OVH network queues

FACEburger

I took the OVH E3-1245 v5 server, everything is fine under ubuntu 19, 2 rx + 2 tx queues, but I installed Promox VE 5 from the OVH panel and for some reason only one interrupt, reinstalled igb, but nothing changed, what should I do? I210 Card

You can manually distribute the queues. Script for that is in the Intel driver package.

Maybe an older kernel, try Proxmox 6.

Shouldn't matter much anyway, this is only 1 Gbit, not 10.

You could try manually setting the number of queues via a modprobe setting.

That doesn't help if the NIC exposes only a single queue.

Rebuild igb again with additional settings?

For starters, I would try checking the maximums and current settings with ethtool. Example from my system:

# ethtool -l ens2f0
Channel parameters for ens2f0:
Pre-set maximums:
RX:     32
TX:     32
Other:      1
Combined:   32
Current hardware settings:
RX:     0
TX:     0
Other:      1
Combined:   8

Depending on the driver, the number of queues can be adjusted by supplying an argument to modprobe. Otherwise ethtool -L could work.

ethtool -L eno1 combined 4

You will loose connectivity during this as the NIC will restart.

It seems to have happened, thanks, but the network card has 2 rx and 2 tx, in the description, it will not interfere with its operation?
