I have been running Proxmox for a few months now without issue. I recently bought a HightPoint Rocket 1108 NVMe HBA. I put 4 4TB SSDs in it and installed it. It looks good in the bios for all SSDs shown in the NVMe config.

The problem is that when Proxmox boots up I can't ping anything but itself, and nothing on the network can ping or get to the Proxmox server. Then if I remove the HBA everything works just fine.

Any thoughts on why this is happening?

My hardware is as follows:
Asus B550-I
Ryzen 5700G
32GB Ram
 
Adding or removing PCIe devices will change the name of your NIC. Install the HBA, connect a display and keyboard and run ip a to get the new name of your NIC. Then use nano /etc/network/interfaces to edit your old network config to fit the new NIC name (should be at least 2 places where you need to edit it). Then reboot and networking should work again.

Okay, I see what you mean I looked at this before. I pulled this out and ran a comparison.

This is without the HBA Installed:

2: enp5s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master vmbr0 state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 50:eb:f6:ce:32:d6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlp4s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether dc:21:5c:b6:c1:eb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: vmbr0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000

inet 10.1.1.10/24 scope global vmbr0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

This is with the HBA Installed:

2: enp15s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether 50:eb:f6:ce:32:d6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlp14s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether dc:21:5c:b6:c1:eb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: vmbr0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether ae:82:ff:d7:ce:43 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.1.1.10/24 scope global vmbr0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Do I change the name in the interfaces of the enp5s0 and wlp3s0 to enp15so and wlp13s0?

Thanks,
Corey
