October 7, 20169 yr Is anybody running Mellanox MNPA19-XTR on Unraid and windows and can you share how you set them up. What I'm trying to do is prioritize the Mellanox MNPA19-XTR connection when I transfer files from my Windows 10 PC to my Unraid server. I have already setup their own IP address on each card but what I'm unsure is how do I get them to talk to each other when a transfer takes place over LAN. Unraid(6.2.1) had bond my two ethernet connections on my motherboard to the Mellanox MNPA19-XTR. I isolated the Mellanox MNPA19-XTR card by itself & assigned its own IP address but I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do it. I know I seen a few post where people who got them working but nobody has posted a howto etc. see screenshot for system specs
October 7, 20169 yr Community Expert I'm sure there are other ways, but what I did was add the server and its 10GbE IP address to my hosts file, so any connection to it uses that interface. # Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself. # 127.0.0.1 localhost # ::1 localhost 10.0.0.21 tower 10.0.0.22 tower2 10.0.0.23 tower3 10.0.0.24 tower4 10.0.0.25 tower5 10.0.0.26 tower6 10.0.0.27 tower7 You can also use the 10GbE IP address, i.e., \\10.10.10.1\Share instead of \\tower\share
October 8, 20169 yr Author Thanks again Johnnie that got it working I just had to add the 10G adapter IP to my Windows 10 hosts file, rebooted, and started working.
