Ok so that is comparing your two systems?
Both are running 2.4.4 and both have the same Chelsio card in?
In that case I would try swapping the cards between the systems and see if the fault follows the card.
Otherwise can we see the complete output of
pciconf -lvfrom both systems?Steve
-
@stephenw10 I did still no change :(
-
So you swapped the cards and the issue stayed with the same system?
Then if the same card works fine in pfSense 2.4.4 on the other system there is a difference with the system setup or something in the config that is different. The pciconf output between the two systems looks identical?

@stephenw10 Hello
I just compare both firmware in lifecycle controller seems the stupid dell have mind of it own the lifecycle controller had upgraded itself to a newer version
FIRMWARE:
BIOS : v2.5.1
Lifecycle Controller : v1.1.1.18HARDWARE I USED
CPU: E5-2450L 1.8GHz 8-core
RAM : 24GB ECC Registered
Network adapter: Chelsio T580-SO-CR
SAS Controller: PERC H310 mini
HDD: Intel SSD 545s Series 256GB
IDRAC: IDRAC7 Enterprise with dedicated cardSome tips:
iDRAC7 (if) make sure you disable auto update option
Lifecycle Controller: Disabled - Just in-caseI will tested to see if it works as is without tuning it and I will post it here so if someone wants to build system like mine won't go trough hell like me
Thank you

UPDATE
Everything is working perfectly.
The total price of this configuration is less then $700 including R320, Chelsio T580-SO-CR and Intel 545 SSD
I will lower it to $600 because I just found seller on eBay selling Chelsio T580-LP-CR for less then $200. All recommendations on the net was, that T580-LP-CR is the best choice for pfSense.
I've got stuck for day on configuring NEXUS 3132Q-V, but was worth it. When I am done building the HA Cluster I will have the chance to test the speed and submit it to this post.Thank you all
-
So just to confirm the cause of the issue here was the "lifecycle controller"? And only in the updated firmware version?
Glad it wasn't a conspiracy anyway.
Steve
-
@stephenw10 Yes that was the problem stupid new auto firmware update on the idrac7 option
and before that to old version of the BIOS v1.5.2 upgraded to v2.5.1 and downgraded to LC v1.1.1.18 and all seems to work fineYes, sorry about that I was 24h straight trying to find the solution I am glad you are not a conspirator :)
Thank you
-
Is that a bug or brand new Chelsio T580-SO-CR one of the ports just failed
"cxl1: Interface stopped DISTRIBUTING, possible flapping "
thank you
-
It's not a bug as far as I know. What is it connected to? Does it show the link as down? Does it comes back up if you disconnect and reconnect the link?
Steve
-
@stephenw10 the link is up does not come down but I am getting this error on the vga console and I can't make sense of it.
-
If it part of a lagg group? Usually that indicates it's been removed from the group because it was showing the link go up and down too rapidly to be actual disconnects.
Is there nothing logged in the system log when that happens?
Are you actually seeing it lose connectivity.Steve
-
What is it connected to? What is in the logs there?

xlameee… Can you provide me a link to the LC v1.1.1.18 software. I am trying to setup a DELL R320 server for pfSense and having some issues.
Thanks..

One more thing.. How do you install the LC without an OS installed? I can't seem to install it from the LifeCycle Controller GUI upon boot up.

xlameee… Can you please answer my questions about the LC version for the Dell R320.
