Re: Servers not booting after enabling teaming

Thank you Robert,
I've checked for new drivers and a new version of BASP application
(Broadcom's network management program).
First of all, i had to disable all the virtual nics teaming drivers, in
order to delete teaming and make the system boot again.
Then I updated the drivers and basp to the latest version.
Finally, I installed MS patch 912222 (Scalable Networking Pack release)
suggested by Dell, necessay for TOE functionality, as far as I understand.
After that I'm facing the following behaviour: most of the time the server
starts correctly (with teaming enabled and working), sometimes it doesn't
boot at all (the same behaviour like before, i.e. the system hangs at Windows
Logo).
Any further hints would be more apprecited
Regards
Gabriele

One of our customers is setting up 3 new Windows 2003 Servers.
The installation was fine, but after enabling teaming on the onboard nics,
all 3 servers stopped responding at boot-time. Now the only boot in Safe
mode
(without networking), and Last Know Good Configuration does not fix the
problem.
Two of the servers are Dell PowerEdge 2950, the third is Dell too but I
don’t know the model. NICs are Broadcom and are embedded in the
motherboard.
1) What drivers/services do I have to disable to prevent teaming to load
and
succesfully boot in normal mode?
2) Is there some known issue with teaming and/or Broadcom nics, Windows
server, some bugfix I’m not aware, etc.?
Maybe I have not given sufficient informations, but that’s all I got for
the
moment (tomorrow I ‘ll be able to contact my customer in order to have
further details), in the meantime I’ll be glad if someone could give some
hints nonetheless.
Thanks for your attention
