A follow up to my original post. I have used this HP drive for almost a year now with zero issues. I rebooted about 5 days ago to fix a drive issue with no hang ups. Hopefully it will last as long as the last HP one I had before. The still sell them at Office Depot for under $10.00

@LolightHere you go: ========================== Summary ========================= Vendor ID : 0x03F0 (HP Inc.)

I recently had a flash drive scare where I thought my original drive was finally going to die on me. I think it's over 10 years old at the point (4Gb HP). Watched Spaceinvader1's video and found the suggested Kingston and Samsung on Amazon, only to come here after I ordered and received those to see that they are probably counterfeit drives. So, I will be returning both per the suggestions of others. That led me on a search to find a backup for my original drive and I found some 16gb HP drives on sale at Office Depot/Max. The have a unique GUID and work with Unraid though I had to do a manual install. Also, the website and packaging says it's a 16gb drive, but it shows up in windows as 28.8. They are USB 2.0 drives which I know is prefered. https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/5892874/HP-v150w-USB-20-Flash-Drive/ I am going to boot up one on my test server and see how long it lasts.

I removed a few more plugins I was testing and also reverted my go file to like it was a new install and I am back up and running. Thank you to those that replied.

Did some additional searching and reading on the cannot connect to the hypervisor. Turns out the VM backup plugin I was testing is not supported anymore and when I removed that .plg from the plugins folder that went away. Still cannot login to the GUI, even in safe mode which is weird as I do not have automatic startup enabled so docker and the VM's won't start at boot. Assuming it must be another plugin now? I did wipe my thumb drive and put a fresh install on that. Boots up quickly and can login to the GUI so I know it's not the MB, processor or video card. I did not have drives connected on the fresh install, but that shouldn't matter. Any more suggestions on what to remove from my startup to get back into the GUI would be appreciated!

It's still 6.10 so it's not that old. I typically wait until the bugs are sorted out of the newer versions and see a lot of "upgraded, no issue replies in the threads". Seems like 6.11 is mature now and my current version worked fine this AM until I added some drives which shouldn't break anything. But I would need to get into the GUI to upgrade to 6.11 right? I am reverting back to my prior drive config to see if that gets me back in to the GUI to make changes and sort it out. I also have done some additional searching and believe that my Zigbee and Zwave sticks that attach themselves at VM startup via the USB plugin might be part of the issue. Still need to see if that is the case.

LSI in IT mode. I have had zero issues with them and years ago had two of them fully populated. With the larger drive sizes now I am down to 11ish drives.

Added a few new drives to the server today to migrate my cache drive over to them as several drives in the current pool have errors. To the best of my memory here is what I changed: Original setup was all drives connected via HBA's (two of them). I moved all the spinners to the onboard SATA connections on the motherboard and moved the single connector on the 2nd HBA to the 1st HBA as the goal was to remove the 2nd one. Connected the four new SAS ssd's on on the 1st HBA for a total of 8 total drives on the one HBA (the max). Booted the system and cannot access the GUI, even in safe mode. Things I have tried: Removed the new drives, but did not move the spinners back to the HBA card. Ran check disk on the usb thumb drive. No errors. Trying to avoid "putting it back" as I need to migrate to the new drives for cache. Logs attached. Photo attached of the errors when it's done booting. tower-diagnostics-20230314-1358.zip

Upgraded from 6.9.2 to 6.10.1 a few days ago. Just upgraded to 6.10.2 today. No issues with either upgrade.

If you have not seen them already, check out Gridrunner's youtube channel on how to setup all things unRAID. His channel is a treasure trove of information on how to setup Docker containers and VM's along with a few videos about general setup as well. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZDfnUn74N0WeAPvMqTOrtA

I had this same issue. Bungy is correct, trying a new flash drive (different brand) should get rid of the kernel panic and allow you to update.

And it's back up to $199 now. I bought at $199, $179 and $159. Still all good deals.

Price back down to $169.99

Upgraded from 6.3.4, no issues.

Updated from 6.2.4 with no issues.

Upgraded from 6.2.3 with no issues. Stopped docker and Win10 VM before doing so, seemed to be faster/better than prior updates with those services running.

Upgraded without issue.

If you know the IP address of you unRAID box you can type that into Chrome, Firefox or IE and see if it connects. Sometimes windows forgets the name of the server on the network (IE:Tower) and will not let you access the GUI that way. If you can see it via SSH, which I believe you said that you can then it it working and probably a windows issue. Which version of unRAID are you running? Some of the newer versions allow for GUI booting so you can control the box directly and not from another computer. You could use the GUI mode to see what is going on with the VM and maybe undo anything that is causing connectivity issues.

Docker is not enabled with a fresh install. You have to turn it on. Quit trolling. He might be referring to the isos share that does get created automagically on a fresh install. I don't use docker or VM's so I just delete the share. But he has a point, it should be up to the user to create it. It puts mine on the parity protected array. Not a huge deal but an annoyance for anyone who doesn't intend to use it. So I can see where he's coming from. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I stand corrected. I did not realize that it did this with the newer versions by default. My Apologies!

If by chance you have a backup of your USB drive you can take your .key file from the config folder and put it on a new USB drive and transfer it online. https://lime-technology.com/replace-key/
