SOLVED Chelsio

[NugentS]

Is a Chelsio T520-CR supported on Scale?
I just repurposed a Core box (minus a few drives) to a scale box and its not seeing the Chelsio card

Unfortunately I can't go look at it till next week

I assume its supported in Debian?
We use many Chelsio NICs at iXsystems... so it would be a bit surprising if not supported.

That's kinda what I thought - so this has got me scratching my head a bit. This box ran Core, with the Chelsio. Maybe I knocked summat when I took the Optane's out. I'll look next week when I can get to the box

Question: How long does it take a retired network engineer to figure out that he's turned off the port on the switch and there is nothing wrong with the card.

Sigh

Let me guess: 18 days? ;-)

And I only replaced the card three times, the SFP+'s twice

and if I had any hair - it would have been torn out

My commiserations.... I guess its only network engineers that turn their network ports off.

So your works in Scale?

 

[NugentS]

yes

 

[Casobs2]

yes

Did you have to do any configuration?

My Scale system "sees" the card, but does not list it as an interface.

it shows the cxgb4 driver, but I have a feeling it needs to load the cxgbe driver. On CORE it seems to work, at most you need to change the loader.conf, but seem to having issues with SCALE.

 

[NugentS]

Nope - it just worked.

enp3s0f4d1 is one of my Chelsio Ports, the other is behind br0
