Unraid GUI / Docker / VM responsiveness issues after migrating to Dell R730
Hi, I recently migrated my Unraid server from a Ryzen desktop system to a Dell PowerEdge R730, and since then the system feels noticeably less responsive overall. SymptomsUnraid web GUI feels sluggish/intermittently laggy Browser often shows: “Waiting for 10.10.0.250” WordPress Docker container feels slow/sluggish VM creation in Unraid GUI feels slow Windows 11 VM GUI sometimes stutters/hitches Overall responsiveness feels inconsistent compared to previous hardware HardwareServerDell PowerEdge R730 CPUs2x Intel Xeon E5-2630L v4 20 cores / 40 threads total RAM128 GB RAM Cache / VM StorageSamsung 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD Connected at PCIe Gen3 x4 Used for cache pool + VM storage Array4x 2.7TB HDDs NICsIntegrated: Broadcom BCM5720 Gigabit NICs Additional: Intel 82599ES 10GbE NIC not in use at the moment Current Unraid VersionLinux 6.18.29-Unraid Current FindingsCPU GovernorThe system was initially running with: schedutil I manually switched all CPUs to: performance using: for cpu in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor; do echo performance > $cpu; done This slightly improved responsiveness. Dell BIOS Power ProfileCurrent BIOS profile: Performance Per Watt (OS) Storage PerformanceVMs are running on the Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD, so storage should not be the bottleneck. Localhost curl response appears fast: curl -o /dev/null -s -w '%{time_connect} %{time_starttransfer} %{time_total}\n' http://localhost Result: 0.000425 0.043714 0.043811 Network / NIC DetailsManagement interface currently uses a Broadcom BCM5720 NIC with the tg3 driver. ethtool -i eth0: driver: tg3 firmware-version: FFV22.00.6 bc 5720-v1.39 ethtool -c eth0: rx-usecs: 20 tx-usecs: 72 I suspect the Broadcom tg3 NIC / interrupt moderation / latency may be contributing to the sluggishness.

Could tg3 interrupt moderation affect Unraid GUI responsiveness? Would moving management/network traffic to the Intel 82599ES NIC likely help? Are there recommended BIOS settings for Dell enterprise hardware running Unraid? Any recommended tweaks for improving UI/network responsiveness on dual Xeon systems?

In the arr containers and in the qBitt one I have set the network type to none and at Extra Parameters to --network=container:GluetunVPN. But now I run into the issue that I am unable to access the web gui's when I click on the web gui tab in the container overview (they do not open) Any idea's on what could be wrong please let me know. Note: I am a noob when it comes to networking and setting things up, please keep that in mind

IPv4 and IPv6 Address Not Set (can't acces the web gui)
Hello everyone I just started my trail on unraid, the day after (today) I started like normal and it all worked fine untill it foze, and then I disconected from the web gui. I tried to scan the network for the ip with the server on, I had no sucsess so I attatched a monitor to it to see what was going on (I had set up an static ip). I booted up the server with the monitor connected to it and I saw when it had booted up that there was no ipv4 and ipv6 address set. Is this the issue? Does anyone know how to help me? fat-phoque-diagnostics-20240504-1453.zip syslog
