I have never run any VM software and just read the wiki article (long) on ESXi and am probably more confused than when i started. I am planning and building a new unraid server and had a few questions that im confident that the community can answer. Here goes: Final Setup 1. unRaid server - media storage + more (see below) 2. raspberry pi running plex at each TV 3. be able to run multiple HD streams at the same time (max 3 streams) Final goal for unraid sever: 1. hold media (movies/tv/music/pictures) (i know it will do this -- currently running a standard 4.7 box) 2. run as plex sever (saw that the plugin is available for 5.X) 3. be able to download torrents automatically via RSS feed / monitoring a dropbox folder -currently accomplished via a separate windows box. 4. run theRenamer to auto rename files to plex recognized format -currently accomplished on same windows box 5. run plex client to watch view unraid media (not absolutely necessary -- would run plex from raspberry pi) -currently accomplished on same windows box ---------------------------------------------------------------- Final Setup Questions what is the most important component to allow for 3 HD streams for the unraid box -im guessing CPU? (intel i5/i7/xeon) and probably RAM I would like to get rid of the separate windows box if possible. unraid server questions Are points 3-5 possible to accomplish? would i need to use ESXi or VM? Can i boot unraid from flash and windows (if needed) from a dedicated disk at the same time? Thanks for all your help and im sorry if this is similar to other threads (didnt seem to find anything that answered all my questions)

Reposting -- does anyone know where that command goes.. i replaced the last line which was the line to open the pms file with the echo and that didnt seem to work. Thanks! This may be a dumb question, but does that line go at the end of the "go" file? Or does it replace a a specific line of the ps3ms section of the "go" file? Thanks again

Ok since I didn't seem to get any help with mediatomb I went the ps3mediaserver route. It seems to be working bc I startup the unraid box and I can browse my shares and play video from my xbox360. So the issue now is when it starts up i never get to the tower login prompt and the screen keeps displaying "sending alive". I can login via the web manager but I can't stop the server or get to the powerdown. Thanks in advance if you know what I need to change/fix this

Hi all, Still very much an UnRAID newbie looking for help on getting the xbox to see the unraid server (assuming i need UPnP). I followed steps 1-4 from this post http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=3532.0 (i didnt think i needed to do the rest for international characters -- maybe im wrong). I am running unraid 4.7 and my other machine is osx details: I downloaded the mediatomb static binaries for i836 -- extracted -- copied the mediatomb folder to the flash drive (/volumes/UNRAID) -- added the "cd /boot/mediatomb echo "./mediatomb.sh" | at now + 1 minute" to the go folder using textedit -- put the flash drive back in the server and booted it up -- I couldn't get the the mediatomb settings http://unraid-servers-ip:49152/ (tried ports 49152-49160) and I couldnt see the box from the video files area on the xbox either. Any help is much appreciated! if this is in the wrong area to post this let me know. Thanks

Thank you all so much i have logged into the unRaid box

ok -- glad we are on the right track however new issue when i run the e2label /dev/sda1 UNRAID command i get "bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda1 couldnt find valid filesystem superblock" any ideas? should i remake the unRaid flash drive and use just UNRAID Thanks

ahhhh i see.... i think we are close to fixing this did the command s -l /dev/disk/by-label Results: root@Tower:/boot# ls -l /dev/disk/by-label total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 21 22:01 UNRAID47 -> ../../sda1 FYI made the flash drive/unRaid bootable via http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=USB_Flash_Drive_Preparation#MacOS_X_-_Windows_-_Linux

Sorry to be a pain but i booted into unRaid -- logged in using root -- typed the command: cp /var/log/syslog /boot/syslog.txt the command didnt give any errors -- took the flash drive out of unRaid box and put into mac -- cant see or find a syslog.txt anywhere. Thanks for the quick replies and help

thanks for the suggestion (i use a mac) and there was a network.cfg file that had what you had written in it. this is probably very easy to do but how do i get a syslog from the unraid box. Thanks

All I am a first time unRAID builder and got an old machine im trying to use unRAID on but can not seem to get unRAID to get an ip address I know this isnt the best build (nForce4 has issues) but i got all (including HDs) of it for $100 so i thought it would be worth a shot. I think my flash drive is good because it boots to unraid and i get to login using root. (no hang ups on bzroot/bzimage) Build: Case: Antec Super LanBoy. Power Supply: Season S12 430W modular design. Motherboard: Asus A8N-SLI. AMD Socket 939 CPU: AMD Athlon 3500+ CPU cooler: Zalman. CNPS7500-AlCu. Graphics card: Nvidia 7900GT. Memory: 1 GB DDR. 2 sticks of 512MB each. 2 open slots on motherboard for memory expansion. Hard Drive: 80 GB SATA. Seagate Barracuda model ST380811AS. 2 TB WD20EARS SATA Optical drive: DVD-ROM IDE. Sony model DDV1615. Card reader: 3.5”/memory card reader combo. Floppy drive is not hooked up. Card reader is hooked up. I know there are 2 ethernet ports on the the MB. I have in the BIOS disabled one (left the Marvell Youkon on). I know the port works because if i boot into windows i have connectivity. I also have a PCI realtek ethernet in there from an old dell machine -- i know this works as well (again works in windows) i have tried disabling both onboard LANs and using this and no dice. at a complete loss for what to try or do now, and hoping the fourms can help (pleeeese) I have taken some pictures of various screens (ipconfig in windows / bios settings / unraid login / ifconfig via unraid) to see if it helps http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/19041/1/unRaid%20pics%20help?h=7ea9b5 Thanks Travis
