Arubial Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Greetings, I have a Dell PowerEdge T320 with 2 Broadcom NICs, and I am not able to get any network activity after installing 6.10.2. The server boots fine and shows me the IP address, but I am not able to ping the server or out from it. I have read the announcement thread with the workaround to disable VT-D, but that didn't help. I disabled virtualization entirely and I still have the same issue. My server also has a 4 port Intel NIC that I was using to test pfSense, but I'm not doing that anymore. I moved the network cable to the Intel NIC and booted the server up. I confirmed the NIC had a link light during the boot-up sequence, but the LED turned off sometime during the Unraid boot. I can't even get the sever to boot up in GUI mode unless I do safe mode. But I still can't get any network activity with either the old NIC or the new one. I want to rollback the update, but when I downloaded my most recent backup using the "My Servers" section of the forum, it appeared to be the 6.10.2 version, not 6.10.1. What can I do?

JorgeB Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 You can do this to unblacklist the NICs: https://forums.unraid.net/bug-reports/stable-releases/after-i-upgraded-to-6102-my-network-interfaces-dissappeared-r1956/?do=findComment&comment=19584 Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted May 31, 2022 Solution Share Posted May 31, 2022 Didn't read the entire post, if you're getting an IP that's not the problem, please post the diagnostics. Quote Link to comment
Arubial Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Thanks, I tried the tg3.conf file anyway and rebooted. The Intel NIC is still turning off during the Unraid boot-up sequence for some reason. It's my understanding those NICs aren't effected by the tg3 driver issue, correct? Quote Link to comment

Arubial Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 I got it to boot correctly this time (it's using the Broadcom NIC). Diagnostics attached. jarvis-diagnostics-20220531-1008.zip Quote Link to comment
Arubial Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Also it looks like I was somehow able to get the rollback to work, but I don't know how. When I first tried it, it was still showing 6.10.2 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 It's working because you're back to v6.10.1, to upgrade to v6.10.2 you need to unblacklist the NIC, like linked above. Quote Link to comment
Arubial Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Can I put the tg3.conf file in place and then upgrade to 6.10.2 or does it need to be done after the upgrade? I'm still confused why the Intel NIC stops working during the Unraid boot sequence. It's like the OS is disabling it. Quote Link to comment

Arubial Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Thank you, I was able to get it upgrade to 6.10.2 after creating tg3.conf 1 Quote Link to comment
Hastor Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) Sorry to necro a thread, but I'm still on 6.9.2 - I'm only using it as a SMB file server so it is still suiting me fine, but I do like to stay up to date. Does anyone know if extra steps are still necessary in the current version (6.11.1)? Was this ever fixed? I did attempt to update to 6.10.2 when it was new and got the message that it couldn't find ETH0 (I believe that was it), as described here and just restored my backup, figuring it would eventually be addressed.
