August 28, 20223 yr Hey there everybody, I'm really hoping someone can help me. I am pulling my hair out trying to fix it. Basically I bought a supermicro server as my first rackmount device ever, but it is causing no end of headaches. I have everything figured out minus network access. For whatever reason, the bios shows that both LAN ports are connected, but unRaid can't see any network activity. I have tried turning bonding and bridging on and off, I have tried deleting the network.cfg file and having unraid create a new one, I have tried creating a new boot usb, I have tried editing the network.cfg file to have a static ip and assigning the default gateway and all that. Through all of it, I can't get reliable network access. Some of this attempts have gotten me temporary network access, but it always goes away within like an hour or two. Can someone PLEASE help me? Motherboard: supermicro x9drh-7tf Onboard NIC: Intel X540-AT2 10gbe dual port hearnserver-diagnostics-20220828-1620.zip
August 28, 20223 yr Community Expert ethtool says no link detected. You may have to upgrade Unraid to get driver support. Unrelated, but RAID controllers are NOT recommended 01:00.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: Broadcom / LSI MegaRAID SAS 2208 [Thunderbolt] [1000:005b] (rev 05) Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc LSI MegaRAID ROMB [15d9:0690] Kernel driver in use: megaraid_sas Kernel modules: megaraid_sas
August 29, 20223 yr Author So update the USB, and if that doesn't work, get a pcie nic? Any recommendations in particular if I need to do that? It might be referring to the built in sas controller on the board, I'm using an lsi card flashed to it mode. Been using it for years
