[Info-vax] BL860c i2 Network Issues

[funniray]

Hi all,

I can't seem to figure out how to get networking to work on my BL860c i2 blades. My BL860c blades work fine in the same C7000 chassis running the same version of VMS though (8.4-2L3).

Whenever I go to setup networking, it shows 16 different interfaces. I've tried to manually assign IPs to all of these interfaces, but I couldn't ping any of them. I've also tried DHCP on all of the interfaces and all of them failed to get DHCP addresses. My BL860c (non-i2) blades are able to retrieve IPs over DHCP and they work fine on OpenVMS. Additionally, I remember being able to install windows on this same blade and get an IP address on it.

I should also mention that if I do MC LANCP SHO DEV /CHA, none of the mac addresses shown in the command are the same mac addresses that iLO claims this blade has (for example, the command shows a mac address of 00-21-5A-9C-36-1A when iLO says the mac address should be close to AC:16:2D:91:52:BA

If this helps, the blade switch I'm using is a gigabit Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 and the NIC in the blade just shows as a Flex-10 Embedded Ethernet.

I'm able to send more details if needed.
