Hi,
I have three machines in my studio...
Machine 1 - Unraid server - Dual port Mellanox 10GBe SFP card
Machine 2 - Windows 10 Video Edit workstation - Dual port Mellanox 10GBe SFP card
Machine 3 - Windows 10 Video Edit Workstation - Dual port Mellanox 10GBe SFP card
Machines 1 and 2 are successfully linked, peer to peer via fiber. I have a projects drive mapped and performance is excellent.
Can I now create a peer to peer connection on the remaining free ports to Machine 1 & 3 and subsequently Machines 2 & 3?
I have repeated my steps to map the projects share on the unraid to the new workstation (machine 3) but windows just times out searching for the drive. IP addresses are as follows (2nd number is 2nd port)....
Machine 1 - 10.10.20.2 / 10.10.20.3
Machine 2 - 10.10.20.4 / 10.10.20.5
Machine 2 - 10.10.20.6 / 10.10.20.7
As far as I can tell all settings are correct. Can I not set up a 2nd peer to peer connection if I have dual port cards?
Any help would be massively appreciated. I am far from a networking expert but what I want to do seems quite logically possible in my head!
