  1. I was able to get this "fixed". I re-installed the OS and didn't use SEABIOS this time. Hope this helps!
  2. Howdy, I tried to be as descriptive in the title for future googlers to find this thread. I personally looked around and couldn't find a solution that worked. I'm running an Ubuntu 16.04.5 VM running SeaBios. Some more information can be seen in this screenshot: I was able to do the normal Ubuntu/Linux setup pages and then once install finished and it did its automatic reboot, I got stuck at this page in VNC. To help google SEO, the message is " Booting from Hard Disk... " and then hangs. If anyone knows any solutions, let me know! Thanks!
  3. I remember reading something like that. Thanks for confirming. Honestly I'm trying to set something up under my existing network. There is a business already running and setup and I don't really want to mess with it. That's wjy I was looking at GRE tunnels, because they are machine specific. If you have any suggestions for something like this, let me know.
  4. Alright. Was kind-of hoping for just $50 rather than paying for shipping. This is something I would put above my current router? Nextly, to summarize the above 2 posts into one message you might be able to help me with: I'm seeing good and bad things about the H200. If I got it, would I need to change the cable into my R710? Right now I'm seeing about $30 for the new "RAID" card and $70 for this router which, from what I can tell, has a built-in function for GRETunnels?
  5. I can't find where on that page to actually buy that, or look for the price?
  6. Update, looks like I'm going to buy this guy (click me) which supports JBOD, which is what unraid needs. I have a few questions though, it says it supports SATA, does that mean I can switch fully over to SATA rather than SAS drives? Will I need a new backplane for this? What kind of adapter cable is needed? Thanks.
  7. Thanks so much to both of you. I ended up ordering this guy: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-PowerEdge-R710-Xeon-E5640-2-67GHz-16GB-RAM-300GB-x-2-600GB-x-3-HDD/192636497562?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 No details on the RAID card, however I suspect a PERC6I card (as its pretty common). I plan on upgrading the processor when it arrives, and memory at a later date. I'm about to order the HDDs (2tb seagate drives on amazon) I was reading around and saw some people say that SAS drives are not recommended, will I need a different RAID card for unraid to work properly? Also, do I need / is it recommended to have a parity drive for each HDD I have? Thanks. Edit: Did some more digging, I had a "better" r710 from another seller before and I returned it, thinking the raid card was messed up and thats why it wasn't detecting the drives (another buyer said his raid card was DOA). Turns out I need to flash the card to IT mode?
  8. Howdy Lime-Tech community! I'm testing out unraid to run a fairly simple configuration however I am new to this scene. I'm trying to setup unraid to store files locally as a "backup" which I can figure out myself, however, I'm also trying to run an Ubuntu 16.04 VM where I can have ports automatically get opened on my router aswell as use a GRETunnel. A GRETunnel basically sets up a proxy so users connect to my VPS, which fowards traffic. This way I have the DDoS protection from a cheap VPS from a nearby datacenter yet I can host my own high-quality server. Is this within unraid's capability? I'm concerned because they are run in dockers which may cause issues, i'm not sure. This is the tutorial I was planning on following for a GRE Tunnel: https://wiki.buyvm.net/doku.php/gre_tunnel Any more tutorials or tips would be appreciated! Thanks.
