    Dirty Shutdown - 6.12.6

    in General Support

    Posted · Edited by kingtony911

    Hey Everyone,

     

    I was checking on my backup server last night, and noticed it unresponsive. Flipped to the server monitor, normally on the unraid gui login, but it was on a linux terminal screen and the last line was "TERM"? i believe/think... , Keyboard non responsive.

     

    Hard power down, and powered up.

     

    Powered up fine, diagnostics attached, from shortly after power up.  

     

    Parity is still running now (8 hours later) and i have 1 error already, about 60% done. 

     

    1. I know i had a dirty shutdown, i assumed i might have errors, first time with error in years! 

    2. help me understand why it died? - i looked at the logs and didn't find anything, but you'll are smarter then me!

    3. Its a back up server, that gets night copy from my main, how worried should i be of 1 or 2 errors? - Yes I know any more then 0 is bad! 

     

    Happy Sunday!
     

    Thank you for any advice!

    Parity Errors - Power Outage

    in General Support

    Posted

    Hey Unraid Team,

     

    Thanks for all you do!

     

    Recently had some bad storms and a power outages. Found out my servers UPS settings where wrong, and had a hard power down. After coming back I had 8 errors after parity check. I have fixed the UPS settings. 

     

    Did what the forums say, clean reboot, started a new parity check. Now 50% done and I have 8 errors again. How do I fix these?

     

    Attached is my diagnostic file.

     

    Thanks

    Tony

    (Solved) No hard drives

    in General Support

    Hello,

     

    I will update the BIOS when I get home. Just noticed I am running a VERY old version (Thank you).

     

    On a side note, in testing i went back to 6.8.0 and the server and all drives came up correctly. 

     

    More updates to come later! 

    Failed Drive - 2nd Parity - Drive Upgrade

    in General Support

    Posted · Edited by kingtony911

    Hello Unraid Members!

     

    I need some advice. I currently have a 16 bay 4U Server running Unraid 6.7.12.  Almost all my drives are 3TB (A few are 1TB). I recently had 1 of 3TB the drives fail. I am running 2 parity drives (Both of which are 3TB).  Recently came into a sale of 10TB Drives, and i purchased 2 of them. 

     

    My goal would be to have 1 of 10TB drives be a parity drive (Solo Parity for now.... will upgrade more as they come on sale) and the other be a data drive. 

     

    If i didn't have a failed drive I would...

    • Stop array
    • Shut down server
    • Take out both of the parity drives replace with one 10TB drive.
    • Power up server
    • New Config
    • Keep only data drives preserved
    • Let it rebuild the parity
    • When done put the other 10TB drive in an open slot. 

    Again the failed drive part of this scares me. 

     

    Advice on the best way to upgrade and preserve the data.

     

    Thanks!

    No Hard Drives 9211 IT Mode (SOLVED)

    You can also look for a board bios update and try a different PCIe slot if available.

     

     

    When I was first T/S this issue I did move the raid card to a different PCIe slot with the same results. 

     

    added the following to my /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg

      

      append pci=realloc=off initrd=/bzroot

     

    Per this post 

     

    Now i can see  ALL OF MY HARD DRIVES!!!! thank you everyone for your help.

     

    Quick question, which has been asked before. What is the down side of what i did?

     

    Thanks

    Hello Everyone,

     

    Long time fan, first post ?

     

    Let me start by saying I have 2 server currently. One of them is running Unraid flawlessly for a few months now, love the software and all it can do!

     

    I am however having issues in one of my main servers. It is a 4U Server with 16 hard drive back plane. Currently have 

    • SAS9211-8I - Flashed to IT mode P20 (9211-8i_Package_P20_IR_IT_FW_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows)
    • Intel Raid Expander Card  RES2SV240 - (Not flashed or updated)

     

    Currently on the 9211 I have 1 cable plugged into the back plane (4 Hard Drives) and 1 cable running the expander (12 HD)... Mostly for testing. When I go into the 9211 interface it sees all 16 hard drives (Both HD on the expander and directly into the card), I have set the card not to post to BIO (per flashing instructions)... Before I set it to not show in the BIOS, the BIOS could see all the hard drives!

     

    When I boot up Unraid it only sees my SSD that is plugged directly into the motherboard. In the log files Unraid can see both cards. I have attached a diagnostics in hopes someone smarter then me can find something I did wrong. 

     

    Thanks

    Tony
