June 14, 201313 yr Hi guys, I know some of you have this board and are running unRaid via esxi. I do to. But I can not get both nics working. Only one is showing. How to troubleshoot? I can't find any place in bios to enable or disable... Can I get some screenshots on how these pages look at your end?? What am I missing? and
June 15, 201313 yr First, I have no useful feedback... I have this same board and bought it knowing there was an issue, specifically with esxi not recognizing the addition nic. However, I have not tested my board yet. It has 3 onboard NICs total. I read it in the feedback section of newegg during my shopping. However, I am not sure if this is just for pre 5.1 versions of esxi or not. When researching more I found most users were using the old bios (2.0) or the -F version of the board not IIF or IIF-O
June 15, 201313 yr You have to install a driver for the second NIC. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=17936.0 Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
June 15, 201313 yr When you used F2 on the ESXi console screen did you setup both nics? You don't have one of them setup for passthrough in ESXi?
June 15, 201313 yr Author When you used F2 on the ESXi console screen did you setup both nics? You don't have one of them setup for passthrough in ESXi? Can't remember if I actually saw 2 in the original setup in esxi when doing F2.. I might start over from scratch again.. I need to read up on how to preserve the VM's before doing that. Thanks BobPhoenix
June 15, 201313 yr You have to install a driver for the second NIC. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=17936.0 ...this is true for the X9SCM-F only, not for the -iiF model which comes with two identical NICs, both recognizable by stock ESXi. ESXi will only activate the first during a standard install. You can use the second one when installing a second vswitch. I don't own that board but it has been the same with my X8SIL-F (which also comes with these two NICs on-board). However it should show up in the list as unconfigured, AFAIR...maybe there is a jumper on board to (de-)activate it?
