The installer fails by itself, it can be worked around by manually turning the interface up and running udhcpd:
ip link set up dev enp175s0f0np0 udhcpd -i enp175s0f0np0
And then skipping to the next step in the install process works (re-running the network config says it passed, but then it loses the network again).
to test
upgrade nic firmware
Something to try is to update the network firmware, has to be done before starting the reimage of the host:
sre.hardware.upgrade-firmware
set nics in legacy mode in the bios
Where it happened so far
This has happened so far with:
- cloudcephosd1006 - manually reinstalled
- cloudcephosd1007 - manually reinstalled
- cloudcephosd1008 - manually reinstalled
Solution
Upgrading the nic firmware to 21.85.21.92 allowed the reimage to get through.
