** Description changed: - I am using MAAS to commission and install machines. When I attempt to commission a machine with a "82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+" network adapter the following happens: + [Impact] + MAAS commissioning may fail when deploying Xenial images or using grubx64.efi from Xenial due to hardware particularities of some Intel 82599-based network cards. Other network manufacturers may be affected as well. The main failure mode appears to be an infinite re-send of some packets because of an unexpected response from the network hardware. + + [Test case] + + + [Regression potential] + As this affects network in EFI mode; any failure to netboot using EFI should be considered a possible regression. Systems may fail to receive data from the network boot server and terminate the process with a timeout. Another possible failure scenario is to fail to receive complete data over the network, or data corruption. + + ---- + + I am using MAAS to commission and install machines. When I attempt to commission a machine with a "82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+" network adapter the following happens: 1) TFTP Request — bootx64.efi 2) TFTP Request — /grubx64.efi 3) Console hangs at grub prompt If I go into bios and force the adapter above into legacy mode then the machine is able to network boot and run through the commission process. 1) TFTP Request — ubuntu/amd64/generic/trusty/release/boot-initrd 2) TFTP Request — ubuntu/amd64/generic/trusty/release/boot-kernel 3) TFTP Request — ifcpu64.c32 4) PXE Request — power off 5) TFTP Request — pxelinux.cfg/01-90-e2-ba-52-23-78 6) TFTP Request — pxelinux.cfg/71e3f102-bd8b-11e4-b634-3c18a001c80a 7) TFTP Request — pxelinux.0 Also, if I disconnect the cable to the adapter above and connect a cable to the integrated "I210 Gigabit" adapter which is configured for UEFI mode. The machine is able to network boot grubx64.efi and run through the commission process. ~$ dpkg -l '*maas*'|cat Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-=====================================-==================================-============-=============================================================================== ii maas 1.7.2+bzr3355-0ubuntu1~trusty1 all MAAS server all-in-one metapackage ii maas-cli 1.7.2+bzr3355-0ubuntu1~trusty1 all MAAS command line API tool ii maas-cluster-controller 1.7.2+bzr3355-0ubuntu1~trusty1 all MAAS server cluster controller ii maas-common 1.7.2+bzr3355-0ubuntu1~trusty1 all MAAS server common files ii maas-dhcp 1.7.2+bzr3355-0ubuntu1~trusty1 all MAAS DHCP server ii maas-dns 1.7.2+bzr3355-0ubuntu1~trusty1 all MAAS DNS server ii maas-proxy 1.7.2+bzr3355-0ubuntu1~trusty1 all MAAS Caching Proxy ii maas-region-controller 1.7.2+bzr3355-0ubuntu1~trusty1 all MAAS server complete region controller ii maas-region-controller-min 1.7.2+bzr3355-0ubuntu1~trusty1 all MAAS Server minimum region controller ii python-django-maas 1.7.2+bzr3355-0ubuntu1~trusty1 all MAAS server Django web framework ii python-maas-client 1.7.2+bzr3355-0ubuntu1~trusty1 all MAAS python API client ii python-maas-provisioningserver 1.7.2+bzr3355-0ubuntu1~trusty1 all MAAS server provisioning libraries ~$
