I'm facing a weired problem. I have a 7000 blade encloser consisting of BL460C blade server. And the OS is RHEL ES 4.5. All servers consisting 2 NIC card. One NIC card is has 172.16.110.x series and another one is 172.16.111.x series.
Primary IP is 172.16.110.x series. When I ping primary IP it replying normally. But whenever I ping my secondary NIC it comes after 20-30 sec.
Not only that, most of the time I found the secondary NIC inactive.
Why the secondary NIC goes inactive? How can I resolve this?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: NIC inactive problem in RHEL ES 4.5 in BL460c server
check nic driver. As you said the second nic goes inactive, it seems that problem is with driver/kernel mismatch..

Re: NIC inactive problem in RHEL ES 4.5 in BL460c server
In this case, its important to know what interconnects you have installed. If h/w setup is fine, then probably you can flash the f/w (firmware) for the NIC you have an issue and check if you have an update for the NIC drivers.
