PX VE 6.2-4 Doesnt Show FC Boards

[otavio.rievert]

Greetings everyone!

In My work we have 2 PX VE on a cluster configuration, and just want to add another node. The instalation looks clean, but the server cant find the FC boards i'm installing to use it on a SAN environment.

I try 3 different boards:
EMULEX LPE12000 Gb FC;
Qlogic LSI 2434 FC;
Qlog 10Gb Ethernet Board;

dmesg and lspci | grep fibre doesnt show any trace of the boards.

What am I doing wrong?

Have you examined the dmesg in depth? It doesn't necessarily need to be "fibre". Look for any possible presence line by line.
But also - can you see them during the POST boot or in the bios?

There is really so many avenues for investigation and very little details on what you have done/seen.
There should be some indication in logs, but perhaps your Bios is the culprit.

@bbgeek17 thx for the reply, right now I'm trying again to put the board on and look in the post.

i'll reply after the new battery of tests.

After some new tests, find out that the EMULEX 1200 its dead.

The LSI2432 just show up on Ubuntu 16.04lts, but not the PX VE, on the POST of the server, no errors was displayed, and investigating the dmesg and kernel.log, no information about the board was found.

Kernel log is attached.

You should do a bit more research for this hardware. If its seen by vanilla Ubuntu, do "lspci -k" to check what module is used to support it. Plugging "LSI2432" into a google search does not bring up much, so it may be something rare and PVE kernel does not have built in support for it. You will have to compile the missing modules then.
