Centos 6.9 compatibility with Lenovo ThinkSystem
Posted: 2018/03/08 11:03:22
from Lenovo OSIG site, Lenovo SR530 supports RHEL 6.9, so I guess this server can also run Centos 6.9 as well...
however, after trying both the minimal and full ISO of Centos 6.9, I still cannot get the network ports running...
I have already upgraded the Intel XL710 driver (which supports RHEL 6.9 x64) to the latest version, but sill I cant see the ports RUNNING status, they only indicate UP, BROADCAST, MULTICAST...VLAN access of the switchports I used are correct, because I confirmed it using another machine.
all LAN ports are also enabled in UEFI, and have confirmed the new driver was loaded by the kernel...
anyone has the same issue with a Lenovo server? thanks for any input
