Does anyone on the list have HP DL170h G6 blade chassis's on their floor? Ours came with the on-board NIC mac addresses programmed in descending order, I'm curious if this is something new, I've never seen this done before. Every machine we have on the floor now has them in ascending order.
The downside to the nic enumeration is that in bios eth0 is eth0 and pxe's from eth0, however, when inside anaconda (redhat) eth0 is really eth1, and thus kickstart cant run. The only time i've seen this happen is when the nic drivers load out of order, but that's easy to fix in the initrd HP gave me a bunch of software workarounds, that I'm not overly happy with, but I'd rather not have to put in a bunch of workarounds all over the place for these specific machines. Does anyone know if this is firmware flash fixable? HP refuses to acknowledge the question... _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
