Symptoms

The 1GbE (mgmt-1/mgmt-2) interfaces do not show in the cluster configuration wizard when deploying PowerScale F600, F900, F210, or F710 nodes. When adding the nodes to an existing cluster, the mgmt-1 and mgmt-2 interfaces do not appear in the isi network interfaces output.

# isi network interfaces list
LNN  Name     Status     VLAN ID  Owners                  Owner Type  IP Addresses
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1    25gige-1 Up         -        -                       -           -
1    25gige-2 No Carrier -        -                       -           -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ifconfig output on the cluster shows bge0 and bge1 interfaces.
