DataDirect Networks SFA™ OS 2.2.1.3 Release Notes Revision A1 | 11
If you install a version of GRIDScaler older than 2.0.0 or EXAScaler older than 1.6.1
and you are using enhanced network management in the VMs (sr-iov virtual function
interfaces), you could run in to an Ethernet ordering issue during installation where
eth0 may not be associated with the expected driver. This could result in failure of
user mode networking (the port 555x access) or other problems.
A workaround is to temporarily un-bind the virtual function interfaces from the stack
using CLUI. Once installation is complete, re-associate the virtual function interfaces
with the VMs and then configure networking.
IOC index 01792 is associated with the first SFA controller's first Ethernet port. IOC
index 01793 is associated with the first SFA controller's second Ethernet port IOC
index 34560 is associated with the second SFA controller's first Ethernet port IOC
index 34561 is associated with the second SFA controller's second ethernet port
The following CLUI example would unbind the virtual function interfaces from
stacks configured by default on systems leaving DDN:
app unbind stack 0 ioc 01792
app unbind stack 0 ioc 01793
app unbind stack 1 ioc 01792
app unbind stack 1 ioc 01793
app unbind stack 2 ioc 01792
app unbind stack 2 ioc 01793
app unbind stack 3 ioc 01792
app unbind stack 3 ioc 01793
app unbind stack 32768 ioc 34560
app unbind stack 32768 ioc 34561
app unbind stack 32769 ioc 34560
app unbind stack 32769 ioc 34561
app unbind stack 32770 ioc 34560
app unbind stack 32770 ioc 34561
app unbind stack 32771 ioc 34560
app unbind stack 32771 ioc 34561
At this point, to complete the installation, start up your stacks as you normally would
using CLUI.
After installation is complete on all the VMs, you can re-bind the virtual function
interfaces and shutdown/startup the VMs to make use of the interfaces. Here is an
example using CLUI:
app bind stack 0 ioc 01792
app bind stack 0 ioc 01793
app bind stack 1 ioc 01792
app bind stack 1 ioc 01793
app bind stack 2 ioc 01792
app bind stack 2 ioc 01793
app bind stack 3 ioc 01792
app bind stack 3 ioc 01793
app bind stack 32768 ioc 34560
app bind stack 32768 ioc 34561
app bind stack 32769 ioc 34560
app bind stack 32769 ioc 34561
