 Posted: Wed Sep 11, 2013 12:26 am Post subject: Transfer to new hardware |
 |
|
I've just had a server which suffered a hardware fault (wasn't wonderful hardware to start with, and developed some strange problems after a couple of power outages).
New hardware seemed like the best answer, so I moved the hard drives from the old hardware to an HP Proliant Microserver (dual core Turion, 2 GB RAM).
Had a bit of a problem after the transfer. Pretty well everything works, except the network. The HP has a Broadcom Netextreme BCM5723 gigabit NIC onboard. The correct kernel module was loaded (tg3), but ifconfig was only showing lo, no ethernet.
What have I missed? SMS has support for the card, but It certainly wasn't seeing a network at all. I'm at a bit of a loss with this one - usually transfering a hard drive from one machine to another works pretty straightforwardly with Linux, so I'm not sure what I missed to have the network fail that way.

Most likely your network is at eth1, what's the output of
Delete the udev rules of your old card or edit entry at
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Thanks. That was it...
It looks as though the driver was still listed incorrectly in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.
Deleting it and restarting has sorted it out. Running much better on the HP.
 I'll know where to look if I have to move to new hardware again.
