I installed it with the Dell customized iso that downloaded from VMware but I have not been able to get it to show up with ITA. Thanks for the help, --Brian ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2010 16:35:04 -0400 From: sa <[email protected]> Subject: Question about "host already uses address" on PE r610 with Broadcom NetXtreme II To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I have a pair of Dell r610s, each of which has an on board quad port Broadcom network card. Both are running a recently patched CentOS 5.4. I set each server up to use DHCP to get an IP address for eth0. On server 1, I set eth3 to 192.168.253.1. Everything is working as expected. I can access the server via either address. Note that both ports are connected to the same switch. Now I physically move the network cord from eth3 on server1 to eth3 on server2. I turn on server 2 which gets its eth0 address from DHCP. eth3 is set to use the same IP that eth3 on server1 was, 192.168.253.1. However eth3 on server2 fails to come up, issuing this error: Error*, *some other host already uses address 192.168.253.1. So at this point, I have server1 that only has eth0 physically connected to the network. I have server2 that has eth0 and eth3 connected to the network. If I issue an arping 192.168.253.1, I get back the MAC address of eth0 on server1. Then I do the following steps. server2 # ifup eth3 Error*, *some other host already uses address 192.168.253.1. server1 # ifdown eth3 server1 # server2 # ifup eth3 server2 # server2 # ifconfig eth3 eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:21:9B:99:1B:F2 inet addr:192.168.253.1 Bcast:192.168.253.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 .... server2 # ifdown eth3 server1 # ifup eth3 server2 # ifup eth3 Error, some other host already uses address 192.168.253.1. Physically disconnect eth0 on server1 while eth3 is configured and eth3 on server2 comes up with no error. So my question comes down to how is an interface that is not physically connected to the network having this effect? Why does the connection to eth0 seem to be influencing the eth3 settings? Got questions or need more info, let me know.

A Linux host owning a given IP address will respond to an ARP request for that address on any and all interfaces that receive the request, supplying the MAC address of the responding interface. This behavior can be modified by enabling arp_filter for the desired interfaces. echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<netdev>/arp_filter Thomas ________________________________ From: linux-poweredge-bounces-Lists On Behalf Of sa Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 3:35 PM To: linux-poweredge-Lists Subject: Question about "host already uses address" on PE r610 with Broadcom NetXtreme II I have a pair of Dell r610s, each of which has an on board quad port Broadcom network card.
