Are the other blades in the same enclosure?

If the enclosure in which the blade is installed is a non-enhanced backplane then one NIC will not be seen as it is taken for iLO connectivity.
