Description

Observation

After starting arm-4/5 today (to investigate #109232) both workers were unable to get an IP address.

I couldn't find messages from them in /var/log/messages on qanet.qa.suse.de. I also couldn't ping it via arping:

openqaworker-arm-4:~ # arping -I eth0 -b 10.162.0.1
ARPING 10.162.0.1 from 10.0.2.2 eth0

There are no failed systemd units, including wicked. The network config looks like this:

openqaworker-arm-4:~ # ip addr

So eth0 is up. It looks exactly alike on arm-5.

That's the ip addr output on arm-5 (for the mac address):

I've asked for help from lmb@suse.de to help us to reconfigure the switches. Until we have proper network on them I will take the ticket for now.

Actions #8

Updated by nicksinger over 2 years ago

From "Flurfunk" I heard that lmb seems to be out of office currently. This is why I decided to move these machines into a different rack to a switch controlled by us, the new location is Rack 4 right next to our "QA Racks": https://racktables.suse.de/index.php?page=rack&rack_id=522. I've also added cable connections to https://racktables.suse.de/index.php?page=object&tab=ports&object_id=11969 (host OS ethernet uplink) and https://racktables.suse.de/index.php?page=object&tab=ports&object_id=996 (BMC connections). qanet20nue was reconfigured to provide the BMC with untagged VLAN12 to the BMCs and they both can be reached under their documented ip/hostname. openqaworker-arm-4 was able to receive an IP from qanet again and is now reachable normally via ssh. Unfortunately the fiber connection for arm-5 is broken. The switch reports "RX Loose" and no IP assignment is possible. This cable needs to be replaced again.

I switched the fiber cables. Now arm-5 is also reachable again:
