Got a new R610 and having strange network problems: slowness/latency.
I've installed the below for testing:
Centos 6.6
Centos 6.7
Also tested with: 2 different Cisco Switches and several ports (one 2950, one 3750)
Ran several tests with below command:
I tried various Centos mirrors via wget, very slow.
I know it's not my network at the data center or switch saturation. I'm thinking it might be a driver issue, but I have a few other R610 boxes too. One had a similar issue, a BIOS/Firmware update apparently fixed that. Not in this case though.
Here's another thing:
I want to update the following:
BIOS
DRAC
NIC Drivers
Dell's site to me is very confusing. I found this Dell OS Driver Pack but cannot figure out how to install it. I booted into F10 (Lifecycle Controller) and platform update. I see only 3 options: ftp, networkshare, cd/dvd/usb.
I would appreciate help on this. Even drac keeps kicking me off console, timing out.
Current Versions:
BIOS: 6.4.0
Firmware: 1.70 (Build 21)
DRAC Enterprise 6
