EVE-NG does not work with QLogic 4x10GE NIC

Before posting something, READ the changelog, WATCH the videos, howto and provide following:
Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

EVE-NG does not work with QLogic 4x10GE NIC

Post by Zatt » Tue Feb 05, 2019 7:19 pm

Hello,

I have a Dell R640 : 2 CPU Intel Xeon Gold 2.40GHz, 128G RAM, PERC H730P, 2TB HDD and ... QLogic 4*10GE as Ethernet NIC.

I tried several times to install EVE-NG with Bare Metal setup.
The setup of Ubuntu works as well even if I had to add QLogic drivers to setup my NICs.
No problem to rename this NIC as "eth0" as requested.

The issue appeared after the setup of EVE-NG (wget -O - http://www.eve-ng.net/repo/install-eve.sh | bash -i ) and reboot.
As this point, the "eth0" interface disappeared. The "lshw -C network" output report that NIC are "Unclaimed".
"lsmod" shows that "qed" and "qede" (drivers modules) are loaded but it does not work.
At this step I can't reinstall the drvier ("make install" failed).

Could you please advise?

Regards,

Try this:
sometimes quad card due the linux kernel mess up numbering/order of interfaces.
Try physically find which port on your server responds that eth0/pnet0. Just plug your cable in next NIC port. in ifconfig you will see when traffic start RX/TX pass through.
I can be second NIC port.

Example if moved name for one step:
NIC is your server ethernet interface.

NIC0--pnet3/eth3
NIC1-pnet0/eth0
NIC2-pnet1/eth1
NIC3-pnet2/eth2
