Description Harald Hoyer 2012-04-26 10:48:39 UTC

Public clone of RHEL6.2 bug 815724 with biosdevname.

Description of problem:

With biosdevname enabled, the second port of Mellanox 10GbE network cards still
use eth interface names on second port of cards. This was seen on HP DL380 G7
with 4 onboard 1GbE NICs and two dual port Mellanox 10GbE cards. All other
interfaces used the expected biosdevname convention.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.2, biosdevname-0.3.11-1.el6.x86_64 

How reproducible:
The customer can reproduce this with a kickstart every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Specify biosdevname=1 command line parameter to the kickstart build.
2. Install RHEL 6.2 through kickstart
3. Observe that the second port on each Mellanox card is eth[1,3], not p2p2,
p3p2 as expected.

Actual results:
The second port on each Mellanox card is eth[1,3]

# ethtool -i eth3
driver: mlx4_en
version: 1.5.4.1 (March 2011)
firmware-version: 2.8.600
bus-info: 0000:0e:00.0
#
# biosdevname -i eth3
# echo $?
2

Expected results:
Those ports should be p2p2, p3p2 as per the biosdevname convention.

Works for me. I've attached the output from the new biosdevname on a host with both cards in it.

Great, thanks!

Hi Robert, it would be great if this can be tested on a embedded device which has a single PCI device, but has 2 ports. I suppose the adapters tested are add-in adapters. Are these adapters available embedded (lan-on-motherboard) form ?

Comment 7 Robert Kennedy 2012-05-03 14:27:45 UTC

Yes, these were add-in PCI cards. I don't know of any manfuacturers shipping either of these chips as embedded. The new sandy bridge servers from Dell offer some form of swappable l-o-m but I believe the only choices so far are the Broadcom mumblemumble and the Intel i350.

I tested the patched biosdevname against an add-in Chelsio T4 and it almost works. It marks port 1 as p5. As you can see, udev also missed the ordering (assuming lowest to highest MAC address ordering is desired).

Can you attach full output of lspci -vvvxxxx and dmidecode ?

Comment 9 jordan hargrave 2012-05-03 19:16:49 UTC

also full output of biosdevname -d

Try this version on the T4 card (and retry on Mellanox)

Looks like it didn't fix the T4 issue (it's still p1p5/p1p2) and caused some problems with the Mellanox CX2, which was working with the previous version (it's now reporting p2p0/p2p2).

Grr..

hmm, we have a customer, who tried the biosdevname version of comment #2

It still doesn't seem to work :-/

Harold, Are you sure you tried the right version? There should be an 'ifIndex' entry if using the correct one.

with biosdevname-0.4.0 first card is correct, but second gets eth3 instead of p3p2

From the output, it seems like the interface 'eth3' is getting an expected name 'p3p2', when 'biosdevname -d' is run from command line. But when system is rebooted the interface eth3 is not getting renamed to p3p2. 

One of the scenarios that could result in this is that there is an entry in '70-persistent-net.rules' with 'ATTR{address}==' with that of eth3. But i guess the possibility of this scenario is already eliminated.

Comment 21 Narendra K 2012-05-31 13:46:42 UTC

The difference in output from comment #14 and #19 seems to be:

The output in comment #14 shows that the 'BIOS device' has no name suggested.

BIOS device:
Kernel name: eth3
Permanent MAC: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
Assigned MAC : XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
Driver: mlx4_en
Driver version: 1.5.4.1 (March 2011)
Firmware version: 2.8.600
Bus Info: 0000:0e:00.0

comment #19 shows the 'BIOS device' as 

> BIOS device: p3p2
> Kernel name: eth3


It could be that the system still has a '70-persistent-net.rules' file ?

yeah, I was suspecting that, too... But I explitcitly advised the tester to remove that rules file and all ifcfg-* which could carry HWADDR.

Will ask again.

new test case biosdevname

see if this makes the bios name appear properly

Comment 25 Robert Kennedy 2012-06-08 15:11:51 UTC

With the biosdevname from Comment #24:

Mellanox ConnectX-2 VPI card (currently set with one port as IB and one port as ethernet) now shows up as p2p0 - I didn't think biosdevname was into the 0-based numbering scheme.

Mellanox ConnectX-3 VPI card shows up as p2p1 (also set with one IB, one ethernet).

Chelsio T3 shows up correctly.

Chelsio T4 testing in unpossible at the moment.

Comment 26 jordan hargrave 2012-06-08 17:26:18 UTC

Hmm, p2p0 is still wrong :( not sure what is wrong.  Thanks for the help.  Do you have lspci -vvvvxxxx/biosdevname/biosdecode/dmidecode dumps for the X2 card?

Comment 27 Robert Kennedy 2012-06-08 17:42:46 UTC

The last set of attachments should still be valid for lspci and dmidecode:

Comment 29 jordan hargrave 2012-06-14 19:41:55 UTC

Robert, can you test that latest biosdevname test I uploaded on Monday?

Comment 30 Robert Kennedy 2012-06-14 19:55:09 UTC

Jordan -

Mellanox ConnectX-2 VPI card shows up as p2p1 (correct AFAIK)
Mellanox ConnectX-3 VPI card shows up as p2p1 (correct AFAIK)
Both were set with ib, eth for their port configs.

Chelsio T3 shows up correctly (p1p1 and p1p2).
Chelsio T4 testing still not possible.

When we finish up some other testing I can flip the bits on the Mellanox port configs and see what happens with eth, eth.

Hi Harald,

Did you get a chance to rule out '70-persistent-net.rules' and 'ifcfg-*' files ?
