Rockstor and ethernet adapter

Troubleshooting
1

I installed a 10Gbe adapter in my DL380, but Rockstor won’t load it. It shows as “ens2” under nmcli. But here’s what I get:

#nmcli connection show

#nmcli device connect ens2
Error: Failed to add/activate new connection: Connection ‘ens2’ is not available on the device ens2 at this time.

ens2 is my new 10Gbe adapter. How would I go about getting a connection on it? I’m not getting a link between the adapter and the switch, but I figure that’s because the host won’t bring up the interface.

Thanks for any help or insight you can provide.

What 10Gbe adaptor did you buy? Can you post the contents of lspci -v?

It’s a Mellanox, but as it turns out, it isn’t working because my co-worker put the wrong transceiver in the switch, and so the card is just sitting. Rockstor now recogizes that it’s there, but it is not active.
