Intel 10G NICs don't come up: Could not setup receive structures.
-
Hi Guys,
We recently upgraded to the 24/11/2014 snapshot, and suddenly someone of our Intel 10G NICs can't start and report:
ix2: Could not setup receive structures
ix3: Cloud not setup receive structures.I upgraded this to the 01/12/2014 snapshot but the results are the same.
The primary node in this cluster is built on the 18/11/2014 snapshot and is working fine. Any ideas what could be causing this, and does anyone know where I can download the 18/11/2014 snapshot so I can rule out a hardware issue?
Cheers,
EHUK. -
Not enough mbufs.

My MBUF usage for the broken box is 6% (7600/131072).
I added the following to /etc/sysctl.conf
kern.ipc.nmbclusters=262144
kern.ipc.nmbjumbop=262144
kern.ipc.nmbjumbo16=32000
kern.ipc.nmbjumbo9=64000This seems to have bought up everything but ix1, when I try and bring it up:
[zone: mbuf_jumbo_9k] kern.ipc.nmbjumbo9 limit reached
fw02 kernel: ix1: Could not setup receive structuresix0, ix2 and ix3 are now up.
I will continue to tweak and let you know my results.

After much tweaking, I still can't get the two WAN NICs up and running. What is strange is that the primary node is running fine on the older build.
cmb, any chance I can grab the 18/11/2014 snapshot?

You should probably limit the queues of ix1 to less or tune the nmblusters more up as required.
