Hello, I have a R620 that I would like to setup with UnRaid. I seen a lot of people with R710, R610, R720, etc with UnRaid setups. What are the BIOS setting you have used to be successful in install? I have gotten to the GUI setup but networking cuts out during loading of OS to RAM. I have taken a spare PC with a few drives to practice with the UnRaid OS but would love for the final, if purchased lives on my R620. BIOS Boot instead of UEFI Boot to USB FDD ? As Always thanks in advance for taking the time.

Do I need OS iDrac pass though enabled in bios

when I log into the GUI the and go to the tools>network at the bottom it tells me, "Interface Ethernet Port 0 is down. Check cable!"....all are plugged in. I noticed during server bootup im getting connectivity to both server and the switch. But during the loading into Ram the lights go out. And the boot selection screen loads.

I initially had set up the bond there and Router. When it didn't setup boot didnt get network connection I reset both back to just the nic 1 (eth0) 802.3ad. I just plugged them back and reset router to Aggregate for the 4 nics.

Thanks Again for replying. I posted the diagnostic zip file right above the df output if that’s what you are referring to. I did see a thread saying to delete the network config and reboot. Gonna try that now

Here is the ‘df’ you requested

@trurl Request Diagnostic unraid620-diagnostics-20210517-1829.zip

sorry just got home...working on the dh -h for you now and thanks for the boot info @trurl I am also getting diagnostic for you now too...thanks for all your help! I did come across a thread that you help a similar situation. I don't know if this is the problem but hope it help.

I will check when I get home. Bios is set to boot to the Sandisk Cruzer Fit 32GB. But now looking through images on line. I do remember mine saying in the bottom right corner about the 'array not started' in RED or something like that. Unlike like the green 'array started' in this pic

Thanks itimpi!...trurl....I just DL yesterday Unraid 6.9.2 ... Home in an hour to post my diagnostics as trurl threw out

1st time Unraid user here...disclaimer placed 😜. In my home lab setup I had 2 R620s running Proxmox and a R710 setup with Rockstor. Lately I have heard so many peeps talking about UnRaid so I decided to go through and g-part all my disk in one 620 and make an Unraid setup to see what all the stink was about. I'm not new to the internals of these boxes as I bought all 3 off Ebay dirt cheap and rebuilt them all to fully functioning populated servers with HBAs, Ram, an upgraded CPUs of course 😉. Yes, I am running the latest 2.9.0 FW for my R620 as well. My network is the Unifi with with the UDM-Pro, Unifi 24port switch and more to give a base of network. So I made a SanDisk boot using the imager on the UR site. While doing so I went to the docs to see if there was any road blocks I needed to look out for; which I thought was straight forward considering the other 2 bare metal OSs I've installed. However, during bootup watching my switch (lights) and Router Dashboard I can see when the server comes online and then goes to the install selection. 1st time I just let it boot to headless but wasn't getting response to tower or tower.local...so I tried just the IP...nothing. Looked at the switch and the server and neither were showing connection lights. So, I decided to reboot and select with GUI with root and nopasswd. Got in and gave root a beast passwd right away and started assigning drives and networking (no Bonding yet ) selected trial to copy code ..... noda! This is driving me batshhh.....! It did say that networking would not be available until Registration but I CAN'T GET Registered. Read all 12 drives and every eth or eno (8 together). Please Please help. I know nic's are fine. They were in bonded-aggregate mode before but made sure to disable and reboot router prior to install. I hate to come this close to install just to turn it back into a Node for Proxmox. Defeats my purpose of a learning homelab if I can't figure this out. Someone told me to virtualize it in Proxmox but I want the Bare metal install. Am I Dreaming of a unconfigurable UnRaid server? Any response to my issue, I thank you in advance!! I would love to be part of this growing community of 'Die-Hards'!
