  1. If you are using E3C224D2I Motherboard, what is your power consumption?

     

    Unfortunately E3C224D2I motherboard does not support S3 sleep mode so I can't use the plugin like Dynamix S3. I am trying find a way to reduce the wattage when my unraid server is idle 90% of the time. The E3C224D2I only support S4 sleep mode.

     

    With all the disks spinned down (with IBM ServeRAID M1015 Controller), my power consumption is 40 Watts which is still high when my server is idle most of the time.

     

    I actually don't need IBM ServeRAID M1015 Controller anymore and could use motherboard sata ports directly.  How much watts would that reduce to?

     

    I am using Xeon CPU E3-1230v3 CPU which is quite powerful which I don't need anymore. Is it worth to downgrade the CPU to mid range so it may reduce the wattage? 

     

  2. I am testing out Cache pool for the the first time

     

    First SSD: 250GB

    Second SSD: 120GB

     

    It is showing I have 185GB size, how does that work?

    For me it was a easy as removing the ESXi datastore drive and USB boot flash and setting the unRAID boot flash as the boot device and booting the computer.  I had all my drives connected to passed through HBAs for unRAID and they were left in the computer.  I did have to setup my Windows VM from scratch on unRAID as a VM but if you only have unRAID as a VM then to get to unRAID bare metal it should be as simple as I stated.

     

    I have been using PLOP to boot up unraid on ESXi host.

     

  4. I have been using VMWare ESXi host with unraid VM for a while. I would like to remove VMWare ESXi and unraid will be the main host.  How do I proceed that to migrate it? 

  5. Unraid 6.2

     

    My Array is down, it is showing the disks are missing. All the disks are connected to IBM ServeRaid M1015 SAS/SATA PCIe RAID card.

     

    When I restart the server, the BIOS can see a Raid controller and all the hard disks are listed..

     

    How to fix this?

  6. A feature of Real-time cache to array support would be awesome, in other word - real time mover.

     

    Basically in the share setting, we enable cache "Use cache disk" to Yes and have another field called "Real-time Mover".

     

    If "Real-time Mover" set to Yes:

     

    1. Copy a file to array Share

    2. It get stored on the cache disk

    3. unRAID somehow detect if a file is successfully copied and then instantly move to Array.

     

  7. I have notice potential new customers asking some questions about unRAID in Lounge form.

     

    It would be better to create a form called Pre-Sales Questions with a description:  Question before you purchase? Post here and get help from both Lime Technology and from other clients. You can also email [email protected] for assistance.
