When you do the initial setup of unraid VM machine, you can't select the USB properties. Once finished in the new windows that appears with all the settings of this virtual machine you can clic under USB and add, in my case, a Kingston DataTraveller USB. (Before I was not doing that, I was seleccting a blank template). But like before... waiting for /dev/disk/by_label/UNRAID and /dev/disk/by_label/UNRAID not found ! I have tried the 3 types of USB with no luck. I don't know what else to try :-( Thankyou Gus

Yes sorry. added step 4.5 where I rename back to UNRAID my USB Stick. Wait, wait, how do you assign it to VM? I simply create a new blank usb filter... must I do anything else? Thankyou Gus

Good morning @itimpi let's see what I made wrong ;-) df ls /dev/?d? fdisk -l /dev/?d? Did you also make sure it was labelled as "UNRAID"? That is important for unRAID to pick it up. You also do NOT want the boot vmdk device to have the label UNRAID as it might confuse things. This is how I made it: 1 - Format USB memory with 2Tware Fat32Format 1.13 default values (windows didn't allow me to format a 64gb memory stick). After that tried with a 8GB memory stick but also formated with this program. 2 - Copied UNRAID 6.1.9 contents to that device (files and folders) and labeled UNRAID. Executed make_bootable.bat as admin, a dos window is open and press key to continue... syslinux.exe -maf F:... Completed (if you don't name it UNRAID make_bootable doesn't work) 3 - Renamed USB memory stick to UNHDD before making image. 4 - Open Winimage 9 as admin. Select Disk / Use removable disk F: . Select Creating Virtual Hard Disk image from physical disk... Select disk, hit ok and named UNHDD.vhd - Wait 10 min 4.5 - Renamed USB memory stick back to UNRAID 5- Virtualbox: 5.1: New 5.2: Name: UNRAID_6.1.9 Type: Linux Version: Other Linux (64bits) 5.3: Memory size: 2048 5.4: Hard disk: Use an existing virtual hard disk file / select UHDD.vhd (storage is on IDE Primary Master, tried SATA also) 5.5: Network: Bridged adaptor (Intel® 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection) (I suppose is my "real" ethernet adapter) Advanced: Adapter Type: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM) Promiscuous Mode: Deny Mac Address: xxxxxxxxxxxx Cable Connected: Yes 5.6: USB: Enable USB Controller: Yes USB 1.1 (OHCI) Controller Add new USB filter with all fields initially set to empty strings Start machine, blue screen with unraid options, load unraid, begin loading... but: Now I have realized that there's an error and it doesn't find UNRAID: I tought those 30sec was the time searching for USB stick after started loading from HD USB image. Does this give you any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thankyou Gus

Yes. Can you tell me what settings you have under VirtualBox \ File \ Preferences \ Network \ Host-only Networks\ VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter ? (My linux is null) I can do a ls /boot and get /config Formated to FAT32 before copying files to it. Thankyou Gus

No luck also with 6.2. Starting unraid in GUI mode, enter user "root" with no password and a blank "unable to connect" mozilla firefox browser pointing "localhost" . Gus

On the HOST machine I have a 192.168.1.100 FIXED IP. No idea where this 192.168.1.101 is? (I have rebooted a couple of times ;-) Btw I'm trying 6.2 GUI right now... let's see !!! Thankyou Gus

thankyou @itimpi for answer. At the moment I have only defined de IDE disk needed to install unraid in conjuntion with the usb. I will add the sata disks after. I'm trying 6.1.9. I'll try 6.2 GUI later. What I don't really understand is in the last screen capture when I ping from Host to unraid (192.168.1.12) I got a 192.168.1.101 destination host not reachable What is this 192.168.1.101 if I'm pinging 192.168.1.12? Thankyou Gus

I know this thread is old but I think better to maintain here than starting a new thread. I want to test UNRAID 6.1.9 (dockers, etc) on virtualbox (under windows) before applying to my "new" server. I'm also a new user and a little lost with so many new linux terms. I have setup a new virtualbox machine like this: I cant fire it up I can ping internet (google) And also I can ping HOST computer But I'm unable to access unraid through //tower nor 192.168.1.12 That's what I got when I ping unraid Can someone imagine what the problem is? Is there another way to test unraid under windows? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thankyou Gus
