I've been using my Unraid machine predominantly as a Plex server for the past year and a half with no issues. Today I decided to add another drive to my array, and upon rebooting, my server would no longer connect to the network. It was working just fine right before I shut it down to add the new drive and stopped working as soon as I rebooted. My router cannot see my server, and I can't ping it from another computer. I checked it's ethernet cable with another computer and it works just fine. I connected a monitor to view the console and it says the the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are not set, which is something I'm not sure I've ever seen before.

 

The only thing I did while the server was shut off was plug in a new drive, I'm not sure how that would cause any of the networking behavior to change. I'm no networking or linux expert, so perhaps this is an easy fix and the solution is beyond my knowledge. I attached the diagnostics log from my most recent boot up attempt, any help would be greatly appreciated!

That is only syslog.

Whoops, got my files mixed up, here's the full diagnostics

I feel like a total fool, I seem to have solved the issue by switching the ethernet cable to a different lan port on my server. Upon reboot the server went online no problem. I'd had it connected via the IPMI enabled port all along, and I didn't switch the port in the process of adding a drive, so I'm not sure why that port would all of the sudden start causing issues, but switching to a normal gigabit lan port solved it.
