Hi Berry,

You did provide /etc/sysconfig/hardware for the second nic? If not the 
/etc/sysconfig/network doesn't kick in as the hardware is not picked up.

Best regards,
Pieter Harder

Onderwerp: How to activate 2nd nic

Hello listers,

I'm trying to get the second nic working in an SLES10 guest. In one guest I 
succeeded but I don't know why. I had been tinkering in several places 
including with yast. But once it worked I still didn't figure out what the 
trick was.

The guest has two nic's defined in VM, both qdio, connected to a vswitch.

nlzlx213:/ # vmcp q v nic
Adapter 0F00.P00 Type: QDIO      Name: devclaw     Devices: 3
  MAC: 02-00-00-00-00-11         VSWITCH: SYSTEM OSNLINUX
Adapter 0F10.P00 Type: QDIO      Name: devclaw     Devices: 3
  MAC: 02-00-00-00-00-12         VSWITCH: SYSTEM TSM1

The ifconfig shows eth0, eth1 and lo. But the nlzlx214, the second machine, 
(almost) identical to the nlzlx213 only shows eth0 and lo.
Activating eth1 shows:

nlzlx214:~ # ifup eth1
Interface eth1 is not available

rcnetwork restart only restarts eth0.

I also tried to activate with yast, the eth0 (device f00) show as just f00. The 
devices that should be used for eth1, f10-f12, are listed seperatly. After 
creating the configuration files in /etc/sysconfig/network, just like in the 
nlzlx213 machine, I do see the config on device f10, but f11 and f12 show not 
configured.

Somewhere along the route I have missed a step. I expected to create the 
configuration in /etc/sysconfig/network would be enough but apparently I need 
to do something more. So the question, how to activate and configure the second 
nic? I do prefer to do this without yast, not only because I don't succeed with 
yast as well, but also to see what has to be done here.
