Storage repositories not mounting after server restart(SUN FIRE X4270 M2 )

Milind-OracleNov 29 2011 — edited Jan 8 2012
Using SUN FIRE X4270 M2 and SUN FIRE X4170 servers for the virtualization.


Both of the servers running oracle vm 2.2.2 but with one exception .
The network on SUN FIRE X4270 M2 takes approximately 30-40 seconds to come into network after initial network initialization at boot. This leads to Oracle VM repositories not being initialized after restart.
More digging reveals that ovs-agent service not able to find NAS repository path due to unavailability of resources.

We have to manually initialize the repositories.


After analyzing the system commands i came to know that they two are running different Ethernet controllers

Please check the output of network command on both servers.

SUN FIRE X4170
Intel 82575EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller.
# lsmod | egrep 'pcnet32|vmxnet|e1000|igb'
e1000e 127249 0
igb 104197 0


SUN FIRE X4270 M2 (Server having network problem.)

# lsmod | egrep 'pcnet32|vmxnet|e1000|igb'
igb 104197 0


Found the latest network driver for the server but unable to install them as OS dev packages are missing.

Please Help resolve the issue.

Still wondering why SUN FIRE X4270 M2 is in comp-ability list of ORACLE VM 2.2.2.
