It’s sorted, from here I got into “unRaid OS GUI mode” and clicked on network settings.

*Dynamic

Okay so on the 10th (or more) try it finally booted up and here’s where I’m at. That IPv4 adx is the original static IP. How can I change that to static from here?

I have a UPS that shuts down the server 3 minutes after it goes on battery. I can not get to bios through VGA or HDMI.

I knew I had to change my server from static IP to dynamic before I replaced my router but I forgot. I started to watch a movie last night and - no files. Knowing the problem was probably the IP address I went to shut down the server but instead of pulling the plug on the UPS and letting the machine initiate a proper shutdown I stupidly shut off the UPS which abruptly stopped the server. Now I can't get any video output from the server. I can't even get the bios to display. Things I have tried: Connected a monitor via VGA. Connected a 2nd monitor via VGA (just in case the 1st one was bad). Connected to a TV via HDMI. Removed unRAID USB stick from machine and tried HDMI again. Machine powers on and all lights work (power, HDD bays, SAS controller card, & ethernet port on MB). Machine shuts down with a long press of power button, reset button does not work. ANy insights would be helpful, thanks

After reading that wiki page about 6 times I think I've finally got it. I started the process of copying the old parity on to the new 8TB drive. I'll let you know how it went tomorrow night. Thanks for all the help from everyone.

My current parity (and all other drives are 6TB). I'm downloading the diagnostics right now but it's taking a while. is it normal to take over 10 minutes?

I read through the info on the link that you sent and I'm still a little foggy on the procedure. It wants me to replace the parity AND the data drive simultaneously and then rebuild. If I do that then where will the correct parity information come from if a whole data drive is missing? Another paragraph says that I can copy the parity onto a new drive but I don't see that option on the unRaid software

I purchased a few 8TB drives to start upgrading my 6TB's. In the meantime one of my 6TB has failed so I can't replace the parity drive 1st or I will lose everything on (failed disk) right? The disk that has failed is one of the ones I was going to replace with this 1st batch of new drives anyway so can I put a new 8TB in it's place and let it rebuild and then upgrade parity to 8TB? (understanding that the whole drive will not be available because of the parity size) If yes, will the whole new drive become available after I upgrade parity to 8TB? If you think this is a risky move I would rather wait the few days for shipping and just get another 6TB to get this done, my data is worth more than the cost of a throwaway drive.

Awesome, thanks. I haven't installed any dockers yet but this seems like a good place to start.

In the display settings it's these 2 headings. To match the dashboard color I used MS snipping tool and grabbed a sample of the background color then went to this website https://html-color-codes.info/colors-from-image/ and uploaded the image. It will then generate the HTML code for the color that you enter into the "header custom background color" line. You can also find the codes for every other color on that site to create whatever font color you want.

Okay, just figured out 2-3 so scratch those. Thanks

I could use a little help please. I've been changing every setting back and forth for over 30 minutes and can't figure out these 3 things 1. How to add MB & CPU temp to dashboard 2. How to change color in this field 3. How to change font color for these items I have version 6.8.3 with no dockers

I decided to try a heatsink and a fan which dropped the temps about 10C. I will have to test it under load next time I have something to transfer. Thanks for the tips.
