Is this a dual cpu setup? Have you tried other pci slots? Have you updated bios? HP's are notorious for having compatibility issues unfortunately. Johnnie.Black's suggestion is probably the quickest. First narrow it down and make sure the card is good. From there work out the kinks with compatibility. Usually it can be solved, best of luck to you! Not exactly related, but others have mentioned certain slots (per cpu) as limitations, as well as bios being out of date. https://community.hpe.com/t5/ProLiant-Servers-ML-DL-SL/NMI-error-in-DL380p-GEN-8-when-P430-4GB-is-installed/td-p/7004175

Based on the documentation from broadcom/lsi/megaraid, they use the same firmware. They are all based on SAS2008. If it helps, this is the guide I followed, https://nguvu.org/freenas/Convert-LSI-HBA-card-to-IT-mode/ These instructions will not work on modern hardware with UEFI, you will need to find a newer tutorial, or do what I did.. pull out some old hardware, and flash using older hardware.

Do some research into IOMMU groups. You will need separate usb chipsets/controllers to pass through to each host. *most* motherboards have 2. The usb2, and usb3 are normally separate chipsets. If they are not separate, you will need an add-in card (15-30$ on amazon). Motherboard usb to 1 host, and add-in card to the second host. *There is a way to 'force' separation of IOMMU groups, but thats going down a rabbit hole, even experienced users can have issues with* *Side note @testdasi, has anyone gotten SLI working? Is it an IOMMU issue? Driver/host issue?* PM me if you want, as to not derail this thread

Just a tidbit to add.. those are theoretical limits of speed, not what you see in real life. A wireless bridge is your best option, connect the server room to the living room via wifi, and take all 4 of those ports from the wireless bridge and plug into unraid. Unraid handles LAG/LACP pretty well from my testing. *Do you have more then 1 ethernet port available to unraid?* A nice high end device you could look into are ubiquity devices.. but they are a bit pricey. That being said, after experiencing unify/UNMS and all the stuff that ubiquity uses, I wont ever look back.

Is it 7 gamers1cpu? or 8? or 10? 😂 Wendell to the rescue! This is good information though, and yes its best to just search the forums here. That being said, the cpu is still a bottleneck in this case. And you loose give or take 10% due to overhead anyway, so YMMV.

If you do plan on using NVME, I would choose a solid brand.. IE, samsung, corsair, intel.. something worth its salt. Didnt see the samsung in the first post.. Need coffee *EDIT* Also, be sure to edit the default 'mover' settings. By default IIRC, its once a day it moves files from the cache, to the array. 200-500 gigs fills pretty fast. Final note, NVME speeds can be in excess of 3gbps as seen with the samsung 970 pro. This can easily saturate most peoples arrays (7200 rpm = give or take 100-200 mbps per drive, and as this is UNraid, not raid, you don't get the benefit of striping across multiple drives (at least not in the same way) which can and will bring your array to a stuttering halt.) *look for sawtooth patterns in file copies as an identifier* Given a choice, I would use matching 2.5 inch ssd's in raid0 or 1, and save the NVME for something more useful. Dockers/VM's for example, might be a better choice, and not as bad on the r/rw iops. Final, Final note.. I wouldn't mix the 2 drives (nvme, sata) for a cache array. One is rated for 2000+ mbps, other is 750~ mbps. (Not that you would see a difference, both of them independently would probably saturate your entire array)

This issue is more related to IOMMU groups rather then the GPU itself. As long as you've got separate iommu groups, you should be able to pass 'any' gpu though to a host. Drivers are installed on the host as well. IOMMU groups are more dependent on the motherboard, not the peripherals attached to it. The issue I see (at least as your signiture indicates) is the older amd 8350. Most any newer card(gpu) will be bottlenecked by this cpu. Even the top dog of the socket 939/940 world (the amd 9590) is bottlenecked.. even at 5ghz. The issue isnt one of frequency, but instructions per cycle, also known as IPC.

A new cpu wont hurt, should be as simple as taking out the old, and putting in the new. (what socket are you running? 1151? 2011? 2011-v3? What mobo? I have to agree with the others here though first, ram is king, and you sir seem to be running short. 'Part' of the high cpu usage, could be the fact the system is moving and caching memory to make more space available, and this takes cpu cycles to accomplish.

A few points about plex HW transcoding.. its buggy at best. I use it.. and I disabled it. AMD cards as of writing this, are still not 'supported'. That being said, enabling HW transcoding seems to offload 'some' work to amd gpu's. Nvidia cards work, but only 1 HW transcode unless you've got a high end CAD card(non consumer/gaming), they seem to be able to handle give or take 10 transcodes. Transcoding 'is multhreaded', however it still prefers IPC over threads. A single i9 7xxx, or thread ripper still smashes even quad socket mobo setups. Same goes for gpu's.

This is very very similar to the one I am planning to build. I was gonna use the e5 2670's 2.8ghz, 20meg cache. What cooling solution do you plan on using? Do you have a pcpartspicker list you could post? Why the 612 and not the 612/4ld16? Does the extra PCI slot mean that much? Theres also a 100$ rebate on the d16. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ my list ***EDIT, hes got the ddr4 version of basically the same board im chosing**** The only thing that stands out, is the mobo. Its got a 64gb max of ram, and your going to be maxing it... ?Will you ever need more? If so, spend 10$ (at the time of writing this) and get the mobo with 16 ram slots instead of 8 See above edit.

Hey there er'body! Just wanted to get a sanity check over my 'new' build. Upgrading from my older gaming/workstation which was a i7 5820k with 32gb @ 3200. Board took a crap, and instead of just buying a new board (which I will probably anyway, and use for a different project) I wanted to take this opportunity and piece together a more 'enterprise-y' type build. While the 5820k is dead, i've got plex running from my current gaming machine, 6850k /w a 1060 6gb. Tidbits to add, my 5820k was my old gaming machine, and then my plex server. Currently I run a much older system for unraid, as it only really hosts my web related stuff, nginx, letsencrypt, ect. Its specs are an older i3 or i5 (2c4t, or 4c0t, not sure which) with 16gb @ 1600mhz. Drives are 4x4 500gb with double parity. I run 2 VM's, one arch one w7. Other services I host are pi-hole, youtube-dl server, nextcloud, unms, and a few more im probably missing. Other hardware have/laying around 4x gigabit quad intel adapter amd r9 380 4gb (Dont think plex uses amd cards.. i could be wrong) strix 1060 6gb (Plex uses this, but only 1 transcode via HW... stupid. ) lsi 9211-8i IR mode (Need help flashing IT mode, if anyone can assist with uefi, that would be awesome) several samsung 850's, 860's, and a few 950's even all 2.5 inch Raid is 6x6tb using toshiba x300's, very good performance per $ seemingly reliable. The case if anyone cares is a rosewill 4u that fits normal atx parts https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0056OUTBK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 One final goal/side note, would be is there any dockers anyone knows of that handle wifi? In the past i've ran pfsense, and had issues with routing, so I ended up just hosting an AP via windows, which worked pretty reliably. Is there anyway I can do this with unraid? Give me your 2 ¢ https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zDw8P3 Dual xeon e5's 2670 (16c32t), with 32gb @ 1333 A few questions to ask.. Does unraid handle multi cpu's well? My current unraid, can that just be removed, and slapped into this new build? Everything should 'just work' right? (I submitted my hardware profile via the gui, But I dont know how to link those details to this thread) Does unraid have any issues with OOB networking? IE, dedicated kvm style port? Does unraid handle multiple lans? I've got 4 on the new board, with 4 more via a quad port intel adapter pcie4x, can I utilize all these ports? My network is fairly beefy, 1000/1000 fiber, with ubiquity edge router and edge switch. Looking to make use of the over gigabit locally, not externally.

My apologies.. thats why editing Joe comes to the rescue, I tend to go back, re-think and collect my thoughts and present them in a more manageable view. Your not wrong, on any level, don't think that I think your wrong, 'cause your not..- Hell, I even agree this is not an ideal solution, but its a cheap (free) solution, and I try to keep up with monitoring S.M.A.R.T status. One thing I tend to watch is any drive over 15,000 hours. Instantly gets moved to the rear of the pile.. (yes.. all my drives are numbered lol...Bought a label maker.. never used it for anything else) For reference, heres an amazon link ( https://www.amazon.com/Vantec-3-5-Inch-External-Enclosure-NST-640SU3-BK/dp/B007XJIYI6 ) I've had 3 of these now, First one died due to backplain solder joints being crap. Second one .. I dont quite remember.. something stupid, fan maybe? Now ive got a third one, and have used the others for parts periodically. Again, totally not an ideal solution,...- Trust me I hear ya.

I beg to differ, but then again I don't know your previous experience that have lead you to this conclusion... The 320gb array I speak of, is housed in an external "raid box", believe its made by Vantec. The drives are swapped fairly frequently, at least I have swapped almost every 6 months (I now have roughly 30 drives, all 320gb, all the same replicated data. I very VERY rarely write any new data that I need to be saved, and when I do, I do it in batches. Mostly documents, some pictures, some videos. In case your wondering why 320gb? Well.. they were common to me. Between fixing ps3/xbox 360 and laptops, i've acquired quite a large mass of 320gb 2.5 inch drives. Again, I dont know your circumstances, but for me this has been quite reliable, and worst comes to worse, i've got several copies. I keep 2 in the bank in my safe deposit box, 2 I buried in shatter proof containers with silicon seals, and ive got random ones around the house and garage. (EDITING JOE: Dont bury hard-drives.. Watched a youtube.. got the idea.. tried it.. I went back and revisited that same youtuber, who unburied about a year later, and the drives were completely trashed. ) As for the PSU, its easy to replace. Standard 12v 2amp barrel DC jack. As for a fire, again, multiple places. As for versions/revisions, I dont bother. If for some reason I edit.. lets say passwords.docx, I make a new file called passwords2.docx. I keep all originals, and new copies. Again, this is my solution, and it works for me.. Im not concluding everyone go out and do what Ive done.. probably not the 'best' idea.. but it works for me. Actual data size.. maybe 100gb. tops. I could easily burn a few BR's, or even high density flash drives. But since 2007 when I started this, now 2018... I feel I've done a good job, and not lost a single document/picture.

NVME is onboard, running on pcie lanes, direct to cpu. My board doesn't have PCH or w/e that other chipset alternative that x79 used... Also, I believe I've identified either an issue, or hardware incompatibility. Remember the other day unraid kept freezing for me? Its doing it again. It happens at a very specific time, and its repeatable. Even on a fresh brand new install. When I mount the NVME with unassigned devices and go to start copying files off, it eventually just hard-locks. Console cursor still blinking, but network drops, and no longer accepts any input. Tail log stays empty. I believe this is solely the cause of my issues. I started to narrow it down one by one, and this is the only thing causing hang-ups. The add-in cards haven't given me any issues actually, and based on a little research on the forums the marvell chipset is well supported via linux and freebsd. I really want to use unraid, but im having so many issues I really don't know its worth it. - Im not giving up yet, but I need my media to be a) safe and secure and b) which i think is more important, usable. I knew going into this the server I built was probably to new, and too consumer to be fully utilized, so I don't blame limetech whatsoever. Ill drag out my dell r7 server and throw it on there in the mean time, at the very least I still need to get my array(s) in order.

Im probably just going to import it as a foreign array on my computer. This is the easiest. As for backup... ehh.. im not worried. My important data is separate from this server, in a 4drive box with esata/usb3. single 320gb replicated across all 4. This is just media, and replaceable media at that. Granted.. it would suck to have to do it, It would also give me a chance to fix previous mistakes. I truly find the best way to learn, is to break it... at least when it comes to *nix. Ill get there eventually, for me its not a race, but a chance to learn and grow.

If it helps, heres the full URL ' http://192.168.1.108/Apps/AddContainer?xmlTemplate=default:/tmp/community.applications/tempFiles/templates-community-apps/329.xml ' Im going to go with SSD's suggestion, and just start fresh. I added quite a few drives, played around, had crashes, and other nonsense, at this point I just want to start clean.

This is what I was looking for, thanks. By rename... you mean ... delete... right? Heh. (This is EDITING joe, ... and this is a bad idea. Your key is here stupid) I have a 256gb nvme m.2 onboard, as well as a 120gb crucial ssd (older, 200-300 mbps, not 500mbps) Would you agree in making the nvme my 'cache' and my 120gb ssd the VM drive? I prefer to have my dockers and apps running as fast as robotic-ally possible. The VM's dont need the iops and I only plan to run 1 or 2, and just want a 'responsive' vm.

ELI5. Reboot the server...? Or? Is there a specific button to refresh the apps? You say the /AddContainer is impossible... heres how im getting it. Dashboard > apps > type 'plex' into the magnifier glass > click download on the plex (linuxserver) and this is what pops up.

@Darksurf @CCNB Could you provide a video clip maybe of the boot sequence? Or maybe the .log (if exists). Any updates as to this yet? Other OS's seem to work, is that correct?

The my-plex.xml file is corrupt on the flash drive (full path to it in that first error line) delete it Okay, new error now..? http://prntscr.com/idw01u

Queenie looks fantastic so far. Might I add a small addition of constructive criticism? Your hotspot is now turned in its side, in a non optimal configuration. -However, you are using small (3-5db im guessing) omni directional antennas. Three of these bad girls (link below) would greatly improve signal, as well as coverage area, and as an added benefit, they are magnetic. I use 4 placed in roughly a 10x10ft square and I get wireless (from my basement) on the next road over. In the house, im getting well over 300mbps in just about any room. +1 this. Even if you get a small 100$ special from bestbuy/staples/whatever at least get the network protected, and ideally, the computer as well. If not for the UPS/battery backup at the very least you get surge protection. https://www.amazon.com/Gadgets-World-FBA_ALFA-ARSN19M-OMNI-Directional-High-Gain/dp/B0039ORBLK/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1518478516&sr=1-5&keywords=wifi+antenna

Okay... So at this point, I just want to do a fresh install. I know ive got new, good drives. I want to remove all old configs and settings from me testing and playing. What do I need to do?

My drives showed up in the mail 2 days early, so im starting now. I did a clean config, and removed all my old array devices. The array only consists of new drives at the moment. Right now.. I tried to add plex, and get started.. and it gives me this error http://prntscr.com/idv0qu Ideas?

Thanks for the response. The current array is software, made with windows (disk management). It currently lives in the same server, But I know I can easily move the array and import to another machine, had to do it once before when I had a stick of ram fail.
