  1. @suppa-men Sorry for the late response. Did not see a notification for the message. anyway, I fixed my issue by getting a different HBA card. My original card failed so had to get a new one. The new one does not have the issue of the old where a drive would spin down only to spin up minutes later. My only guess is that the old card has a bug in it...... but that is a guess. Model I got of ebay: Dell PERC H310 SAS Card PCIe LSI 9211-8i 2x Internal Ports
  2. Thanks @SpencerJ I will get on to buying it now.
  3. Hello Unraid Team, Hope everyone is well. I currently already have one server set up and running. I now want to add a 2nd as a back up to my first. I have started a 30 day trial under the same username as my original server (same account logged into the forums) but when I choose to purchase a new licence the system is adding in another of my email address' and not the email address I have for Unraid. How can I make sure I am using the correct account when purchasing the new licence please or does it not matter? Many thanks
  4. I have been having this issue since moving to my new server and using a HBA card for the first time. Old Gne 8 micro I did not have this issue. I have a HP H240 it is on latest patch from HP and in the correct mode. I have checked that nothing is being read via the FileActivity tool and nothing on my drives is being read when the disks spin back up. I have also shut down dockers running etc and removed the Fan speed change add on that people said was spinning up disks (not that it worked on my motherboard) .... Is there any fix for this or any trouble shooting done by Unraid devs to help? I see this mentioned on multiple threads on the forums but without an actual answer. Well one person changed their HBA card and it stopped the spin ups. Not sure which card they went to but they had a HP card as well..... could it be card related? Any help appreciated.
  5. Hi @malleyc Long time since you posted I know but hopefully you are still about... Which HBA card did you change to please? What make of power plug are you using to get the detail in your screen shot ? thanks
  6. Dragging this back up I am afraid. I have been having this issue since moving servers. Has anyone proved or disproved that there is an issue with HP HBA cards not staying spun down via Unraid? I sometimes see one or two of the drives stay spun down longer than the others but eventually they all come spinning back to life. I have checked the File Activity add on and nothing is happening on my server disk wise. I have 4 SATA and one SAS connected to my HP H240 card. Even the SAS drive does not stay spun down via the SAS spin down add on. It spins down find but also gets reactivated like the SATA ....but does tend to stay spun down longer than the SATAs. I am hoping I don't have to get a new HBA card to fix this issue. With the cost of electricity now having these drives spun down will save me a few bob over the year. Any help appreciated.
  7. Thanks @wgstarks and @trurl for your responses. From what I am reading I can have the mover shift my files from a 'music' cache pool to the array and then bring them back to the cache. This would allow me to keep my music protected by the array but have it on a cache pool for no spin up of mechanical drives when using plexamp. Would that mean that the mover (going from its name) will move the files each time from the array to my 'music' cache pool... so the files are no longer on the array... so if I lost a drive for whatever reason on the array my music on the cache pool would not actually be on the array ..... BUT if i lost the 'music' cache pool drive it would not be on the array to rescue back as it had been moved off the array by the mover app... Or am i reading too much into it?
  8. Hi All, Not wanting to hijack someone else's thread, but this is something I have been thinking about recently but just for my music collection. I use Plexamp a lot. Currently ripping all my CD's and any others I can find in charity shops ect to build my own Notify.... Thing is I dont want all my disks spinning up when I ask Plexamp to use Time Travel Radio (as an example) and it picks some songs I put on my server say last year.... If they were all on a SSd / NVME drives I would not need to worry..............BUT, how do I make sure they are protected (I understand the array is not backup working on that via another unraid box) by Unraid as part of array? My limited knowledge of Cache is that the info (if you choose) will after X days be moved to the array. How would that work if I wanted music on SSD permanently? Thanks in advance...
  9. Thanks for the response. I have turned off all dockers, removed most apps (the fan one, temp one, sleep etc) and still get the issue. I will check the file activity app and see what may be triggering all drives but one to spin back up. Will update with my results. Thanks again
  10. Update Eventually got a chance to look at this. Tried the edit method first and this stopped me seeing the server entirely. So removed the flash, removed the network config, reinstated flash and booted up. Server back 9nline with new IP and when I check no message telling me more than one IP Many thanks for your help.
  11. I have been having this issue but with my SATA drives. I have 4 SATA and one SAS all off the same HBA card. This 'app' actually keeps my SAS spun down it is only my SATA's that are getting spun back up with the same SMART trigger. Could it be a HBA issue with Unraid? I am no expert in any of this by the way. I entirely rely on the forums and great vids on youtube to set up my Unraid.

  12. I will check this later. Many thanks!
  13. Hi, Subject: Multiple NICs on the same IPv4 network I have recently moved my server to new hardware and gone from 2 NICS to 1 NIC. I now keep getting an error telling me I have Multiple NICs on the same IPv4 network. The help post told me to post a new entry in this topic..... Full message: Multiple NICs on the same IPv4 network ---- eth0 and eth1 both have IP addresses on the 192.168.0.0 network. This is rarely a valid configuration. Diagnostic download is attached. Many thanks in advance for your help theentertainer-diagnostics-20220802-2251.zip
  14. This post just helped me stop banging my head against the wall as to why my Unraid would not boot after a shut down unless I moved the USB stick to another port..... Many thanks!! Blinkin Fast Boot!! Who would have thought it
  15. I downloaded the HP240 boot program to one get it up to date on firmware and then to put it in HBA mode. This was before I put it in the unraid box. I am not sure now how to tell if it is in HBA mode to double check. Is it possible in Unraid or do I need to pull it and put it in another box? thanks for your help by the way.
