NIC not coming online
by james000 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#587KF)
Hello,
I have been struggling to bring Dell R740 on network, but no success, need some help. I am installing OVM 3.4.6, which I Linux based from Oracle. There are two 1 gb network card and two 10gb network card. I am concerned about 1gig card as of now because there I will create bonding and will bring server online. 10gig will be used to connect SAN, so that can be ignored as of now.
Network guys enabled switch port and did all cabling, but ethtool shows "Link detected" only for first port, i.e. em1. For rest all interfaces it doesn't show any link. I called Dell and he says that hardware is good and I should be contacting Oracle, because OVM is their OS (Linux) which is not able to see NIC properly. Oracle says that first Link should come online, so ideally Dell should tell this.
With attached 3 screenshot output, can somebody help me to narrow down the issue? Please let me know, if you need more details or screenshot from iDRAC console.
I am suspecting it may be driver issue, but not sure what to download and try installing. On other side, if em1 is coming online then other ports also should come online on same card, so no driver issue?
Please advice.
Thanks
