IS there any way to update the Intel drivers on Proxmox 5.1?
We are experiencing crashes on our hosts where periodically one of our 14 hosts will crash with a kernel panic on the console. When this happens all other hosts on the switch also go offline until we find the offending host and power cycle the one with the kernel panic. When we do this all other hosts start communicating again. This is identical to a scenario described in this thread although they are talking about a Proxmox 3.1 cluster. The description of the problem is identical to our Proxmox 5.1 cluster.
One of the suggested remedies is to update the NIC drivers. So I looked into this and the latest drivers available on the Intel site is Release 5.3.3 available at this link. When I check what version of the driver we are using by looking in /var/log/kern.log I see the following indicating we are using version 5.2.3:
So my question is this, is there any way to update the drivers used in a Proxmox 5.1 installation or do we have to wait for an update from Proxmox?
