nic down after upgrading dell r640 to gaia r81

we have 2x r640 dell with x710 intel NIC on a cluster xl r80.30

we upgraded the standby member to r81 successfully

we then upgrade the other member to r81 but the after the upgrade it did not answer anymore to any interface... on the switch all the interfaces are down.

we checked also with the bus information as for sk86121 and the .rules file seems correct even if it's different then on r80.30 and from the other r81 gateway.

both gateway are exactly the same in terms of hardware and firmware revision

any suggestions?

thanks

Are you using the same SFP transcievers or DAC cable at both sites?

Thanks for clarifying, if it were limited to the X710 interfaces then I would say sk163267 might have been applicable.

Other customers have had success with the following on the Cisco side in similar cases but likely not here (given your prior involvment in the threads below).

#no lldp transmit
#no lldp receive

For information specific LLDP configuration is possible as of R81 and higher per:

problem solved.

I simply overwrite the existing /etc/ude/rules.d/00-OS-XX.rules that was different then before the upgrade with old one and the interfaces are now back online.

anyway thank you for your support
