Proxmox on VRTX

Damn.
Ok, yeah it looks like it could be a pain in the butt to figure out the exact solution then.

Can you give us the output of:
Just to check if the parameter is set correctly.
Bash:
# cat /proc/cmdline
I have not seen or touched one of these in quite a few years, but if memory serves the standard switch has 8 ports facing in, which are typically configured as 2 per node. Unless you actively set the MC to change that behavior, thats all you SHOULD be seeing. How many nodes do you have in your chassis anyway?
I have 4 blades. I also have 4 dual port 10gb nics in the PCIe backplane and one is assigned to each blade. The only thing I can think of is proxmox needs a dirver to communicate with the fabric properly?
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.8.4-3-pve root=/dev/mapper/pve-root ro quiet pci=realloc=off
Not likely. VRTX doesnt actually do pci fabric, its a simple routing. a node has exclusive access to that hardware, and it shows on its individual node's PCI root. it either shows up, or it doesnt.
on lspci, what are all the nics you see and what are their pci addresses?

I suppose I need to figure how to do this manually, bind the ID to a logical name since Linux isn't doing it.
great, so all 4 nics are visible.
since they all looks like they use the same hardware, it is most likely that they all use the same kernel module, which means they're likely all loaded. what does
ip l
show

@alexskysilk Dude, we've literally covered exactly this in the posts on the previous page:

so you did...
you need to add pci=realloc=off to your kernel boot line. I see you already did.
IF you have dell support entitlement might need to give them a call. I'm fresh out of useful ideas except replace the nic with intel...

one other possibility (not likely but worth a try)
do you have firmware-bnx2 installed? its in the nonfree repo so you may need to add it to your repo list to install.
