A customer purchased a batch of Dell R740 servers and installed the RHEL7.4 operating system. After finishing the network card binding, it was found that the network card could not be restarted (an error would be reported when the network card was restarted). The network card model was QLogic FastLinQ 41264, and it was installed Everything is normal after RHEL 7.7 operating system. Next, let's see how to deal with it.
Find the warranty and contract on the Dell website, and enter the server’s service tag or express service code
Select driver and download, select operating system, category, etc.
Find the driver package you want, confirm pairing with the network card model, download
Save the driver file in ISO format via UltraISO
Packaged software
Driver package QLogic_Linux_Source_35.15.00.08.tar.gz
Successfully packaged package
Then mount the virtual drive through DELL's iDrac
Mount the CD
Use the TAR file to install the Linux driver:
1. Create a directory and extract the TAR file to that directory:
tar zjvf fastlinq-<version>.tar.gz
Switch to the recently created directory, and install the driver:
cd fastlinq-<version>
make clean; make install
The qed and qede drivers will be installed in the following path.
Check whether the driver installation is complete:
/lib/modules/<version>/extra/qlgc-fastlinq
Load the driver for testing (if necessary, unload the existing driver first)
rmmod qede
rmmod being
modprobe being
modprobe qed
Configuration and testing
ifconfig can only see the activated network card
ipaddr can see all network cards
ifconfig em1 up activate the network card
