Direct Connection from PC to Unraid

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to find a step by step guide to Connect my PC to Unraid.

I am using 2 Mellanox X-2 NIC, 1 for each end. and a sfp+ cable to connect them.

I know that my PC seems to be able to see the card. but I am not sure that my Unraid can.

So far, all I have done, is put the cards into the pc/unraid and connect the cable. I notice that I am unable to detect the server as well via the NIC.

What settings do I need to adjust and where do i find them?

PC uses OEM Windows 10

You need to specify an IP address to each 10GbE NIC, both on the same subnet but different from the current gigabit subnet, on Unraid that's done on settings -> network settings

Then to make sure 10GbE is used when connecting from the desktop either connect using the IP address or add the Unraid server to the Windows hosts file.
