We have a Dell poweredge 6650 with 6 network interfaces. Two are built in and are not used. The other four are on two dual Ether Express 100 cards. Only one of these is configured, eth0:
DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=10.1.20.128 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes However, at boot time no ethernet interfaces are started. If I run 'service network restart' immediately after boot then eth0 is started correctly. Looking at the boot process, it seems that the is_available function in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions is failing. It does ip -o link | grep -q $1 Where $1 is the eth0 etc. The first time it is run this fails for eth0,1 and 2 but works for eth3, but afterwards it works for all interfaces (which is why the service network restart works). This is on a redhat 7.2 + updates system. Can anyone point me at things to try to get this to work? As an added complication, the machine is in Denmark and I am in Holland; it is not connected to the internet (and even if it was, trying to configure the only network interface is probably asking for trouble). I'll be going back to work on some other stuff next month or so, and I'm hoping to have some ideas to tackle this before I go. Any help will be appreciated.
