Hello Aldranod,

Are you using the LifeCycle Controller OS Deployment method?

Try changing the OS Driver pack and see if OS Deploy works

Looks like the latest OS driver pack removed RHEL 7.9.

OS driver pack. Version22.07.10, :  https://dell.to/3UrvAqq

Expand Enhancements:

Read More:

- RHEL 8.6 OS replaces RHEL 8.4 OS

- RHEL 9.0 OS replaces RHEL 7.9 OS

- Added support for WIN-2022 OS

Try using the previous version of the OS driver pack:

Version 21.10.02  supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.9 x86_64

Click "View other downloadable formats"

Use the Update Package for MS Windows 64-Bit in the iDRAC Updates page to apply the driver pack.

I'm not using installation via Lifecycle Controller OS deploy. Instead I'm mounting iso via remote file share using API call. This is part of automated deployment process that my company developed. Anyway Dell OS Driver Package used on our Gen15 servers is 21.10.02

Hello, in case you are having a problem installing Lifecycle controller, may I recommend downloading from here instead:

Have you been able to get CentOS 7.9 to recognize E810 from remote mount?  What is the procedure? (We use TFTP which is effectively the same.)

Issue

• Which Intel E810 and E820 "ice" network devices are supported?

Resolution

Check your device ID using the command:

Raw

lspci -nn | egrep Ethernet

The device ID is the last part of the PCI ID [8086:xxxx].

The following example output shows the device ID is 159b:

Raw

Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller E810-XXV for SFP [8086:159b] (rev 02)

RHEL 7

The ice driver in RHEL 7 is provided as an unsupported Tech Preview from RHEL 7.7 (kernel-3.10.0-1062.el7) onwards and supports the following device IDs:

Raw

/* Intel(R) Ethernet Controller E810-C for backplane */

#define ICE_DEV_ID_E810C_BACKPLANE  0x1591

/* Intel(R) Ethernet Controller E810-C for QSFP */

#define ICE_DEV_ID_E810C_QSFP       0x1592

/* Intel(R) Ethernet Controller E810-C for SFP */

#define ICE_DEV_ID_E810C_SFP        0x1593

Diagnostic Steps

Check drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_devids.h in kernel source

Thanks for the reference!  So, the OP is about E810-XXV, the same as mine. (iDRAC inventory says something like E810-XXV OCP.)  Your previous comments mentioned two alternatives,

1. Downgrade Lifecycle Controller. (In my case, downgrade failed because iDRAC could not verify signature of the package I downloaded from the link in the comment.  Besides, we use TFTP/PXE and not LC.)
2. Download Intel's open source driver for older Linux.  I am in the process of getting this to work, and curious if there is already a established path. (As this latest comment indicates, E810XXV is not supported by RHEL 7.9 CD.  Therefore there has to be a second medium containing Intel's new driver that the installer needs to be aware of.)

Hello yes at this point it's best we hear from other community users rather than someone like me within Dell.  You may need to get the driver from Intel and compile. (but again this is just m personal and unverified thought https://dell.to/3JhtW8c )

Hi,

Has anyone officially figured out the Fix with this for the E810 NIC with RHEL 7.9?  Is it the Intel Adapter Driver that needs to be at a different version?  I am seeing the same issue here on PowerEdge R650.

Thanks!

I have a 660xs running linux Centos 7.9 with the following:
99:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller E810-XXV for SFP [8086:159b] (rev 02)
99:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller E810-XXV for SFP [8086:159b] (rev 02)

I am not able to get the kernel to recognize this.

I am using driver
