thanks. just finished the physical build of the HW, because of this with unRaid quickly got XPenology working, will see how this goes. Will still try and play with it in the VM G

ok, so i got to use the same stick that I created as a vhd, and configure it as usb as pass through ? G

hmmm, they want you to get a trial key via the web interface, the same one that I can't get working. G

I"m sure... looking at: https://lime-technology.com/getting-started/ Video clip Initial setup talks about installing key... this seem to imply after you've installed and started unRAID you then have to install a key, this implies there is a web interface or something up, otherwise I need to get the key/serial, prob copy it somewhere and then reboot which will then enable the network interfaces, looking/watching the video clip now. will advise. G

hmmm, to get to where I am, on MAC 1. Disk utility, erase 4GB USB and assign name UNRAID 2. uncompress unsaid distribution 3. copy all files from distribution to USB stick. 4. execute make bootable on MAC script. 5. transfer USB stick to windows machine and run winImage9 to make a vhd file - named unpaid.vhd. 6 create VM in virtual box, (copied this unpaid.vhd into folder structure, and made it disk 0) 7. ran VM, which kicked the installer off and well basically took me to a login prompt (non gui) or a web page login (gui) NOT STUCK. - what I miss where. G

hmmm, so ran the diagnostic command, got the zip file created under boot, but now what, i can't ftp, scp or anything to it, and remember this is a vm so the usb in this case is actually a vid file. G

So yes, This is a VM in virtual box, I'm trying to play with unRaid a bit before I build my NAS, in between unRaid and XPenology. I have 2 network cards/ports configured/assigned to the VM, 1 x bridged, with a specified MAC address, which is also configured/binded to a specified IP on my router and a 2nd port, simple NAT interface, not binded. my bridged interface should come up as 192.168.0.30, instead only one interface comes up in terminal br0 with ip 169.254.150.148 and this IP seem to change randomly with every reboot. Can post diagnostic file as I can't get onto the server, other than the terminal window opened as part of VirtualBox. where can I find the diagnostic file/information, maybe I can see something there. where's the network configs, there is no /etc/sysconfig or /etc/networks directories. G

I've opened terminal, done a ifconfig, got Ip and tried that via browser, no luck, think route is stuffed, but then the IP it's showing also don't match my DHCP ranged. How can I switch / change IP address via terminal. I've tried http://127.0.0.1, no luck. G

... update, I got it installed, and got to a login prompt For MAC: Steps. 1. Erase USB, label it UNRAID 2 Copy contents of OS distro to USB 3. execute make bootable scripts (this needs the USB to be called UNRAID) 4. Insert USB into Windows machine with WinImage9 installed, 4.1 Select disk at the top, go down to make image from physical disk, select relevant USB and make image, calling it anything... 5. copy to folder where VirtualBox VM will be stored, rename to unread.vhd 6. Boot... Worked. Want to retry, and select the gui option. G

Is there by any chance a example of this, unRaid on VirtualBox but for MAC. Problem #1, I've created the USB, I've created a .img, now to get that to a vdi... should be simple... I'd think. G

... thinking of build a VirtualBox VM tonight, wanna compare unRaid against some of the other options, well there is only 2 others really, FreeNAS and XPEnology. Any chance anyone has done a VM build and made it available to download ? G
