@dafyre said in NIC issue windows 7:

In the Network Adapter options, disable anything that says power managment.

There's a couple of power management options on the NIC, but IIRC there's some bus-related power management options in the power-profiles. I've seen the NIC-related options take an interface off-line, but where you're saying that it's disappearing completely, I'd be more inclined to look at PCI or chipset drivers and settings.

@dafyre said in Ethernet link going down and then up after 3 seconds.:

log in to the switch.... and then

sho log -r

That will show you the most recent entries in the log. Look for anything related to STP.

I think it is:

Without the 'show'. The -w switch helps filtering out less relevant stuff.

@emad-r said in Linux NiC Bond Question:

Hi,

after you create linux nic bonding, do you disable the original nic adapters, so only the bond network adapter gets IP and has priority.

Cause the only way I saw activity of my nm-bond interface was when I disabled the ens33 and ens34 from getting an IP, so only the bond has it.

Or you keep all interfaces as is with the machine having 3 IPs, how then it will determine to use the bond IP and not others?

I used rr or round robin

I use only use the virtual NICs as well on Debian as well.

@dafyre said in Installing Scale Tools on Windows Server Core from Command Line:

I'm unfamiliar with the Server Core setup... but can't you install these drivers as part of the Windows installation process?

Storage yes, but I'm unaware of a simple way during a stock install to include other drivers. The storage ones are requested, and necessary, during the install. Otherwise the installation location does not show up (unless you don't use VirtIO block devices.) You can definitely add the tools into an image, and there is probably a way to include Ethernet devices ahead of time, but I'm not used to the installation process to know where it happens.

I just select all 3 of the INF files and go... It's always installed everything for me, lol... Just point it at the folder for the right OS and 32 or 64 bit... (Note: This is the way I did it in Scale v4.3... I've not had a chance to use their newer stuff yet.

At what stage are you selecting them?

During the install process... the same place where you go when you're picking the storage drivers.

I rarely do modifications at that stage. Still, handy to have a simple option because a lot of people will get the install done and find that there is no networking and need to know what to do at that point. 🙂
