July 27, 20232 yr So turning on the server, I get link lights on the card and on the switch it is plugged into. This takes a bit as it goes through a bunch of LSI/Intel/etc boot screens. The lights stay on throughout the whole boo process. However, once it hits the grub bootloader and it starts loading unraid, the lights go out and I only get lights on the first port (eth4), (eth5) absolutely refuses to come back up. No amount of swapping transceivers or cables fixes it, it is *always* eth5. Booting from an Ubuntu livecd it detects both ports and successfully grabs IPs from DHCP, so it seems to be some sort of unraid driver issue. tower-diagnostics-20230727-1706.zip Edited July 27, 20232 yr by OverlordQ
July 27, 20232 yr Author So evidently for 'reasons' you can't bring ports up through the UI (even after stopping docker), but opening a terminal and `ifconfig ethX up` get's it working. Why I didn't have to do that on eth4 is a mystery, and why this isn't something doable through the GUI is another mystery.
