Renetarderet Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Hi everyone. New unraider here. Ive recently setup my Supermicro server based on x10srh-cln4f Ive added a secondary intel quad nic to play with PFSense. However i keep getting the error that the intel quad nic is in use by unraid. I have 1 ethernet cable plugged in the ipmi port and 1 in the onboard network card. The ports are "shutdown" in the network options (new card) but it still in use, no matter what i do. Little help? tower-diagnostics-20210326-2247.zip Quote Link to comment

You have four NICs in a bond. eth0/br0 is the interface that unRAID will always use. Since you have eth0 eth1 eth2 and eth3 in a bond (looks like Active Backup mode) for use by unRAID, they can not be used in pfSense. # Generated settings: IFNAME[0]="br0" BONDNAME[0]="bond0" BONDING_MIIMON[0]="100" BRNAME[0]="br0" BRSTP[0]="no" BRFD[0]="0" BONDING_MODE[0]="1" BONDNICS[0]="eth0 eth1 eth2 eth3" BRNICS[0]="bond0" PROTOCOL[0]="ipv4" You need to go to Settings --> Network Settings and remove the NICs you do not want in the bond if any of them are on the quad NIC card. EDIT: If you need to identify which physical NIC has been assigned to eth0, eth1, eth2....etc. you can use this command: ethtool -p ethX (where X is replaced by the NIC #) This will cause the lights on the physical NIC to flash identifying it as ethX. If you want it to flash only for a certain amount of time put a number in seconds on the end of the command. ethtool -p eth2 10 will cause the NIC assigned to eth2 to flash for 10 seconds If you don't specify a time, it will flash until you do a CTRL-C from the terminal.

Renetarderet Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 Thank you for the reply. The onboard NICS consists of eth0-3 and is "member of bond0" The Extra intel card consists of eth4-7 and is "shutdown (inactive)" when i look into the settings. If i understand your comment, it shuld be the nic with eth0-3 that should be reserved. but it is actually the extra nic with eth 4-7. The onboard one is not reserved at all.. Quote Link to comment
Renetarderet Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) Disabling bonding/bridging seems to have solved the issue for me. Edited April 5, 2021 by Renetarderet Quote Link to comment
