Description | After installation of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 on a system with network adapters using |
| both copper and fibre cabling and the same driver, the network is not accessible. |
| (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server system specific) |
Explanation | Even though the configuration of network adapters in YaST2 seemed to be successful, the |
| network adapters are misconfigured. YaST2 apparently assigned a wrong ethX device to each |
| adapter. |
Workaround | 1. Use the command line tool ethtool to determine the ethX device of a particular network |
| adapter: |
| # ethtool eth0 |
| # ethtool eth1 |
| The following is an example of the ethtool output. Note the lines marked in bold. The last |
| line helps you determine if the adapter is connected to LAN. |
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full
Supports
Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full
Advertised
Speed: 100Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Port: Twisted Pair
PHYAD: 0
Transceiver: internal
Supports
Link detected: yes
2.Run YaST and reconfigure the adapters using the information you acquired from ethtool.
Description | During FSE client installation, the following error message is displayed, and the installation | |
| fails: |
|
| Setting HSM File System Filter module: |
|
| ERROR: FS Filter (hsmfs.ko) not available for kernel | |
| ... |
|
| Loading HSM FS Filter module: | [FAILED] |
Explanation | This message is displayed because the HSM file system filter module is only available for the | |
| Linux kernel revision 2.6 and FSE will not operate with older kernels. | |
Workaround | Before installing FSE product, upgrade the Linux host to a supported operating system version, | |
| which already includes the appropriate kernel revision. For a list of supported operating | |
| systems, see the latest support matrices. |
