Hey guys,

 

I'm using unraid 6.8.3.. everything is working fine as always. I purchased a four Mellanox MNPH29D-XTR's to use in my 3 unraid machines and my general use desktop for file transfers. When I put the card in the first machine and attempt to boot, it no longer is able to be connected to through the network and when I try to use the GUI it allows me to login but cannot connect to the local host. The server already has a statically assigned IP. If I remove the card then it boots/functions normally. All four of the cards that I purchased on ebay do have the same effect but I know it's not a problem with hardware (they all four work in two other windows work stations that I have tested with to rule this out)

 

I'm not sure what log/diagnostic files would be helpful in this situation, any help would be greatly appreciated. This has happened to me before with a different unraid box (I don't really recall what the situation was, it was over a year ago) but I ended up just recreating the USB drive and starting from scratch and it worked after that. I would really like to not have to do that again...

You might have to try the 6.9 beta

Assuming network and IP has been setup correctly and without conflicts, try power-cycling your network equipment.

 

Mellanox ConnectX-2 should have no issue working as long as its in ethernet mode.
