Solved. Cant believe my eyes. How stupid!!! It was an htpp / https issue. Thank 4 all the help.

No. u mean at boot time? Need to be physically close to the server then? Can I clean the Cache_dirs? The system has been rock solid. But have multpile VMs running heavy load. Kindly let me know what is to be done. File services etc. All working like a song. So why can I just login using any browser? I am Totally disgusted. Its my main Office Server.

Hi, ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. Cannot log in using any browser from any machine. Everything Works. Ping, Telnet, putty, smb and all the shares. But cannot log in. Any help is appreciated. tower-diagnostics-20220216-1948.zip

Issue is resolved. I have been able to recover ALL the Data. And Buying a New License. Keeping the Old One. So will have 3 separate Servers. 1. Freenas 100TB 2 and 3. Unraid Basic. T U.

Yes have heard, I can put my drives into another system 1 at a time on a mac, on a PC with paragon etc, but Since I own an Unraid LIC and also upgrading and now falling in luv with it, wish to avoid the nonsense. And since now ZFS coming in probably in a native config, maybe will add another LIC and convert (my 100TB Xeon) from FreeNas (not upgraded) Still on 11.3 to UNRAID. Its doing the job superbly, do not feel the need to try truenas, as unraid is my calling now. t u again

Finally got my machine hardware setup. Got 3 drives working as a test. all worked okay. Then threw the old drives out. DRIVES FORMATTED AND SOLD. Installed all new 4TBs, 3 then 6. Got everything working. But the some system folders like iso, etc, were on the old array. BUSTED. Got the New array started with 6 4 TBs new. Did a full preclear 2 times (on the safer side) Then (kinda).. follows ::::: instead of a copy, moved 8TB from another server of valuable data onto the new one. All was fine, extended the trial and and the works! The Array was A O Okay. Then Machine was off for a few weeks. Not cannot extend my trial. Now, 1. Have a registered unraid BOX. Running currently,... fully and properly. 2. have another box with data (important) which has not access to the data (as drives cannot be mounted after the trial is over, with a Poorly installed unraid, due to my error. What I want to do. 1. Keep my new Data. 2. Reinstall UNRAID properly. 3. Transfer my LIC to the new System. 4. Upgrade from the 6 drive to the 89USD version. Any help will be welcome. Thank you.

How do I rebalance. Do I use the rebalance plug in?

T u so much for this information.

Would it be a good idea to put my 2 x 500GB 960 NVMEs as a cache pool in mirror Mode? Array will be 6 x 4TB (All New). Still contemplating how to make a XFS RAID 5 for 4x480GB SSDs!!!??? Thank you all for your patience and replies. Rajkumar.

Yes, I always watch all his videos. They are good. thx.

Then I guess the issue is resolved. But I will need a Howto to make the 2nd separate pool. Maybe when installing uraid will see the balance disks. I really don't know as yet. Planning the install this Sunday. Will have time for installing the whole system at 1 go. Currently using all hdds in single parity array. Too section. I think the second tab. Thank u 4 your kind suggestion. This will really help me, I guess if 2 raid5/6 pools are allowed. I as the main array and a second one for the ssds. Hope they will perform like the array, smart and disk failures etc....

This I know but then we are wasting ssd space. 4 x 480 = 3 x 480gb raid 5. 4 x 480 = 2 x 480gb raid 1. So why should I waste space and ssd money if only 1 array is allowed. I am sure that there maybe a work around. After all it's linux. Maybe something else has round around. I remember something like mdadm or something like it. Used it years ago when we have 8gb drives, long long ago, lol. T u 4 your interest and comment.

I wanted to eventually make this mainly into a nas, nvr and a VMs server. So I need cheap hdds with 1 to parity drives. Furthermore, wanted to have a saparate set for my ssd, which I buy every month. We already have about 4 VMs running simultaneously Ona 10x2 core xeon, (40 threads. So mainly 2 separate arrays with parity. One for hdd and 1 for the SSDs. I don't trust and storage. My boss insists on parity. Our stand-alone boxes also have a push system to the server. The data HAS to be on the node due to some legal issues. But backups can be in 1 place. Thus the push system. Everything in the user directory is rsynced to a smb share every 1 hour. Thus the SSDs for the push and the VMs. Hope this answers your question.

That's kinda sad. Will try some config. Else will have to use something else. Dunno. Thx for all your help

okay, I meant just below where it shows array devices. Its call pool in some other OS. So, for now will go with single parity, later on definitely add 2 parity drives. I already have 4x4TB HDD and 4x480SSD. So Can I have 2 arrays on 1 unraid box? I have done this on my 120TB Freenas Box. 8x4TB Raidz2 8x8TB Raidz2 4\8x2TB Raidz2 (old drives lying around. so have 2 diff devs. Can I do this in unraid? if so how? Regards. Rajkumar.
