Friction9045 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Hi, I recently got some hp servers for free, and thought I'd use them for an unraid server. I used the unraid flasher to put it on a usb and plugged it into the internal usb port on my server. After it's done starting up, it says "IPv4 Address: Not Set IPv6 Address: Not Set". I'm unable to access the unraid server by any means, I've tried using http://proliant-2 (i set the name in the flash utility) and it won't connect. I'm using an emulex 10GB network card to connect to a tp link switch, which connects to another switch, and then to my modem/router combo. My other devices don't have issues with dhcp when connected in this system. I've attached a diagnostics file to help. Thanks.proliant-2-diagnostics-20220913-1524.zip Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 ethtool says no link detected, but driver is loaded. Check cable, port, plug on server, switches, router, try other ports RAID controllers are NOT recommended. Have you flashed it to IT mode (HBA)? Quote Link to comment
Friction9045 Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 Ill try some different configs. The only thing I changed when flashing the boot media was the name. The RAID controller in my server acts as a PCIE sata card when the raid isn't set up (as far as i know). Quote Link to comment
Friction9045 Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 I switched the ethernet connection from the emulex card to the onboard ethernet, and it gives me an ip that I can connect to. I'd really prefer if I could get the emulex card to work because the ports integrated on my server are only 1gbps. Quote Link to comment

Friction9045 Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 Is there something I'm missing? Because I don't understand. Quote Link to comment
Friction9045 Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 i've tried every possible combination of ports with the 10gb card, and none of them give me an ip address. Quote Link to comment
Friction9045 Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 I think i've changed every variable I can, I've changed pci slots, changed network cards, turned of bond, set the ip manually, used a different usb port etc. Nothing has worked. Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted September 14, 2022 Solution Share Posted September 14, 2022 Sep 13 15:24:39 Proliant-2 kernel: be2net 0000:0d:00.0 eth4: Link is Down Sep 13 15:24:39 Proliant-2 kernel: be2net 0000:0d:00.1 eth5: Link is Up Log does show link up on one of the ports, note that you should set it as eth0 (Settings -> Network Settings -> Interface Rules then reboot) if you want to use that NIC as the main one to manage Unraid.

JorgeB Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Yes, try that, post new diags if it doesn't work after changing eth5 to eth0 Quote Link to comment
