Q-Logic OFED, IB0056101-00 G.02 manual Eth2 error fetching interface information Device not found

Installation Troubleshooting Configuration Issues

S

When ifconfig or ifup are run, the error will look similar to this (assuming ipath_ether was used for eth2):

eth2: error fetching interface information: Device not found

To prevent the error message, remove the following files (assuming ipath_ether was used for eth2):

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2 (for RHEL) /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-eth2 (for SLES)

QLogic recommends using the IP over InfiniBand protocol (IPoIB-CM), included in the standard OpenFabrics software releases, as a replacement for ipath_ether.
