 The card is a Supermicro AOC-STGN-I2S with Intel 82599 chip. According to the StarlingX docs, this Intel chip is supported. After installing the initial USB iso, the interfaces are showing as no carrier. I have tested this card in a Windows 10 PC with these cables to these switch ports and they work and obtain DHCP addresses. Here is the statuses after running the controller script.

According to the NIC card manual:To install the driver to a Linux system do the following:     Build a Binary RPM Package         1. Run ‘rpmbuild -tb <filename.tar.gz>’         2. Replace with the specific filename of the driver
Thanks again for the advice.

The Intel driver instructions needs rpmbuild (per link in first post). I am not able to get "sudo yum install rpm-build" to work. It is going to an "http://container:8080/......" url. However, dns is not resolving for container. So I ran the container creation script using the IP of the 1G NIC. Running the install for rpm-build now says I don't have permissions. Note, ping to google.com resolves and works fine.
First question is, do we configure the physical NICs before we run container scripts or after? If after, then how do I get permissions to install rpm-build? If before, how do I get the repo to point to Centos (I tried this too with no luck).
Note, I am running the simplex all-in-one bare metal install. I need to test the NIC in one server before I buy all the other cards and cables.
Thanks for the advice...Scott

Okay even more confused, did you try to even install stx on bare metal with these cards? I also have Intel based cards and they work fine with the default bootimage.iso ... so What card do you have ?

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know someone who can install StarlingX with OpenStack/K8m remotely at a fair price? I have tried multiple times but not getting anywhere. Stuck on figuring out how to install the NIC drivers and set up the VLANs correctly.


its really pretty straight forward to install, not sure what you mean by "install the NIC drivers", unless they are "unsupported" cards, then its alot of work for building a custom image.so what cards are they that require "installing NIC drivers" ? or are you guessing really ?

Servers:- 2 controllers- 2 Rook/Ceph storage- 8 hosts/workers- Dell PowerEdge C6100 X5650 dual Xeon hex-cores 
Networking:- Dual 10GbE NICs in each server- Dual 1GbE NICs in each server- Dual Dell S6010 switches running FTOS 9.x
I am a one man band so not a lot of funds, but getting someone to show me the ropes would be worth it. 
Regards,
Scott
