dorian Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Hi guys, I'm new to UNRAID and was looking forward to learning and playing with it, and to that end, I bought a second hand HP DL580 Gen 7 (4xCPU variant). I've unfortunately run into a stumbling block when trying to register UNRAID. The network doesn't seem to find/register correctly. The network card is a: HP NC3751 Integrated Quad Port Gigabit which can also be seen as a NetXen Incorporated NX3031 On load UNRAID reports: br0: waiting for carrier br0: carrier acquired br0: soliciting DHCP lease br0: carrier lost and the console states: Device "eth0" does not exit. With the info (from the top right of the screen) says: Network: bond0: fault-tolerance (active-backup), MTU 1500 All 4 ports are connected to the switch with no bonding set-up on the switch at this time. I'm kind of stuck here, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks. tower-diagnostics-20170423-1336.zip Edited April 23, 2017 by dorian Quote Link to comment
1812 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) try adding all 4 ports to the bonding group and leave it as active-backup. maybe just eth0 is wonky/not working right. edit-- if it is a "card" and not built into the motherboard, it may not work correctly. I know of another member here who can't get an HP 10gbe card to not get recognized correctly. see here for further: Edited April 23, 2017 by 1812 Quote Link to comment
dorian Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Hi, I've stall has no luck with this, but it looks like UNRAID is thinking that it's a 10Gb card but it's a quad 1Gb and loading the wrong drivers. The post that 1812 linked to mentions that an expansion can be added to the card making it 10Gb, so that might be the issue and why it's not working. Ethernet controller: NetXen Incorporated NX3031 Multifunction 1/10-Gigabit Server Adapter I've tried the setting LAG on all the relevant ports as 1812 recommended, but still no IP. It's the same when only one port is in use and LAG is disabled. Just to get me going with UNRAID, I ordered a 2 port Intel Pro PT (EXPI9402PTBLK), which worked first time in LAG balance-xor. Which registered as: IOMMU group 17 [8086:105e] 08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06) IOMMU group 18 [8086:105e] 08:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06) I'll be going back to try and get the HP NC3751 integrated NIC working (I'm learning more all the time), but in the meantime, if anyone has any further thoughts, feel free to comment. If I do get a solution, I'll report it back. Hopefully, it'll save someone the pain in the future. Quote Link to comment

dorian Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the information. I'll do that. I'd assumed (incorrectly) that since UNRAID identified the card, and it had loaded a driver, not necessarily the correct driver though. That it was something that I was missing. Kind of like how Windows would just say unknown device or it just wouldn't show. Out of curiosity, how did you know that there is no driver? Is there are list of drivers included in releases somewhere? Just trying to build my UNRAID knowledge... Edited May 6, 2017 by dorian Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Diagnostics/system/lspci.txt . It shows the devices and the driver in use, e.g., your controller: 03:00.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: Hewlett-Packard Company Smart Array G6 controllers [103c:323a] (rev 01) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Smart Array P410i [103c:3245] Kernel driver in use: hpsa Kernel modules: hpsa If there's nothing below the device it means there's no driver loaded.

JorgeB Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 BTW, looks like that driver is already going to be added for next release: Quote Link to comment
