Add support Intel X710 CNA in MOS

[Michael Semenov]

Requested by customer in https://mirantis.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/5947. For current MOS verison, customer was satisfied with the custom ISO, but we need to implement it in MOS 7.0

[Scott Yoder (syoder)]

Where can I get this custom ISO?

[Scott Yoder (syoder)]

Never mind I made a custom 6.0 ISO with a custom dkms package using the latest Intel driver. It seems to be working fine with the CentOS bootstrap and Ubuntu images.

I had tons of problems with 6.1. The stock driver in the Centos LT kernel and Ubuntu 14.04 are not stable at all - transmit hung and resets constantly. Even with the latest Intel driver there are too many other issues right now with 6.1 to use it.

[Albert Syriy (asyriy)]

Hello Scott
I have built the custom ISO 6.0.1 with i40e driver in bootstrap kernel for support Intel XL710 card.

Here the link
http://jenkins-product.srt.mirantis.net:8080/view/custom_iso/job/custom_6.0_iso/53/

and another link, if you don't have an access to the first one:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7f3jbsRP_S0eG96RG5GQmp4ckE/view?usp=sharing

I would really appreciate if you helping with testing the ISO. Please try to deploy it.
The driver is going to be released soon.

Looking for your reply

[Albert Syriy (asyriy)]

I have built the ISO with the driver for bootstrap and Ubuntu dkms module.
Could anybody (having such equipment) check it?

[Mike Nguyen (moozoo)]

I'm not quite sure if I might have missed something, but has this fix been implemented for the CentOS bootstrap for 7.0? The card does not seem to be visible from the booted bootstrap system. The driver simply does not seem to be present.

I see mentions of fixes for 6.1, but none for 7.0.

Trying the ubuntu bootstrap as an alternative seems to work and the card is visible in Fuel, but as I have another unrelated bug to this, using the ubuntu bootstrap does not seem to be a valid option...

[Albert Syriy (asyriy)]

Hello Mike, it's not your fault.
The driver has not been included into the bootstrap.
The Ubuntu bootstrap is only option now.

[Dmytro Fomenko (daks12)]

Hit the same bug. Fuel 7.0, mu1, network card X710. Driver i40e is absent in bootstrap image (/var/www/nailgun/bootstrap/initramfs.img) so it is unable to configure network, bonding and so on in Fuel menu when node booted in bootstrap mode. Have to repackage initramfs.img manually.
