Pstark

Updated my isolation and now I'm getting an error from FCP.

Is it normal for Unraid to only use 1 thread? I isolated 2 cores for the host to use but I have never seen it use any more than 1 thread. I imagine it would make the UI snappier if it could utilize more.

Built my new server (below) with the intention of running pfSense as a VM. I got everything up and running with minimal issue. The first issue I noticed was I didn't have a br0 network for my dockers. To fix: 'rm /var/lib/docker/network/files/local-kv.db" then "/etc/rc.d/rc.docker restart" then created my docker network and everything seemed fine. But since doing this, things seem to not work as before the new build. For example I cant connect to photoprism webui. I spent most of yesterday trying to solve it to no avail. I restarted the server in the process and once again br0 is gone. Could pfSense be the cause of these issues? H12SSL-I EPYC 7302P 96GB EEC 3200MHz X520-DA1 (was being used but currently waiting for transceiver to arrive) X520-DA2 (pfSense) GPU LSI 16 port

Any update on this? Mine is pausing after 1-2 hours.

While I already have my new system up and running, I can confirm you are correct. I had to cut the slot and my HBA works in a x1 slot surprisingly.

UPDATE/SOLVED Received my new Supermicro H12SSL board and surprise…. Booted without issue (other then a faulty SATA power splitter). All those cores!!!

I just spoke with Supermicro tech support and according to them, with just the 24 pin motherboard connected (no CPU or RAM installed) I should get BMC heartbeat led and or IPMI led. Just confirms the board is dead…. Sad face I suspected this and already ordered a new (not used) board and upgraded to H12SSL for 7003 support if needed.

PSU was working when I pulled it from the old setup. I did the short the pins on the mb connector and it powered up fine. Can I short the those same pins to power up the PSU while it connected to the board? Will that damage anything?

Took the board out and zero activity from board. Shorted power pins briefly; no lights on board or IPMI no fan spin. Did a bios reset and still no luck.

I forgot to mention that I have a smart plug that measures power usage and it reads 1W while it should be booting.

will try this latter this evening.

Is it possible my power supply is the cause? I canceled my order for the CPU power splitter and contacted Supermicro support and they told me to try reseating the DIMMS and CPU. I already replaced the CMOS battery and reseated the DIMMS and CPU but I don't have a torque wrench specific for these CPU's. I'm trying to locate one to eliminate that being the cause. After work I will remove the CPU and inspect pins. Any further advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

I took out all pcie devices except m.2 drive and still nothing. I can hear a faint “humming” noise coming from the board also. I think the board is dead. I just hope it didn’t take out the CPU. I was hoping it was something simple.

Does that mean I should plug in pcie power into it from PSU?

Do these boards have the long post while it checks the memory?

I am trying to locate a CPU power cable splitter locally but I might have to order online.

Yes it’s rev 2

I’m building an Epyc 7302P Supermicro H11SSL-I motherboard and I’m not getting any activity at all. This is my first build with server grade hardware. I attach the large motherboard connector and the 8 pin at the top right. I connected the switch pins at the bottom. Installed the 7302P CPU, cooler and RAM (micron 3200mhz registered pc4 memory). No lights, fan spin or anything. Is the 4 pin (red circle ⭕️ in photo) required? Am I missing anything?

I added up how many PCIE lanes I need to have: graphics: 16 LSI: 8 NIC: 8 2 X m.2: 4 +4=8 40 lanes total

Does anyone have any experience or know someone that does buying used stuff from china?

The equivalent Intel chips seem to be considerably more expensive. Can you explain more on you comment on IOMMU groups?

After looking around, I found an Epyc 7551P with moobo and 128 GB memory. https://www.ebay.com/itm/373805842942?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=OxLNCOGvR0q&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=mpc-ah6esuu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Is the link and I wanted to know your guys thoughts on it? Advice?

Currently I have a Prime Z590-V mobo and 10700k, 64gb non-ECC memory. PCIE: intel 10gb nic, LSI card, 2x 1TB NVME SSD’s Usage: light to moderate VM usage with ~20 dockers running constantly and fairly heavy NAS usage Currently I have to choose between using a graphics card (3060) or the NIC. I want to be able to run the graphics card and NIC but I’m limited on PCIE lanes. I’m currently researching what my options are for accomplishing this. I’m thinking to use ECC memory for increased SMB performance. I’m unsure on what CPU will have the PCIE lanes along with what mobo to use? Not looking to buy new and prefer something used but still decently modern.
