laevy Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hello, I had a unraid server installed on an older system, but it was getting a bit slow. I bought a new Motherboard, the Supermicro SM X10SL7-F, and CPU, Intel Xeon E3-1231V3. I started up the new system with the USB I had always used and it seemed to start up fine. I used ifconfig to get my IP addy, but it didn't list one. Attached is a picture. What can I do to fix this? Thanks Link to comment
itimpi Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Have you tried the other LAN ports? I believe that board has 2 LAN ports and an IPMI port. unRAID will only use one of the LAN ports and I believe that you need another connection to the router if you want to use the IPMI port.

laevy Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hello, I tried the other LAN ports and also the IPMI port. I tried different ethernet cables. I tried going from my router and then from my switch. Frustratingly, none of these worked. I looked in my BIOS if there was anything disabled, but I didn't see anything that stuck out.

garycase Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 What version of UnRAID are you using? If v5, then (using a different flash drive) load a copy of the latest v6 Beta and see if it works okay. I seem to recall there was an issue with NIC support for that board at some point, so it may be that you're using a version that doesn't support the onboard NICs. If that's the case, you can probably get a driver for your version, but first confirm that it's okay with v6B12 Link to comment
laevy Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks. I'll give that a try tonight. Link to comment
nate1749 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 By default, I had a motherboard disable one of the two ethernet ports in BIOS, so checking there may also help. Link to comment
laevy Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Using version 6 worked to get an ip. I was able to mount 3 of 9 drives (1 parity, 2 disks), but when I try to start the other 6 in the array nothing happens. It says "restart smb..." at the bottom and then just goes back to the array operations screen. Every drive was working well in my old array. Any ideas? Link to comment
garycase Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 If you did this test on a new flash drive (as I had suggested), then you just have the Basic version, which only supports 3 devices. Since you know that's the issue, you need to put v6 on your licensed flash drive, and be sure the key file is there as well. Be CERTAIN you save your key file -- it MUST be on the drive for UnRAID to provide the level of drive support you've paid for (I presume you have a Pro key since you indicated you have 9 drives).

garycase Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Alternatively, you could e-mail Tom and see if he has a NIC driver for v5 for that motherboard => I suspect he does. Up to you whether you want to simply use your current v5 configuration or go ahead and upgrade to the current v6 Beta. Link to comment

I was thinking in the night and I think this is probably the issue. I'll let you know later tonight. Link to comment
