After ESX upgrade, Interfaces uninitialized (10.2.1.297)

that's a known bug, sadly. You can remove the media and duplex settings from /config/bigip_base.conf

 

 

 

e.g. remove these from the interface statements:

 

media-fixed 10000T-FD

 

 

and then reload the config (bigstart restart, etc.)

 

 

 

there is more detail on these steps covered in the BIG-IP Virtual Edition manuals

 

 

Done that... Still MACs shows 0:0:0:0:0:0 Any ideas?

 

Additioanlly, another interface just came from no where... I had 1.1 and 1.2 and now I have 1.3 as well... O_O

 

 

appreciate your help!

 

Does the 1.3 interface have a mac address other than zeros?

 

Nope. Zero's as well... it also set to 100 (Media Speed)...

 

Seems to me like it is the MGMT interface...

 

 

What do you think?

But then again, when i run ifconfig i see eth0:mgmt and it has a MAC...

 

 

Any ideas?

10.2.2-hf2 has the first VMXNET3 code that will function on ESXi 5.x, but 10.2.4 is probably your best bet if you must stay 10.2.x.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many thanks qe, one last question...

 

Do I have to upgrade my license for upgrading 10.2.1 to 10.2.x?

In general, no

 

 

All,

 

 

Many thanks for your AWESOME support.

 

I've upgraded to 10.2.4.577 and everything started working again.

 

 

THANKS!
