Network interfaces diapering

[tux-box1]

I did find a similar thread https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/network-problems-in-20-12-interfaces-gone.89749/ but given the age I decided not to resurrect it.
I have Intel(R) 2P X520/2P I350 rNDC where the SFP+ ports disappear after an unspecified time.
Trying to see if anyone else has seen this same.

We need information on what version, when did it start happening?
Has anything changed?

My apologies.

Nothing's changed, I'm running through some thorough diagnostics now, they might take some time.

After a bit of digging, I believe I found the issue. Posting information here in case someone else will find it useful.
When I checked dmesg | Grep ixgbe i found a message along the lines of disabled due to unsupported device. I'm thinking ok? This worked before with truenas core, this is my fist run with scale and I didn't think it through that the driver code would be different.
I did some more digging: it seams Intel(R) Ethernet 10G 4P X520/I350 the nic in my r730xd has an on-device whitelist of SFP+ modules it will accept.
So I added a modprobe config, I'm not responsible for your copy pasting code!

Code:

echo "options ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/ixgbe.conf 
update-initramfs -u

I'm going to run some more tests soon, it's late, that's all for today.

Well the code I wrote in broke kuberneties it looks like, didn't even get around to testing other SFP+ modules. Re rolling the server fixed kuberneties, I'm back to my original problem. Looks it will be a fiber connection, Intel server side ubiquiti other side. I'll update after I get that done.
