Hi,
due to 75-persistent-net-generator.rules ignoring vmware ethernet
cards, eth device numbering is broken for vmxnet3 devices as the
PCI bus id is not sorted for them.
Depending on the type of your scsi/sas controller (yay!), the
pci bus ids of the vmxnet3 cards either start at 03:00.0 or
0b:00.0. Unfortunately the 4th (if starting with 0b:00.0)
or the 5th vmxnet3 network interface is assigned a pci id
smaller than the first interface...
Looking at my vmxnet rules might make it easier to understand
the problem than trying to understand my explanation. Rules
are rolled out by puppet, depending on the pci id of the
scsi/sas controller (or if there is a vmxnet device with
/03:00.0/).
So with
03:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068
PCI-X Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 01)
we have
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:0b:00.0"
DRIVERS=="vmxnet3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:13:00.0"
DRIVERS=="vmxnet3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:1b:00.0"

DRIVERS=="vmxnet3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth3"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:0c:00.0"
DRIVERS=="vmxnet3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth4"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:14:00.0"
DRIVERS=="vmxnet3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth5"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:1c:00.0"
DRIVERS=="vmxnet3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth6"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:05:00.0"
DRIVERS=="vmxnet3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth7"
and if there is no sas controller on 03:00.0, we have
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:03:00.0"
DRIVERS=="vmxnet3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:0b:00.0"
DRIVERS=="vmxnet3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:13:00.0"
DRIVERS=="vmxnet3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth2"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:1b:00.0"
DRIVERS=="vmxnet3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth3"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:04:00.0"
DRIVERS=="vmxnet3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth4"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:0c:00.0"
DRIVERS=="vmxnet3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth5"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:14:00.0"
DRIVERS=="vmxnet3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth6"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:1c:00.0"
DRIVERS=="vmxnet3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth7"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:05:00.0"
DRIVERS=="vmxnet3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth8"
That works as expected, assuming that there was
a puppet run after adding the first network interface.
Not that nice...
e1000 and the old vmxnet works as expected.
A fix would be nice..
thanks,
bernd
