HP ProLiant DL380 G6 no networking

[ryttge]

Wanted to switch from ESXi to Proxmox since Proxmox seems to be the better alternative.

However when i could not get any network with Proxmox.

Ping 127.0.0.1 worked

Ping 192.168.1.1 (gateway) didn't

Everything is "standard"

Interfaces looks like this

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet manual


auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.1.220
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0

bnx2 drivers installed

syslog just said something in the lines of

vmbr0: port 1 eth0 enterd disabled state

Tried switching to eth1 same problem there. Cables in both NIC's

I just want to make sure Proxmox 4.0 is actually able to run on a G6 and if it is what do i need to do to make it work?

After further digging Debian registers 4 NIC's it seems like eth0 and eth1 is not working and the 2 physical ports are eth2 and eth3. This raises another question. How do i use both NIC's? can i just do like this?

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth2 inet manual
iface eth3 inet manual


auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.1.220
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge_ports eth2
bridge_ports eth3
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0

please try 'ifconfig eth0 up' first.
if that doesn't work...

Send the output from the following commands :
lspci | grep Ethernet
dmesg | grep eth

Also, make sure that all ethernet devices are enabled in the systems BIOS.
Should the system only report eth2 & eth3, these can be renamed to eth0 and eth1 in a file located in /etc/udev/rules.d/
Check for 'net-persistent.rules' to find the correct file.
This file lists the hardware (pci bus location & MAC address) and the logical interface name (eth0 through eth3)
