[Help running OVA on Unraid]

PS: from this blog if you open there xml you can see that they use ide controller for the disk emulation.

 

ilarion has the right idea. you will need to set the disk controller to IDE.

 

along side this I had the following set in my template (Unraid GUI)

 

Machine: i440fx-5.1

Bios: SeaBIOS

Primary vDisk: manual and set to the qcow2 you extracted

Primary vDisk Bus: IDE

Graphics Card: VNC

Network Model: vertio-net

I have set up a few CE installs on Unraid without too much issue. Feel free to ask additional Q's

[pfSense VM on a Ryzen 5 5600X = fatal trap 12]

Same issue here unfortuantly - same failiure at the same point. I have used the FreeBSD / Linux and Custom templates. I have attempted with unraid 6.8.3 and 6.9.1

 

5600x with a x470 mobo.

 

I have tried altering the bus type of the ISO and of the guest's disk. I have used the same ISO's as you (checked the sha265) with and without NIC's. I have allocated 1 core (not CPU0) and multiple cores.

 

If I remove my unraid USB stick and try the pfsense ISO burnt to a USB drive I manage to reach the setup screen.

 

Your screen recordings nifty - I will have to figure out how you did that!

 

 

After some forum searching Im going to hop from here.....

 

 

[Additional Scripts For User.Scripts Plugin]

I have started to use this script to output my directory structure to a text file and it seems to do what I expect.

 

Could I ask for some assistance to send the contents (log files) to an email address when complete?

 

 

I currently have the system emailing me alerts (such as preclear) and hoping to tie into that function if possible.

 

Suggestions would be very welcome!

I started this a few months ago, but never got around to really optimizing it and rotating out old listings or compressing them. But hopefully it'll give you a starting point!

 

 

#!/bin/sh

DISKS=8
COUNTER=1
THEDATE=`date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S"`
LOCATION="/boot/trees"

echo " "
echo " "
echo "Starting tree scanning"

while [ $COUNTER -le $DISKS ]
do
echo "Scanning tree for disk$COUNTER/Movies"
tree -h /mnt/disk$COUNTER/Movies >> "$LOCATION/$THEDATE.movies.log"
echo "Scanning tree for disk$COUNTER/TV"
tree -h /mnt/disk$COUNTER/TV >> "$LOCATION/$THEDATE.tv.log"
echo "Incrementing disk counter"
COUNTER=$[$COUNTER+1]
done
echo "Scanning tree for cache/Movies"
tree -h /mnt/cache/Movies >> "$LOCATION/$THEDATE.movies.log"
echo "Scanning tree for cache/TV"
tree -h /mnt/cache/TV >> "$LOCATION/$THEDATE.tv.log"
echo "All done scanning disks. Beginning scanning shares."

[(SOLVED) Preclear fail on two separate drives]

Attempted to run a memtest over night - The version I used seems to have a bug in the SMP module and froze after a short time. This meant I missed out on memtest'ing over night

 

More details over at this Reddit post

 

I decided to throw the disks in another machine and added a third as a test. One is still carrying out the preclear (the Disk 1 USB3 drive) but the other two in a different unRAID box both failed!

 

Hmmmm

[(SOLVED) Preclear fail on two separate drives]

Hello!

 

After some advice.

 

I have been running unRAID for around 9 months now and have come around to upgrading two disks in the system.

Disk 1 is a USB3 drive which contains a 6TB hard disk. I plan to shuck this drive after a successful pre-clear.

Disk 2 is a SATA SSD which I plan to put in a two drive cache setup. This drive replaces a previous disk that utilised the same controller port / sata cable

 

The Disk 1 (USB3 drive) has just failed a preclear at stage 5 which is Post-Read verification. Spooked me at first but that's why we preclear right! I ensured that the USB3 cable was away from any interference and have kicked it off again.

 

Whilst this drive is attempting its second preclear I kicked off the same on Disk 2 (sata SSD) which also failed at the Post-Read verification. At this point I'm getting even more worried.

 

I understand that there is a chance that both drives are unfit along with a chance that there is a system issue (eg RAM related)

 

I'm planning on performing a memtest (which will take the array off line) but would appreciate any other suggestions.

 

 

Thanks
