It worked for me just now. But not sure I've ever logged into the wiki before so maybe that has something to do with it.

This is what I bought. I didn't like the idea of it being 'loose" either. Also my optical drives draw more power than I'm comfortable with off the USB port. Of course that could be a hold over from USB 2.0 since I haven't looked to see if USB 3.0 will support enough power either. Anyway Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MRUN0HQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Works great. MBs I don't buy used if I can get one new. Processors and Memory I have. Had too many new lemon MBs don't want to get something I can't RMA. Same idea with hard drives. Never gotten a bad CPU new or used so I'm ok buying used there. Mostly the same with memory.

I bought an ASRock EPC602D8A MB off newegg for my E5-2690v2 Xeon I bought on eBay. Because it takes Narrow ILM I bought a Noctua NH-D9DX i4 3U.

If you want the 32bit version of unRAID you need to email lime tech directly. See the Technical Support section here for an email address: https://lime-technology.com/contactus

I used Raptors when I had an ESXi server. They worked fine for me but I wasn't running any databases or gaming from the VMs.

Did you make a directory inside your VM called /home/daylend/UbuntuServer and then reboot or mount -a to reload fstab? I did the following: Then I created the Directory "/unraid" not that the exact path matters could have used "/mnt/unraid" for instance and used that below instead of /unraid. Then I added the following to fstab and rebooted: unraid /unraid 9p trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,_netdev,rw 0 0 And I got my user shares from my unRAID server listed when I "ls /unraid" Hope this helps.

I would put the SSDs on the two white ports closest to the blue ones they are Intel. Only the 4 white port at the end farthest away from the blue ones are Marvel. Those 2 white ports are Sata3 like the Marvel ones. Your HDDs will not need Sata3. It's only recently that HDDs (spinners) have been able to approach the Sata2 speeds. Basically the blue ports are all Sata2 speed on the MB. @johnnie.black could tell you about SSDs and the IBM M1015 for sure. But I believe the M1015 does NOT support the trim operation on SSDs on many/most SSDs. Enterprise level SSDs are most likely to support the operations needed for TRIM on an M1015.

There are a number of things that are somewhat confusing on the 4L/D16 board one of them is the Marvel ports the other is the dedicated IPMI lan port. Marvel SATA ports: IPMI dedicated lan port: I would have though that #3 above would be the IPMI port - seems more logical to me. Just like the SCU ports not being the marvel controller. But that makes a little more since since there are circuit traces on the MB for an addition 4 port to bring the SCU ports up to 8 if they were attached.

I would dissemble it - as in move or remove the fan wall. Then unscrew the back plane and pull it out. It the drive comes with it then you should have enough out to push it off the connector and out the front at that point.

No. All of my VMs are headless. I access the Windows VMs with RDP. I am passing through TV tuners to VMs to record from.

The EP2C602-4L/D16 has 3 HDD controllers. 1 6 port Intel. 1 4 port SCU Intel. and 1 Marvel 9230. When I used the Marvel 9230 ports on my 4L/D16 I got controller failures every few weeks at random intervals. It would go two months some times to less than a week other times. That is one of the reasons Marvel controllers are not recommended with v6 unRAID. For me I wasn't using them with array drives. I had passed the controller through to a VM so didn't cause me any problems in unRAID except for one. I had to reboot the WHOLE PC to get them back so was continually rebooting my unRAID server which annoyed me once too often. I then passed the 4 port Intel controller to that VM and haven't had to reboot the PC for dropped drives/controller since then. So long story short. I would turn OFF the Marvel controller in the bios if you are using it with unRAID and use the 4 port Intel for this. That of course means you can only use 6 MB ports with unRAID if you do so you may need an HBA to supplement. That's what I did. I got a 9201-16i when my 8i became insufficient for my drive connection needs. Gave me an extra 4 ports as spares - for a while.

I'm paying for their (Newegg's) premiere membership which has free return shipping. That use to pay for itself when I was ordering drives from them before I found other sources. I still have it but it isn't worth as much to me these days since drives are usually the only thing I have to return. But it does get me cheaper and/or faster shipping so I still keep it.

Not a solution for the problem but I turn off the fan control essentially and run them full speed all the time. But I have my servers in the basement in my rack so it doesn't matter how loud they are. I still see the BIOS event log entries so I periodically go and clear the log. It's annoying because it is just spamming the log and potentially hiding other important entries. So if anybody sees an improvement after a bios upgrade I would be interested too!

Just so you know the EP2C602-4L/D16 uses 4 Intel 82574L nics which work very well in unRAID. My EP2C602-4L/D16 is working well for me on 6.5.1 unRAID and before that 6.3.5 unRAID. My Tyan S5512 boards also use the 82574L nics and have been working well for me since unRAID 5.0.6. when I was running unRAID in an ESXi VM and passed the MB nics to the VM. So do as @jonathanm said and I'm sure you will get it solved.

That is why I do NOT order OEM drives from Newegg any more. Retail yes but not OEM. SuperBiiz had always done a good job of packaging drives for me and I just saw they are carrying the 8TB WD Red pro and non-pro drives again. Too bad I already got the 6 I just purchased from Amazon. I would have preferred SuperBiiz but the last time I was looking they had stopped carrying them for some reason. Amazon still has problems with the overall box packaging but the OEM drives are individually packaged in Retail like boxes so they came out OK. But I didn't like the packaging around the drives at all. Just like Newegg - Amazon had too big a box for the contents with little packing material around it. Only thing that saved the drives was Amazon's internal Retail like packaging.

Thanks. I wondered if I had my chipset wrong.

This is why I would like an option that would cause a VM to stop and wait for a key press from the VNC windows to proceed with the VM boot. Or maybe the ability to open the VNC window before you start the VM.

I only see "Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x)" on the Intel Ark site for a i7-950: https://ark.intel.com/products/37150/Intel-Core-i7-950-Processor-8M-Cache-3_06-GHz-4_80-GTs-Intel-QPI So if that is your CPU and what I'm seeing is accurate (and maybe I just missed it) then your CPU does NOT support VT-d.

Could you be having the same problem as this? https://github.com/Radarr/Radarr/issues/1849 Sorry only constructive suggestion I can give.

I got a used server pull from eBay. The last purchase was from this seller not that there was anything wrong with the other sellers that I purchased my other 9201-16i's from: https://www.ebay.com/sch/svcheck2/m.html?ssPageName=&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2654 I would NOT buy a new one from China off of eBay even if they were cheaper that the server pulls. Too many reports of counterfeit cards going that way for me from both the 8i and 16i card varieties. You might also consider the 16e (the external type) as they are usually MUCH cheaper. But then you have to route cables back inside the case and it takes a different connector to the card. That is why I went with the internal - easier to use but more expensive variety. Another possibility for more money yet is a newer version that uses a 23xx+ chipset verses the 2116 of the 9201-16i. @johnnie.black might be able to give you an exact model number - I don't own any of those.

I like Tyan MBs (have several Tyan S5512 boards) up until I started using Dual processor ASRock MB most of my MBs were Tyan. Never used a Tyan case before so can't say about that.

If you are talking about the 9201-16i they are IT mode only cards so they are plug and play with unRAID. I have many I replaced most of my 8i with them because I can use fewer slots for HBAs allowing me to use other PCIe cards. I just plugged them in connected the drives/backplanes to them and booted unRAID and had a working system.

Sorry for the flip answer I just couldn't resist. Wish I could help you out with your problem but not something I can do i'm afraid.
