Was there a change to this, I followed instructions but it wont boot with the added config information.

Can I get a 6.2 release vdmk? Thanks

I appreciate that, nothing with plop would ever work, did the vdmk, working like a dream now. Appreciate everyones help

Thanks guys I really appreciate the help, I will post back with my results.

Personally, I don't think so. I use a 200MB VMDK. It boots insanely fast, and only reads the config from the flash drive. The only "gotcha" is you have to copy the updated unraid files over to the VMDK when you upgrade. Unassigned Devices makes this VERY easy! How exactly does this work? Do you still need to have the usb drive in?

Is plop still the best way to go? I will post all the info you asked for when i get home from work. Thanks

Yes, when I open console it says log in, i ran ifconfig, got an ip, tried going to it and nothing.

Got some brand new hardware, except my unraid config is the same. Reinstalled unraid 6.2rc5 alone on the new server hardware, everything worked great(had to rebuild parity drive tho which took 18 hours) Installed Esxi 6 update 2, created a VM with pass-through of my raid controller with plop as the iso. Plop autoboots unraid and loads unraid, but I cannot manage it at all. I tried making a Windows VM and tried to manage it via the ip of unraid there, and I still could not. Am I doing anything wrong? Can someone possibly point me in the right direction? Thanks

One is for the management switch, other 4 are for the 4 separate nic's with public static ip's. I'm testing this all locally first, I'm very familiar with pfsense, although I am not a fan. I am going to setup both guests, I just received my lsi raid controller I need to flash to IT mode, I hope I do not lose my data from the unraid I am migrating from.

I have 4 nic's and 4 separate network drops as an option. My main use will be for plex.

Dare I say PfSense in esxi? That's my only other thought. I really want to get this to work, is there any personal recommendations you have on something similar to software raid that I could also use as a virtual host in a data center environment?

So would you suggest my best route is ESXi pass thru? As you said "Unraid is not designed to do what you have proposed." I really want to be able to use unraid at a data center. Also the reason for data center move is my atrocious internet options where I live. ESXi was my original plan to begin with, however with 6.2 hypervisor changes, I really just wanted to stick to Unraid

I have been using Unraid for quite sometime now, recently I bought a lot of new hardware so I can use unraid as a virtual host. My main question is, this all works GREAT locally at home, but I am going to be dropping this off in a datacenter an hour away. I will have ipkvm access, but will there be an easier way for me to manage this like how I can normally just type /tower in my browser at home? Just to add unraid will have a static IP at the datacenter.
