Hi,

I have a 4 node cluster on 7.4.17 and started to upgrade to 8.1.4.

First node went fine (this one is using the qlcnic driver as its a HP NC523SCP) , but second one, the 10GB nic is having problem getting working.

Its a "Hewlett-Packard Company NC522SFP Dual Port 10GbE Server Adapter"

tried to downgrade the pve-firmware as low as I could but it did not work.

I removed the server from the cluster and did a re-install.. also did not work.

Weird part is, it tried to do a DHCP on one of the ports while running the installer.. so it must see it.

drivers is the same version from 7.4.17 to 8.1.3/4.

when doing a lspci, the card is there but i see errors in dmesg:



Code:
root@node2:~# dmesg | grep -i netxen

any pointer I can take a look at ?

Thanks
 
Have you checked if there are firmware updates available for the NIC? Especially with newer kernels where the drivers might change, it can be necessary to update the firmware.

I never needed a external driver with v7.x.x all is already there.. I did take a look at the package files on debian's website and all is there.. phanfw.bin and all..

and firmware for that driver is the same on both version.. 4.0.82 :)
