ucliker Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 They will not work in the current Freenas build but the work in nas4free which is basically the same. Which version of unRaid are you running Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
ucliker Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Yes $75.00 is the price for everything. No unfortunately I do not have the low profile brackets. You can find them occasionally on eBay/ If I have a card I really want to use I modify the bracket or find a video card bracket and modify that. picked up my cards LOT of 2 for $36 + $20postage to the u.k i think that was a bargin, used 5m cable was about $28 in the uk. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182076137891?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT mine came with low profile , i might throwm them up on ebay ^^ its dremel time with an spare pci bracket.... my question is there's small white 3pin header at the top of the card, is that for a fan ? The 3 pin header is for I2C-compatible Interface A three-pin header on the adapter cards is provided as the I2C-compatible interface. See Figure 13, “Mechanical Drawing of the Dual-port MCX312A-XCBT Adapter Card,” on page 37 for the loca- tion on the board. Quote Link to comment
ucliker Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Are you running the latest version of unRAID? If not you may need to upgrade. Also, I am running the latest 6.1.9 plus version. Let me know which version your running Quote Link to comment
Akio Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 unraid 6.1.9 just ran 'lspci' and found it 81:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT26448 [ConnectX EN 10GigE, PCIe 2.0 5GT/s] (rev b0) ran 'lspci -n found the card and the id needed so im gonna try putting that into the flash and see what happens after a reboot... its a learning curve Syslinux configuration: append pci-stub.ids= thanks for all your help ^^ i was just curious about the pin's , hmm wonder if i can mount a 40mm noctura to the heatsink and power that seperately Quote Link to comment

guyonphone Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 It just so happens that I also picked up a couple of these cards for 10gbps. I put one card into my windows machine, windows sees it perfectly. Unraid, not so much :-(. I am still having issues, here are the problems I am having. 1. I installed the card and booted Unraid. Unraid detects the card automatically. At this point my 1gbps card is still connected as well. root@Unraid:~# ethtool -i eth1 driver: mlx4_en version: 2.2-1 (Feb 2014) firmware-version: 2.9.1000 bus-info: 0000:05:00.0 supports-statistics: yes supports-test: yes supports-eeprom-access: no supports-register-dump: no supports-priv-flags: yes 2. In order to get unraid to give it an ip i had to run the following command ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.21 netmask 255.255.255.0 up this gave us an IP address. eth1: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.69.21 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.69.255 ether 00:02:c9:51:ee:00 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 3. I rebooted Unraid but the setting did not stay, linux just showed eth0 as being up. 4. So I added the following to my go script. ifconfig eth0 192.168.69.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 up ifconfig eth1 192.168.69.21 netmask 255.255.255.0 up /usr/local/sbin/emhttp -p 444 & 5. So i rebooted again, and this time I could ping both interfaces. The go script above is so far the only success I have had with the mellanox cards. 6. I decide that I want to disable the 1Gbps nic. So i edit the go file to remove the up commands , reboot to bios, disable the on board 1Gbps nic, and resart again. /usr/local/sbin/emhttp -p 444 & 7. This doesn't work, in fact no way that I wrote the go script would work with the on board nic enabled disabled. The card is seen in linux, ifconfig eth0 shows the card has an IP, but I can't access the server at all. Admittedly I don't know a lot about linux, and I am probably writing my go script incorrectly. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get unraid to respond on the 10Gbps nic with the 1gbps nic disabled? Thanks Quote Link to comment

hernandito Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 This is very interesting. I want to ask some basic questions. When cards are on each of 2 computers (unRAId and Win), the cable gets connected directly between the 2 cards? No need to connect to router? I'm thinking this could be used nightly to backup my "irreplaceable" data from the array, to Windows. I only have the one unRAID and no other NAS. Storing media and family photos, docs. Can anyone suggest additional potential uses for this? Quote Link to comment

If not, don't bother. 99% of use cases would not be applicable, so if you have to ask then that likely means you. Quote Link to comment
