Hello, I want to build the array using a DS4243 shelf, and I don't want the shelf 24/7, only when needed. I was thinking to stop the array while not using the shelf, but then I can't have Docker/VM running. If I stop the shelf without stopping the array for sure it will be a mess ( disks disabled, parity rebuilds ... ). How can I have an array not in 24/7 and using Docker/VM? Virtualizing Unraid under Proxmox? Any other options? Thanks!

Hello, I have a WinPC with a H310 HBA connected to a NetApp DS4243 with 6 slots free. All the drives are shared through StableBit DrivePool. Recently I was able to get a Dell R720 and wanted to move everything to Unraid. I would like to "maintain" the shares while doing the "migration", so if start copying a disk to the new array, and then I delete the copied disk (to be put after in the array), I will see the info in the new share from Unraid. My idea was to create an initial array with the 6 slots free that I have in DS4243, put the H310 in the R720, create a Win-vm in Unraid, passthrough the disks from DS4243 to the VM but then I can't see the disks in Unraid to create the array. So, how can I achieve that? I have another H310 with 8087-sata cables. I don't know if that can help. Thanks!
