wikikube-ctrl2002: Switch network cable from port 2 to port 1 on the 10G NIC
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In T379629: wikikube-ctrl1001.eqiad.wmnet fails PXE boot we figured out that PXE boot does not work reliably when we use port 2 on the BCM57412.

We should switch from port 2 to port 1 because of this and to adhere to our general default.

After switching the port a cold reboot might be required so that the card does detect link. Also the BIOS settings need changing:

  • Ensure PXE is disabled on all embedded NIC ports
  • Ensure PXE is enabled on all 10G NIC ports
  • Ensure Port 1 is first in the boot order list (after Harddrive C:)

As the server is in service, we need to coordinate a short maintenance window.

I could do this today. or we can wait until next week. assuming no one wants to do a maintenance on a friday.

@Jhancock.wm swapped the cable into port 1, I've changed BIOS settings and the server is back up. Thanks!
