  1. Hello, I've got an Unraid server that I'm suspecting has a bad motherboard.  It turns on for a few seconds then shuts down.  Did some troubleshooting a while back and my best determination was that it was a mobo issue.  

     

    With that in mind, is there a good doc / instructional somewhere that might address moving an existing Unraid server to new hardware?  I've seen some threads where people are doing this but thread usually revolves around an issue they're running into.  And often times diagnostics are requested from the prior/old server (which I won't have).  Any first step suggestions?

    I don't see any 10TB disk connected there's one 8TB but it's connect to a USB port:

     

    
    Device Model:     WDC WD80EMAZ-00WJTA0
    Serial Number:    7SGLR2PC
    LU WWN Device Id: 5 000cca 252c88197
    Firmware Version: 83.H0A83
    User Capacity:    8,001,563,222,016 bytes [8.00 TB]

     

    Ah shucks you're right.  I didn't realize that the USB attached drive (which happens to be the same kind of drive as the one I shucked and am trying to install) shows up as an option for the array disks.  

     

    Looks like I'll have to try out that kaplon tape.   Thanks @johnnie.black

    Please post diags with the 10TB connected.

    Posted.

    For Unraid to recognize a new drive, the array must be stopped and the GUI needs to be refreshed after the drive is added (hot swappable).

    Or power down the system, add the new drive and power up the system. It should show the new drive. There are no limitations for 10 TB drives (or larger).

     

    The symptoms I posted were done using the power down approach.

  4. So I shucked a couple of WD EasyStore drives to use for my server - one 8TB from 2017 and one 10TB from 2019.  Here's what I did:

     

    1. I first plugged in the 8TB and it was recognized with no issue.
    2. I then proceeded to put in the 10TB but that was not recognized.
    3. I have an ASRock E3C224 which has 6 SATA3 slots - 4 by Intel and 2 by Marvell. The 8TB went on the last remaining Intel slot and the 10TB went on a Marvell slot.
    4. Thought maybe the Marvell slot is not configured or not working or something ... so I swapped the SATA cable from the 8TB to the 10TB.  
    5. UNRAID recognizes that a drive is there, but says it's 8TB.

     

    So the questions that pop up are

    1. Is there some sort of limiter that's only allowing 8TB?
    2. Is UNRAID caching the presence of the 8TB I first put in? The drive ID value is the same no matter which drive I put in.

     

    Anyone with experience or thoughts?

     

    Thanks!

  5. I would suggest installing Dynamix for version 5 (It provides a GUI that has the 'look-and-feel' of ver 6). See Here:

    For apcupsd for version 5, see here:

     

      http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=29605.0

     

     

    Dynamix was the first place I went to look when trying to install this.  But it doesn't have the apcupsd as part of it's collection of plugins (unless I'm missing something).  Unless that was just in regards to my comment of using unMenu.

     

    So far I tried to install a version of the apcupsd plugin via unMenu but not successful so far.  I'll see where the above thread leads me.

     

     

     

     

  6. Note that in the latest v6betas apcupsd is built-in so no plugin required.

     

    You already linked to the official docs for apcupsd. You will actually be setting it up in the unRAID webGUI so that also guides you somewhat. Just try it and I think you can figure it out.

     

    It gets a little more interesting (but not difficult) if you try to link an additional PC to it over the network like some of us have done.

     

    I think I found a thread that mentioned that.  However, I'm still using 5.05.  I forget why, but I recall reading something that made me think that an upgrade to 6 was not for me. 

     

    As a casual user, I usually just use the normal web GUI but turns out I needed to go to UnMenu to really get to the meat of things.  Not exactly the most friendly of interfaces but I can manage.  Still think this might warrant a blog "how-to" post.  I haven't found things very easy to find.

  7. I'm slowly getting into adding a UPS (and by slowly I mean I just plugged it in, lol). 

     

    From what I've gathered, there's only one plugin - apcupsd - that we have which will work with a variety of UPS.  Are there any "dummy" guides out there in terms of how to get things set up? 

     

    If not, perhaps I may go about writing something and sharing later, but ideally there's already one.
