new server & unRaid this weekend. using SuperMicro X7SPA-HF motherboard with IPMI capability. UnRaid boots, can log in to verify eth0 connected with id of 192.168.0.3. When I connect to either //tower or //192.168.0.3, the supermicro management utility sign-on screen is presented, I can sign in and look at the health of the server. I disabled IPMI in the bios, same result. I didn't find any way to specify the 2nd LAN connection so I could use a 2nd IP. Don't think there's a way to disable the utility on the 1st LAN port.

 

I can't get to the unRaid management utility. Is there some way to specify a start page after //tower?

 

Attached syslog but I think this just a very basic issue

syslog.txt

unRAID uses the first LAN port on the motherboard it sees.

 

You'll probably need to disable the one you are not using in the BIOS.

in this Supermicro motherboard you get 2 IPs for the same port.

the 1st for the IPMI and an additional one for "regular" traffic.

If you are using a router you can see both IPs in the router's IP list.

 

MB has jumpers for LAN ports, disable 1 or 2, uses whichever is available as port 1, no BIOS entry for disabling the ports.

 

Unraid does not configure port 2 based on info from ifconfig eth0/1, no IP assigned to eth1, Apple router shows only 1 DHCP addr on TOWER thus unable to use port 2 or a secondary IP on port 1 to contact Unraid utility. Is there some way to configure port 2?

 

Unraid utility lead page is MAIN according to the docs. Is there a way to specify a start page in the URL? EG //192.168.0.2:80/MAIN.htm or some other way around the default supermicro menu?

Sounds Like a Supermicro MoBo issue.  What does Supermicro Tech Support have to say?

Petunia, I responded to your PM.  But theone has the same response I gave you.  If your IPMI is using the same IP address as unRAID, you will hit the IPMI side of the board.  You need to go into your BIOS and change the IPMI IP address.  unRAID does not support multiple ethernet ports, so the only one you can configure is eth0.  Please tell us your configuration: what IP address is your IPMI? what IP address is eth0/unRAID? are you using DHCP or static IP addresses?

The way I set this up with this MB is to manually assign both IPs and disregard automatic router DHCP assignments.  Go into BIOS at boottime and give the IPMI an IP something like 192.168.0.10.  Then, edit the unRaid flash drive /boot/config/network.cfg file to something like:

 

# Generated settings:

USE_DHCP=no

IPADDR=192.168.0.20

NETMASK=255.255.255.0

GATEWAY=192.168.0.1

HWADDR=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

DHCP_KEEPRESOLV=no

DNS_SERVER1=192.168.0.1

DNS_SERVER2=

DNS_SERVER3=

 

 

I also added these two lines to my 'go' script just in case:

 

echo nameserver 192.168.0.1 >/etc/resolv.conf

echo 192.168.0.20 tower >>/etc/hosts

 

Of course, use you own appropriate gateway and DNS Server addresses.

 

Thanks to all responders- setting IPMI & server IPs to a different address and flushing the DNS cache worked. Some where it should be documented that all IPMI enabled MB must have 2 different IPs, one for IPMI menu and the other for UnRaid utility
