Bare Metal Installation - errors

[jonfon]

Hello All I have a Cisco USC server 220M4 and I would like to get the bare metal install per the ISO

when I installed it I notice I have two issue that are stopping me from getting this server up and working

1. when I reboot the server the Pnet0-9 is not linked to a eth0 - 5 interface. I have only one Nic connected to the network which is eth4 and that would link to pnet4 but that is not the case.
If I reboot the server it does not connect to Pnet4 but it will jump from Pnet 3 to Pnet 0 and if I am lucky it will get on pnet4. I change the /etc/network/interface file to select pnet4 since if
I add IP and gw information to eth4 it will not work. I also use the hwaddress <mac address> setting to this will always select the eth4 via the mac address but that did not work as well.

I would like to know what utility or how to set up the /etc/network/interface file to always select the Nic I have connected to the network and always connect to the network.

2. the other issue i have is I have disable TPM on the bios and it still have a message per console screen and filling up the dmesg logs with
tpm tpm0: tpm_try_transmit: send(): error -62

I tried to remove the module in grub but I get an error stating this is a build in mod. I also looked at installing TPM utility but that did not work. I also
tried the systemctl command to suppress this but that did not work. It seem the server has a tpm chip for 1.2 per the information below

oot@ssdc-eve-ng:~#

[ 5.587687] tpm_tis 00:04: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0x3205, rev-id 80)
[ 5.593355] tpm tpm0: TPM is disabled/deactivated (0x6)
[ 5.608695] tpm tpm0: tpm_try_transmit: send(): error -62

root@ssdc-eve-ng:~# tpm_setenable --disable
Tspi_Context_Connect failed: 0x00003011 - layer=tsp, code=0011 (17), Communication failure



I would like to know if there is a solution to this issue. If you can assist with a way to disable this service or kill the message that would be good.

thank you

on Eve Pro we have a script that you can use to change eth (pnet) interfaces order

as for tpm just ignore it.
