@StevenD Your storage hardware makes me smile.

ESXI is fussy with what USB drives you use. I failed to install it twice with older drives. Try adding it this way if you haven't already. Here's what you want to pick up: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077Y149DL/ref=twister_B078VKF48F?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.ostricher.com/2012/09/setting-up-unraid-vm/ This is the guideline I used to get it going. What issues are you facing?
-
Quick update: All is well :). Finally went through a full parity check and UnRaid is running better than it ever has. It goes to show any 'old hardware' does not beat a decommissioned enterprise level server. Of course it I'm such a dummy.

Life can be beautiful sometimes. Time to move my servers into the basement -- this R730xd IS LOUDDD with 5 drives in it.

@doron So scared! Booting for the first time w/ production USB & drives installed. Sorry for the lack of responses. I've been mounting plywood & 6u network rack in my closet, running 2 lines of CAT6a to each room of my house, with an epic cable management tray in my attic & over-the-top sch40 6" PVC leftovers through the ceiling :). DOH. I don't have my ESXI's vlan setup properly on my R730XD. Edit: Patch Panel fail.
-
Alright. So, my unraid server finally stayed up long enough to do a full parity check with zero errors. I turned off autostart, took some screenshots of it's current configuration, and am taking it down now for the transplant! Wish me luck.
-
Thanks man. Is there an easy way to keep my old array with a new copy of the installer? I'd ideally like a fresh clean start, without losing my data. I can't even remember all of the customizations and tweaks I've tried over the years and forgot about.

Hello! I began my journey with UnRaid 3-4 years ago, with a crappy old AMD desktop and zero working knowledge of networking, storage or virtualization. Aside from the obvious, this OS opened my eyes and fueled an ever-expanding homelab and desire to learn... while slowly draining my bank account :). Here's where I am: - R730XD LFF, running Dell's custom ESXI 7.0 iso - Crossflashed H330 Mini to HBA330 Mini - Unraid VM configured & tested with: - HBA330 Mini direct passthrough - Unraid Trial > USB Flash Drive direct passthrough - Unraid WebGUI works great, added Unassigned Drives(+) Plugin - Successfully added a 850 Evo 250gb & a 2.5" 10k SAS Drive - Formatted / mounted one as unassigned drive - Created a 1 drive array w/ other, formatted and mounted it - SMB Shares are working swimmingly and all seems to be well How can I "safely" dismount my existing & nearly full 20tb array from an older rig and transfer it into this virtualized state? Are there any other things I need to check within Unraid to ensure I have a successful move? Am I missing anything??? All and any feedback welcome! Thanks -bmilcs

Converting to Pure NAS Only : Low Power Build or Underclock?
bmilcs replied to bmilcs's topic in Motherboards and CPUs
I want to have optimal drive throughput and read/writes, but beyond that, low power is clutch. Thank you for the suggestions. -
I believe I'm in the clear. Everything seems to check out. Can you take a look and review my final diagnostics? - I regularly get the 'my CPU may be running at 100% 24/7' message via Fix Common Problems (which would explain 123W while idle right now) - Any other issues worth fixing? unraid-diagnostics-20200218-1437.zip

Quite possibly. Before I posted, I double checked all my cables. I am guilty of having my case open. I've been testing several old SATA hdd's using unassigned drives.

After running xfs repair again w/o -L, the Unmountable Disk Error disappeared and I was able to begin a rebuild. Here's current diagnostics. unraid-diagnostics-20200218-0609.zip
-
Running a Parity-Sync/Data-Rebuild. Wish me luck.
-
Ran it again without -L:

Results of -L xfs and new diagnostics unraid-diagnostics-20200217-1928.zip

*Ding*. Sorry. I'm a jerk.
-
I was scurred. I tried running it without any arguments as -L sounds like impending doom... "may cause corruption". Running it now w/ -L.
-
Alright. I am able to now mount and unmount the array successfully. However, this error is persisting, even after remounting the array in normal mode.
-
If I go ahead and mount the file system, I'll be unable to unmount it and rerun the repair. :X Edit: I think I know what's causing the issue. I recently created a User Script to do a syslog tail to the array. Could that be the issue? Disregard. Fixed the issue.
-
-
Apologies. I thought that's what was requested of me: "Tools, diagnostics, attach the zip file to your next post." I ended up doing just that. Thank you. Are the results of the xfs repair sent to a log file for me to post? Should I run it in verbose mode w/o -n to repair it?

I have mapped network drives on a Windows machine. i've tried disabling my ethernet card on it for a min or so, and it still doesn't unmount.
