Hey everyone. I've just purchased a plus license for my Unraid server. After doing so I rebooted it, and it now has disappeared off the network. It's like it can't even "see" the network adapter. I'm running this on a Dell PowerEdge T430 server with an iDRAC "lights out" remote management card (which has its own dedicated NIC) and I can log in to that and see the console. Here's a link to a screen shot of what I see as Unraid boots up...

It was working fine right up to the moment I installed the license. Help! Unfortunately, I'm not that familiar with Linux so I don't really know where to begin here.

Login on the console, then type "diagnostics" and upload the file here.

I believe I have solved the issue. The Dell server has something called VFlash which is essentially an SD card reader that you can access remotely using the iDRAC remote management card. I had intended to use this to back up my license key from the flash drive. My big mistake was to create a partition on the vFlash called "UNRAID". I think this was causing the OS to think that was the boot drive (it wasn't) and try to load settings from it (they weren't there). Deleting that partition has brought my server back online.

 

Thanks for the speedy replies though, that inspires confidence.

 

Regards,

Tim
