Hey all thx again for the quick feedback. IMac ethernet chipset does not support JF either… But Drobo Dashboard still seems oblivious so far, in direct-connect or going through AirPort Extreme.Īnyone know the specific steps I should take to get Drobo Dashboard to see my Drobo FS again, or even how to reset my Drobo via another method (web admin?) to use much KVīy the way: I’m quite sure the iMac does not support Jumbo Frames. Since no luck with direct connect, I went back to using my AirPort Extreme but reset my iMac Ethernet to plain old “auto” with the following all cabled together: Drobo-FS until I can reset) => AirPort Extreme => iMac a bit strange IMO is that my Drobo FS is visible in Mac OS X- I can see it as “Drobo-FS” under the “Shared” area in the Finder disc window, and I can even get the DroboFS Time Machine volume to mount in the Finder when I click on it, view the file, etc. ![]() So I tried to set my FS back by connecting my Drobo FS directly to my iMac via Ethernet- which I did set to MTU=9000- cycled power on my Drobo FS and quit/restarted Drobo Dashboard, but my FS is still not being seen by Drobo Dashboard. Here was my setup using cables (not WiFi): Drobo-FS => AirPort Extreme => iMac then I realized/found out that AirPort Extreme doesn’t seem to support Jumbo Frames via the standard GigE jacks (the WAN jack does have that setting, but the other jacks don’t seem to). ![]() My iMac and AirPort Extreme all have their latest software and firmware updates as well. I’m using Drobo Dashboard Version 1.7.3 (5), which I think my Drobo FS reported was the latest when I checked before enabling Jumbo Frames. Question: Anyone know the specific steps I should take to get Drobo Dashboard to see my Drobo FS again, or even how to reset my Drobo via another method (web admin?) to use the default I’m a new Drobo FS user- seemed to work good at first, but looking for bit more speed I enabled Jumbo Frames via the Drobo Dashboard (MTU=9000) to test that feature out, followed the Drobo Dashboard directions to reboot, but after reboot I’m not seeing my Drobo via the Drobo Dashboard. Problem: Drobo Dashboard has lost sight of my new Drobo FS, although I can mount the shares/volumes via Mac OS X Finder. Note - this also posted to tech support earlier today, but I need my Drobo FS setup asap to backup my HD and haven’t heard back yet so posting here in case someone else has experience
