Theldron Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hi all, hope you are well. I have a 2.5gb NIC card in my server taking a PCIe slot. I want to remove this to put a GPU in and just use the onboard NIC. Is there anything special I need to do in Unraid to make this smooth? Thanks Quote Link to comment

I would set everything to DHCP, then when you can get into the server you can easily configure the network settings back to what they were. The only thing I do is statically configure my NIC, that's it. Quote Link to comment

Theldron Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hi, so the insertion of the GPU didn't go to plan, so tried to put back in the 2.5 NIC and put everything back the way it was, but now when I start the array the 2.5 NIC turns off. No lights nothing. Even the onboard NIC wont work. Not sure where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment
Theldron Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 The NIC disables when I start the VM Manager. Is there a way to disable autostart VMs from somewhere in unraid without starting VM Manager? Quote Link to comment
Theldron Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Would restoring flash from backup do the trick? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Disable array auto start (settings - disk settings), you can then start the array and VMs won't auto-start, then check devices being passed though. Quote Link to comment
opentoe Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Have you tried turning it on via command line terminal? 'ip link set up eth0' or 'sudo ip link set up eth0'. If you happen to turn on the NIC, have some fun with these commands and their switches. ifconfig arp netstat IP address IP route nmap ss And there are plenty more. Some you may need to add. Don't forget the Nerd pack!!! Quote Link to comment
