For anyone else that may come across this thread, the main issue when you don't know your array positions is the parity drives. Simply put all your drives in the array, position doesn't matter. Then you will have one or two drives which say they need formatting, these are your parity drives, record the drives, stop the array, go to tools, new config, select all to keep settings, then go back to your array setup and set those drives as the parity.

All sorted, unraid support got back to me with a new key. Amazingly even with a fresh unraid install on a new usb key. Shares and dockers are just working. All the main features, are back up. Just have to mess around with config later on. No I didn't backup. Lesson learnt.

So USB was dead, replaced it with a new one and then went to replace key and accidentally typed the wrong email address in, now there is no other solution other than to wait for support to answer? This is poor. How do they not have an online portal for managing keys.

Looks like my USB boot drive has failed, I need to do some further testing, but reading the wiki it says to create a post if I didn't know my array order before the failure.

Just installed an LSI 9211-8i and didn't have a problem flashing it to IT mode, but not receiving any temp data and it says bad missing sense data on the console output. My setup is a dell t610, with the LSI9211-8i connected to a 8 drive sas back plane. Anyone had same experience? EDIT: After pulling one of the sas drives out and installing a sata drive, the ability to spin down and view temps is available. Does unraid not properly support SAS drives or are these abilities not available for SAS drives?
