Hello all. We recently purchased HP Proliant DL380 G7 server and also a HP Lefthand P4500 G2 24TB iSCSI box. The server itself has Quad Ethernet based on the BCM5709 Chipset from Broadcom (NetXtreme II). My main question is about iSCSI offload mechanism, as iSCSI itself is pretty new to me but I have gotten a good hold on it tho. I have managed to setup and configured our Lefthand box into our iSCSI Network. iSCSI network : 192.168.200.0/24 I have also ma...

I've just installed CentOS 5.4 on an IBM server with a BCM5709 network adapter, and can't get networking to work. It looks like an appropriate driver (bnx2) is installed, lspci and the system log return sensible info on the unit, there are no specific error message anywhere, but I get "no link present" when I try to activate the device. In o...

Has anyone managed to get CentOS 6 x86_64 running on a server with a Broadcom NetXtremeII BCM5709 network adaptor? If so have you seen any issues with the network freezing? On booting everything works fine then the network will just stop - can't ping anything. If we manually restart the network service it will run again for a few seconds/minutes before hanging again. We have even installed...

...am trying to determine if this is pointing to a hardware or software issue. Some of the Google results suggested using a Centosplus kernel - is this a good idea? The server is a HP DL380 G7 Server with 4 GB RAM (1 DIMM 1333 MHz), one 4-core CPU (2133 MHz), 4 built-in Broadcom "NetExtreme II BCM5709 II Gigabit Ethernet" NICs, and a P410 Smart Array Controller. The P410 and the system BIOS have both been updated to the latest levels to see if that fixes the crashes, with no change. Any idea where I should look next? Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

I do start the xen kernel at grub but when I try to connect and/or creat a new domU the folling

Hi, I need to fit at least three NICs and I was looking for motherboard models that contain 3 or 4 CPI (or PCI-e) slots and works with CentOS. I had a problem in the past with some models that had a bug and did not work well with linux (ok with windows) so that's way I am asking this here. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi guys, i have 4 Xen servers, two with Xen 3.2.1 and the other two with Xen 4. All four servers with 3 network card attached to different networks, 3 of these interfaces are bridges (configured in the ''/etc/network/interfaces'' config file, NOT in xend-config.sxp file) and one is used for the ISCSI service, where the virtual machines are loaded. The problem is,
