Thunderbolt interface vanishing when client shuts down...

[andyvs]

Hi everyone...here's the thing. I have a server running Openmediavault (a NAS interface for Debian) where I installed a Thunderbolt card. I configured the network interface, connected it directly to a MacBook via cable, bridged it, it works fine, I load the shares from the server via SMB, transfer super fast, everything works great. But...when I boot or turn off the Mac, the TB interface on the server disappears, and when I turn it back on it doesn't reappear. I discovered that when I shutdown the server (not just reboot it ) the interface reappears and everything works again...any idea what this could be?

I'm lost here, and I don't want to keep turning the server on and off every time I close the Mac!

Thanks for any help!

Have you gone into your BIOS settings and tweaked the Thunderbolt settings so it does not shut off?

I did, found a parameter that solved the problem! Thanks!
