Hello Gents,
I have recently purchased this Quad NVME card and I'm trying to set it all up with Unraid
The spec:
X10DRG-Q MB
8*16GB DDR4 2666 (running at 2133)
LSI 9211-4i
1*6TB HGST SAS
2*2TB Samsung SAS
3*1TB Seagate SATA onboard
1*480G Intel SSD (cache)
1*WD BLUE NVME 500G
3*760P Intel NVME
Asus Hyper x16
Corsair RM1000X PSU
RTX 2080
Creative sound blaster Z
I've enabled bifurcation from x16 => x4x4x4x4
The problem:
The system is booting up properly, I'm able to see 4 nvme drives in Unraid, happy days. I'm starting my array and then the whole server hangs. After this I'm restarting and the server hangs during the boot sequence inside the BIOS.
What I've tried:
3.1 and 3.1C bios
3xNVMES
I/O non posted prefetch enabled
Disabling as many devices as possible from the BIOS
Setting the Asus card PCIE port for UEFI
Booting unraid in Legacy/UEFI
Moving the card to a different slot
What worked partially but hinders me from seeing all 4 drives:
Not enabling bifurcation allows me to see 1 NVME drive but the system is stable.
IPMI is reporting the following error whenever the hang occurs:
#0x00 ProcessorConfiguration Error (DMI) - Assertion
The system has always been stable, no crashes or freezes.
I don't think I'm running out of PCI lanes, i thought about this possibility.
At the same time writing this I'm writing an email to supermicro.
I hope to pick your brains and see what are your suggestions.
Thank you for taking the time to go through this post.
