We have a large problem determining which NICS in a multiple-NIC machine
will come up as eth0 for kickstart to proceed.
If I have a Compaq DL580 with 2 onboard NICs and a PCI Gigabit, the PCI
Gigabit will probe first. I need to figure out how to determine the
probe order and somehow tell anaconda to always choose the onboard
(across different servers - DL360, DL380, DL580, etc).
Can I mess with hwdata and somehow hard code the PCI table information
for specific platforms?
Even the Taroon installer does not seem configurable in an
Enterprise-aware fashion. I can pull the GigE NIC and it works, but
this is not Enterprise ready. When I'm managing 50 of these servers
remotely and I need to re-kickstart, I need to specify to use the
onboard. I cannot have someone go yank 50 GigE cards in the middle of
the night or whatever. I cannot kickstart over GigE because the GigE is
on a private VLAN.
Any ideas? Thanks.
