Hi Peter, We have quite a few C6420's in various clusters. We have an issue on some Dell nodes that I don't recall if it's the C6420's or just other poweredge servers. On some Dell nodes,CentOS names interfaces as "p1p2". We worked around that with a customized "confignetwork" postscript to update the "grep" that finds available interfaces ... https://github.com/ncsa/xcat-tools/blob/9f62e142a4d4bb7c2850634a65ed791fe2de070c/postscripts/confignetwork#L117 Cheers, --Andy
