    VirtualBox Plugin for unRAID v5 and v6

    in Plugin Support

    Posted

    In the "Mount and Startup" options, what is the field labeled "VirtualBox symbolic link (part of install package) - Change from default /boot/custom/vbox:" supposed to point to?

     

    I have my virtualbox vms at /mnt/cache/appdata/virtualbox.  Is this where I should be pointing the Virtualbox symbolic link?

     

    It is where some of the log files are kept. You can leave it where it is originally (flash drive) but that means there will be multiple writes to the flash drive and thus a chance of reducing its lifetime.

    What are these ?

    They seem to have the same serial number

    I have just encountered an issue with the plugin.

     

    I precleared a drive (using the preclear plugin) and it completed successfully.

     

    Now I want to format and mount it using Unassigned Devices plugin but format button is grayed out (with array running and also stopped).

     

    when I go into the new (sdf) and existing (sde) drives I don't see any format type option.

     

    See attached

    I also uploaded a logfile from the main screen as you described

    Just wanted to say thanks, I love this plugin.

     

     

    One feature request - some way to make the optical drive a separate breakout floating - sort of like the thumb drive?

     

    I don't think so because they usually take up a slot/tray.

     

    What you can do is define a larger array and hide some trays .

    Starting with the last question first then I will get to the outputs of the requested commands.  The controller is a SuperMicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8.  Not sure which firmware rev., but I will check when I have a chance.  I will also try adding a couple more SAS drives but connect them with a reverse cable directly to the MB SATA ports (been meaning to do that any way).

     

    Please retry with the latest plugin version.

    Hey Guys,

    I seem to have a similar problem to those early on that experienced drives not showing up.  In my case I believe the issue relates to my use of SAS drives.  The discovery string "ata-" works fine for my cache SSD, but I believe i need an additional "if else" statement to identify SCSI (i.e. "scsi-")

     

    Any chance adding that is a possibility?

     

    Thanks!

    Please test new version and post screenshot of Layout and DATA tab if possible.

    First off, Big thanks for the plugin and especially for working to add a fix for this non-typical device type.  It is very much appreciated.

     

    So... I now see one of the SAS devices on the "Data" page. Yaaaay!!!  But, not the other 7 that are currently installed.  Here is what I have done so far:

    1 - updated Server Layout plugin (SAS drive sde shows up on data page)

    2 - rebooted & clicked "update Smartmontools Database" (sde is still present but no other SAS drives)

    2 - updated unRaid to 6.1.3 & reboot & clicked "update Smartmontools Database" (sde is still present but no other SAS drives)

     

    I should also note, and this is not related to this plugin, but I think it may be relevant.  When my array is started and the disks show 'green' on the Main page, I never see drive temps.  Also, when I select a disk from the main page it always says the SAS drives are "Unavailable - disk must be spun up".  When I select spin-up the page refreshes but nothing changes.  I think support of SAS drives in unRaid as a whole is minimal.

    - EDIT -

    I forgot to mention that even when drives show active all 'smart' option buttons are greyed out with the exception of the afore mentioned 'spin-up' and the 'download'.

    Please post output of "ls -las /dev/disk/by-id".

    and "lsscsi" and "lsscsi -t" and "smartctl --all /dev/sdx" of one of the drives connected to the SAS.

     

    Are you using an Areca controller?
