Replaced Motherboard/CPU but now cannot access shares from any PC?

Featured Replies

Hi

I have just replaced my AMD 2950X for an i5 13600k and everything seemed to go swimmingly except I have just discovered I cannot access my shares from any device.

There is only 1 NIC (Mellanox 10gbe) that I transferred to the new board and the onboard NICS are disabled.

WEBUI is working fine as is access to all dockers but I cannot access any shares.

 

Any starting points?

Get the diagnostics file and upload it in a NEW post in this thread.

Done, thank you 🙂 But why new post?

I think this is a problem with definitions...  A "post" is an single message in a "thread".  This message by me is a 'post' in this 'thread' entitled "Replaced Motherboard/CPU but now cannot access shares from any PC?".  On this Forum, threads are officially called "Topics".   (Understand that I started out back in the early 1990's with dial-up and local BBS's.  The Internet came later!)

 

The reason for a new post is so that people realize that you have added more information to the thread.  IF you put that diagnostics file in the (for example) in your first post, no one will realize that you did so as that is not considered by the BBS software as new information to the thread and it does not flag the thread as having new information.  The volunteers who monitor this board will never realize that you provided the requested information unless they were to reread the entire thread!

 

To summarize you always want to add new information to a new post at the end of the thread.  If you must edit an early post (other than the last one) for anything but grammar, you should consider a new post indicating that you did modify an earlier post.

@Frank1940 So sorry, that all makes perfect sense, I think I must have been having a brain fart as was rushing to out to pick up my daughter, I was also around with the BBS and never forget how excited I was unboxing my US Robotics Sportster!! 

 

I have attached the diagnosics, and thank you again.

You have a static address (192.168.0.33) assigned to your 10Gb card.  Did you reserve that address on the Router?  You are using the same 10Gb card as in the old system?  (A new card would have a different MAC address which confuse the router.)

 

Look on the Main page of the GUI and verify that the array is started. 

 

Make sure you have your Unraid server set up to become the Local Master.   (Settings   >>>   SMB   >>>  Workgroup Settings)

 

What error messages are you getting back from your client computer. 

 

PS--- My assumption is that you are accessing the GUI from a client computer.

Yes, my router assigns the IP address via the MAC address

 

Look on the Main page of the GUI and verify that the array is started. Yes, Array started

 

Make sure you have your Unraid server set up to become the Local Master.   (Settings   >>>   SMB   >>>  Workgroup Settings) Yes, Local master is set

 

What error messages are you getting back from your client computer. Host Unreachable

 

PS--- My assumption is that you are accessing the GUI from a client computer. I accessed the GUI and tried to connect to shares from 4 different clients around the house.

 

I have rebooted 5-6 times throughout the day and everything is now working as expected! no changes other than docker changes/installs and a VM install, so nothing that can affect this issue, 

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at this but now working again without explanation.  I will report back if anything changes and again, thank you!

This almost sounds like the time for the SMB network to settle down onto a stable configuration.  See here for times:

This is why it is so important to have only one computer (preferably on 24-7) designated to be the Local Master.   Your Unraid server should be the first choice for this duty.

 

My first modem was a 300baud AT&T modem (can't remember the model) but it was not even dial-up.  You had to have a telephone attached to it and hand dial the number.  When the connection was established, you then hung up the phone!  The first one that I had with built-in dialing was a 1200 baud one.

Wow! I forgot about those!! never used one myself but have seen them 😄  I remember when my company (Siemens) got their first laptop I was a service engineer and if I needed it I had to book it and get it taxi'd over to me, things we take for granted eh??

 

My server is Local Master and on 24/7 it is just the swap of motherboard/cpu that caused the wobble!  I thought I was saving money swapping to intel from AMD... I was wrong! 

 

Thanks so much for your help, really appreciate it!
