FreeNAS randomly stopped seeing NIC

[JDLang76]

Asus Z97-AR - Chelsio 520-BT 10gbe nic - Unifi switch

 

Worked fine for years on motherboards 1gb port. Worked fine for weeks on chelsio 10gb card. Turned it off to install an LSI HBA today and suddenly, FreeNAS doesnt think the Chelsio nic exists. Been at this for hours. Anyone have any ideas?

I'd hit up the freenas forums, lots of people there with a lot more experience. They'll likely request the same thing I'm requesting you right now:

Have you tried connecting the 10Gig card to a different machine? Does it register?

If you unplug the HBA, does it come back? It might be an addressing issue. 

Try swapping the cards around to different slots?

Just did. plugged it into a windows box and got errors when trying to install Chelsio's software. Same deal with updating drivers manually with windows. It saw the card but had all sorts of erros. Im guessing the card just went bad. Oh well.

Assuming you know the drivers for the card worked on Windows previously then yes you're probably looking at a NIC that was simply on it's last leg and failed when you shutdown the server for maintenance.

 

If you want to give it the benefit of a doubt try booting something like Ubuntu Server and see if it's recognized and works.
