Solution
Here is a step by step guide
1. Obtaining the UUID and verifying that the output are identical by entering the following commands:
#phgetUUID
#dmidecode | grep UUID
The output of those 2 commands should be identical. If the above two UUIDs do not match, it means there is a issue.
When system was licensed, both output 1 and output 2 were the same. However, AWS possibly changed something that caused #1 to be different or it may due to another cause.
If the output differs, call support in order to make sure that both matches. If the output matches, move to the next step.
2. Create a snapshot of the supervisor before performing the next step in order to recover.
3- Download the attached script: install_10gbps_driver.sh
3.1 Download and copy into the supervisor under: /opt/phoenix/phscripts/bin
3.2 Enter the following command:
#chmod +x /opt/phoenix/phscripts/bin/install_10gbps_driver.sh
3.3 Reboot the supervisor in order to verify that the interface driver install takes effect without losing theinterfaces.
