scb2005 eth0 interface gets renamed to eth2
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Host scb2005 fails to join the network for the absence of eth0. The only relevant thing that I can see is the following:

ifup eth0 doesn't work of course.

I can see 4 NICs on scb200[46], could it be a hw problem?

The net persistent rules were playing a role here (or looks so).
Removing /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and rebooting was able to bring eth0 back (I did a backup and placed it under /home/marostegui/)

However, from the original one, to the current one, there are no longer 4 interfaces, but only two as can be seen:

root@scb2005:~# ifconfig -a
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 18:66:da:7d:ac:b4
          inet addr:10.192.0.34  Bcast:10.192.3.255  Mask:255.255.252.0

          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
          Interrupt:19

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 18:66:da:7d:ac:b5
          BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
          Interrupt:16

However, none of those have link:

root@scb2005:~# mii-tool eth0
eth0: no link
root@scb2005:~# mii-tool eth1
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth1' failed: Resource temporarily unavailable

@Papaul can you check if there is link on that interface?

@Marostegui no link on eth0 or eth1 . I replaced the network cable same problem. When i plugged the cable on NIC 3 and NIC 4 i have link.
In the ILO under the HW section i can see only NIC 3 and 4 no NIC 1 and 2

Which mac addresses do you see for NIC3 and NIC4?
For me:
eth0: 18:66:da:7d:ac:b4
eth1: 18:66:da:7d:ac:b5

Does any of those correlate with mac addresses you see?
I can try to rename the interfaces to the ones you see so eth0 points to the one with link from your side. But looks like HW issue anyways.

NIC.Embedded.3-1-1 Ethernet = 18:66:DA:7D:AC:B4
NIC.Embedded.4-1-1 Ethernet = 18:66:DA:7D:AC:B5

That does sound like motherboard issues. a quick look in RAC's logs does not show anything though.

Marostegui claimed this task.

I did a second reboot and the mac addresses cache remained untouched and the server is back up normally.
However, only two interfaces are shown:

I am closing this because the server is up, but there might be a HW issue underneath with one of the physical NICs.
