May 7, 20233 yr When I start unRAID VM service the onboard Ethernet goes dead. I run pfSense on my unRAID server using a 4 port 1gb nic. I had a Realtek nic but it would become unresponsive so I swapped it out with an Intel I350 4 port nic. Now I can’t start the VM service running pfSense. I believe it has to do with pfsense set to auto start and the current interface assignments not matching the hardware now. Previously I changed the assignments in the console but now I can’t get that far. Could it be that my z590 motherboard onboard Ethernet is Realtek 2.5Gbe and the NIC is Intel I350 1Gbe? Brand compatibility issue? oberon-diagnostics-20230507-0954.zip
May 7, 20233 yr Author I tried removing the binding of the IOMMU groups for the nic to enable the vm manager and unassigned the interfaces for pfsense, but with the 4 ports of the nic unbinded the onboard ethernet again went dark when I enabled the vm manager on unraid.
May 9, 20233 yr Author Thank you. Next time it occurs I will try this. For now I re-installed the RealTek NIC and it is working again.
