BL460C-G6 no network in RHEL5.3 on clone of a working machine
Hello,
I've got a very strange problem and i hope someone here can help me to understand this.
Some important infos about my system:
c7000 Chassis
Flex10 module with 3.40 Firmware
BL460c-G6 with RHEL 5.3 installed
Step1:
Created Flex10 Server Profile (2 Nics in the same vlan)
Installed RHEL 5.3 on a Blade using this profile
Configured Network Bonding, tested....network is working, everyting is OK
Step2:
Cloning the Blade with Clonezilla
Step3:
Deployed the Clonezilla Image to another Blade (same Hardware)
Copied the Flex10 Server Profile and deployed it to the Server
Started server and changed IP Adress in the config files
reboot
No network connection!
Deleted all network configs -> reboot -> wrote new network config -> reboot
Still no network connection!
removed bnx2x module, bonding module from modprobe.conf an deleted all network config files -> reboot
Loadet modules manually -> error message:
----------------------------------------------
[bnx2x_stats_comp:3110(eth0)]timeout waiting for stats finished
[bnx2x_wait_ramrod:6233(eth0)]timeout waiting for state 3000 on IDX [0]
[bnx2x_nix_load:6409(eth0)]Setup leading failed!
----------------------------------------------
lspci shows 8 Broadcom BCM57711E interfaces on both servers
cat /sys/class/net/eth0/address shows the correct mac adress of the new server profile
The next thing i've tried to delete the server profile and create a new one...without success.
I hope someone has a hint for me whats wrong!
If you need more information, do not hesitate to ask me.
thanks
Stefan

Re: BL460C-G6 no network in RHEL5.3 on clone of a working machine
Hi Stefan,
Are you including the MAC addresses in your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-... files ?
I've also been having fun setting up BL460c G6s recently. Notably the numbering of the NICs kept changing around, so what I thought was eth0 got swapped with eth2 and vice versa...
Cheers,
Rob

Re: BL460C-G6 no network in RHEL5.3 on clone of a working machine
Hi Rob,
No, i was not including the mac addresses in the config files.
I've figured out whats the problem last night. There is not any problem with linux, it was a firmware thing. What i've done:
- Updated my Flex10 Modules to version 3.1
- Updated all ilo Firmwares to 2.0
- Started the Firmware update DVD on all Blades (installed a firmware update for the Qlogic Mezzanine).
After that prozedure and a reboot, the nic's are working fine on the clones.
I have no idea why only the clones where not working (but i think it was the ilo update).
Thanks for your help
best,
Stefan
