Emulex OneConnect 10Gb NIC support?

[Danilo Godec]

Hello,

I have a server with Emulex Corporation OneConnect 10Gb NIC (be3) NIC -
this driver is available in kernel (at least on my desktop OpenSuSE) as
/lib/modules/3.0.101-91-default/kernel/drivers/net/benet/be2net.ko .

How would I go about adding support for this NIC?


Thanks,

Danilo

Hi,

I actually assumed this one was already enabled, but its not: CONFIG_BE2NET

This should compliment the Emulex OCS SDK SCST target driver (an ESOS build option) which would then provide network/Ethernet connectivity parallel to iSCSI/FCoE on the ESOS target side.

I've enabled the driver on my machine and will have this committed later today; for future reference, to enable an additional kernel driver for ESOS you'd follow the wiki page for building from source, and you'd simply edit the 'misc/linux-3.14.19.config' kernel configuration file before building.

Thanks,

found it. I also enabled some VirtIO drivers, as I'd like to prepare a 'demo' where ESOS and it's 'clients' will be virtualised on KVM...

I followed https://code.google.com/p/enterprise-storage-os/wiki/11_Building to the 't', but building fails with:

Since this is already past kernel I don't think it has anything to do with my config changes.

Build host is a 64-bit OpenSuSE 11.4 (Evergreen).

Any ideas?

Please try the attached patch. Update to the latest (r729) too. After applying the patch, you'll need to run ./configure again.

Thanks, tried it and now it gets past that and into the next problem:

Maybe I should try with a clean install and a different distribution...

[Marc Smith]

I'd need to see the config.log file from the /home/danci/ESOS/esos/work/build/curl-7.29.0 directory.

I develop on Fedora/CentOS and the Buildbot runs on CentOS, so using a RHEL-based distribution is probably your best bet.

If I get some free time this evening, I'll fire up a SUSE instance and see what is needed.


--Marc

[Danilo Godec]

The mentioned config.log is attached, but I guess I'll install a CentOS 6.6 (or would 7 be better?) tomorrow.

   Danilo

[Marc Smith]

Either should be fine, but I believe the Buildbot runs on 6.x. I've started playing the SUSE EC2 instance and already noticed an issue with glibc and GNU make 4.x... I'll update when I run through all of it.

Today I installed a fresh CentOS 6.6 (minimum install) and build was successful - I now have an image with VIRTIO support for my 'demo' system.

Thank you very much.

[Marc Smith]

Good deal. I am curious about "VIRTIO" -- is that this: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtio

Are you going to be using ESOS for a VSA? I've had a request for adding open-vm-tools to ESOS which is for VMware. If there is a market for this application, I'd consider adding those into ESOS.

Thanks,

Marc

[Danilo Godec]

Yes, that's VIRTIO I'm talking about...


You could say we'll use ESOS as a VSA - though in this instance it's a 'demo' system (a HP SL6500 chassis with 6 independent servers), so we'll be able to showcase OpenStack, KVM, ESOS and other OpenSource technologies.

I've committed several build fixes for SUSE (r732) and I also updated the wiki page for build requirements on this platform. Tested on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12.
