Hello all,
I am upgrading the network connection on an HP ML350 G6 running SME 8.2 to 10Gb-E SFP+ (this is part of a system migration to a KVM-hosted virtual SME with remote filesystem, see my problems with iSCSI persistence, the ML350 will be replaced after the New Year so is not going to be upgraded to SME 9 or 10 -- anticipating some questions).
I have an HP-supported (expensive!) 2-port SFP+ network card which is recognised by the system on boot up, and I can select it as the default NIC from the admin console, I can manually set the ports up, but it is not in use, and the system complains about the MAC address being wrong.
On more recent systems I would delete the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules stanza so it would get rebuilt. Messing with the /etc/udev/60-net.rules achieved nothing so where's the MAC cached?
I don't know what the equivalent to fix this is on SME 8.2 and some mild searching has not given me a clue.
Can someone give me a clue, please?
TIA!
MeJ
