racadm - output discrepancy relating to NIC link status
On an R630 I am seeing something odd in the output of a racadm command to get the status of a link vs what the DRAC GUI and the OS are stating for the same NIC.
From the DRAC CLI
racadm get NIC.VndrConfigGroup.5 |egrep 'Key|LinkStatus|#MacAddr'
[Key=NIC.Slot.2-1-1#VndrConfigPage]
#LinkStatus=Disconnected
#MacAddr=A0:36:9F:7A:B7:D0
From the OS
ifconfig |grep -A 1 eth4
eth4 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr A0:36:9F:7A:B7:D0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1
And a screen shot from the DRAC GUI for Slot 2 PCI NIC card.
The port is up and serving traffic.
Any ideas why racadm shows it as disconnected?
Racadm shows all other NICs correctly as Connected on this card, another card and the NDC for this server.

Hi,
Does it still show disconnected if you reboot? Does disconnecting and re-connecting the cable help? What firmware version is it at?
