Re: Qlogic Bcm57810 Driver Windows Server 2022

I watched multiple guides and have googled an epic ton and believe i have setup everything properly but i am only able to get a speed of 400+ MB/s capping at 500. I have setup a ramdisk on the windows pc and tried transferring between a Unassigned Devices SSD, and have tried transferring between an SSD on the windows PC and an SSD on the unRAID server. i have also setup iperf3 and run the necessary test's and am only getting about maybe 3.89 to 4 GB bandwith speed. I have tweaked the settings of the MTU/jumbo frames and it absolutely makes no difference, what is it that i am missing ?
Im sorry i dont understand im not sure i understand how to run that test i followed the latest spaceinvaderone video tutorial regarding iperf i dont think he did anything in particular to get it working for him. I followed along and definitelydid not get the same result
that makes sense which is why spaceinvaderone used 2 ramdisks in his tutorial. but then my question is why do i get these speeds using iperf3 which ignores hard drives. my PC on the left unRAID server on the right
Iperf tests the actual LAN bandwidth, you're unlikely to get significantly more speed during a single transfer than that result, it's usually the hardware used limiting that, NIC, cable, switch, even board/CPU combo.
So i have replaced the broadcom cards with Mellanox MCX311A-XCAT CX311A ConnectX-3 EN 10G Ethernet 10GbE SFP+ x2 I have created a ramdisk in windows 10 and also unraid. I have 64GB of ddr3 ecc memory in unraid server 32 GB of ram in windows machine. i could be wrong but wouldnt this test ignore any hardware limitations and yield better results ?
not sure what im doing wrong here when im using iperf to test and frames and every other setting has been checked. Cards have been changed and even transferring from ram disk to ram disk isnt working. id say only 2 times ever when transferring to a unassigned devices SSD did i see it go well over 1.09GB/s
So after some times i have made numerous changes and seem to still be having an issue, i have changed the mellanox card in the server to Mellanox MCX312A-XCBT CX312A ConnectX-3 EN 10GbE SFP+ Dual-Port PCI-E NIC. I have also purchased 2x Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 250GB - M.2 NVMe Interface Internal Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology one in the desktop one in the desktop one in the server as an unassigned device. MTU settings 9014 on both cards. on the windows side both send and receive buffers 4096, interruption moderation disabled, receive side scaling enabled.
So an update. to further try and resolve this i ended up transferring the card into a shuttle PC which is currently running windows 7 and when doing speed tests the cards gave me 1GB going both directions between the server and client. and then thought to myself something must be wrong with my windows 10 install, I made a partition backup and re-installed the OS and tested the speed and speed was great this time between the original machine and server. I began to install programs one by one testing transfer speed immediately afterwards, when i finally got to my antivirus (avast) I found that when installed it slows down my LAN transfers to about 300MB/s and 200 going back to client PC even trying to add the network shares to be excluded from the program entirely it made no difference im not sure whats up with their firewall but i have googled and found multiple posts regarding this. and have not found what the solution could be
But I would not think that it would have a strict firewall for a locally mapped drive and even in the settings no discernable way to resolve it. Even when you specify to.leave specific locations alone if I cant figure it out I'll certainly be moving on to something else that doesn't perform this way, I'm open to any suggestions for a new AV software
Its not something i can fix used AVAST as an antivirus and firewall the only way to get around this issue was to remove the firewall component of the software completely. Not even disabling it was good enough
I did a completely new install to Windows 10 Pro, Version 2004, OS build 19041.610 . That brought the iperf3 speed to around 2 Gbit/sec. Booting in Safe mode and shutting down all services that could be shut down did not improve matters until Zonealarm was shut down. Speed now at around 2.4 Gbit. After I completely removed Zonealarm and replaced it with Kaspersky, iperf3 speed was at around 3 Gbit/s, but that was as fast as I could tweak it.
All possible tweaks (jumbo frames, large buffers, etc.) applied with near zero impact. Changed and updated drivers, even swapped 10 GBE NICs on the Windows machine (Asus/Aquantia XG-C100C and Intel X540-T2, both in a x8 slot of the Windows machine).
The fact that the same hardware runs at close to wire speed with Ubuntu on both sides, and that Ubuntu to Windows 10 Pro, Ver 1909 runs twice as fast as Ubuntu to Windows 10 Pro, Version 2004, tells me that something is wrong with the latest Windows.
I brought ProLiant ML10 Gen 9 server, I installed Windows Server 2016 Standard. after I installed the OS and go to device manager to check th driver of the Ethernet... It's seem's the driver is already installed but when I plug the LAN Cable there is no connectivity between the LAN Cable and NIC... No LED is on.
I downloaded the driver in HPE support and there's a lot of Network Driver there for windows server 2016. it's said The software will not be installed on tis sytem because the reqiured hardware is not present in the system or the software/firmware doesn't apply o this system. I think I downloaded everything in the HPE support.
If you check in the device management (expand network adapters) with the current badly installed driver the complete name of the network card you can select the correct one on HPE with your serial number of the server.
If it gives you a different error, for example the driver you want to install is older then the one currently installed you accept that. Or first deinstall the current device through device management (Uninstall driver NOT disable device) you can then install the one downloaded which is corresponding with your name in the first step mentioned in this reply.
If you are unable to get it working through this tips please provide a picture of the network port where you attached the cable to and also a screenshot of your network connections and network adapters in your device management.
