Hi, Folks:
We'd like to use 10GB interfaces to enable fast interconnects between two
Oracle servers. However, we've hit a couple problems as follows:
Date: 02/24/2014
Problem statement: Cannot access either of a pair of 10GB NIC Fiber cards with
SFPs attached.
Machine: HP ProLiant DL560 Gen8
Kernel: RHEL 6.5 2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64
Driver:
/lib/modules/2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe.ko
Problem: I cannot get these cards to be recognized by the kernel.
Error Message: From /var/log/dmesg
ixgbe: Intel(R) 10 Gigabit PCI Express Network Driver - version 3.15.1-k
ixgbe: Copyright (c) 1999-2013 Intel Corporation.

detected.
ixgbe 0000:07:00.0: Reload the driver after installing a supported module.
ixgbe 0000:07:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
Problem #2 Statement: We cannot build a fresh version of ixgbe kernel module.
Build environment: gcc (GCC) 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4)
Support files: /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64/
Error messages are of this form:

was here
It probably shouldn't be necessary to build the kernel driver at all. However,
we're unable to get the stock RHEL driver to work. Your perspective would be
appreciated.
Thanks!
