Steviewunda Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Hi - I performed a clean shutdown of my unRaid media server yesterday so my sparky could install a dedicated circuit for my home theatre/listening room. When the new circuit was in place and everything else had been powered on, I attempted to boot the unRaid server but it was dead as a dodo. Initial troubleshooting finds no problem with the psu (the same psu and cables booted another pc, and multimeter readings are good). When I first tried to boot it, I thought the power switch felt different, so I decided to do a long overdue case upgrade - hoping to kill 2 birds with one stone. I hoped that the power switch in the old case was faulty, but no. I have reseated all cables, RAM and CPU. I have done a hard reset, and replaced the CMOS battery. I have tried removing the GPU and NIC, but it is looking like I am up for a new cpu and motherboard. What is the procedure for introducing new hardware into my unRaid server?

Steviewunda Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 After removing the CMOS battery for about 15 minutes I was, much to my surprise, able to boot to unRaid - but both parity drives were missing. They appear to have both died at the same time. I have tried them on different data and power cables, and in a Windows PC, but they do not spin up and appear to be dead. As I outlined in my previous post, all this happened after a clean shutdown. I have included my diagnostics files although I don't know if they will be any use. I would greatly appreciate any advice regarding what might have happened, as I am worried that the same thing might happen after replacing the parity drives.

Steviewunda Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) I changed the topic to a more accurate one. Diagnostics are attached to the previous reply. Any help greatly appreciated, including advice on how to introduce new parity drives. Edited December 15, 2021 by Steviewunda Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted December 15, 2021 Solution Share Posted December 15, 2021 You just need to assign them and start the array to begin the parity sync. Quote Link to comment
Steviewunda Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 Thanks JorgeB - is there any indication in the diagnostics why they died? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Diagnostics contains syslog since last reboot, SMART for all attached disks, other hardware and configuration information. Unless you have diagnostics or syslog from then we can't tell anything about those disks. Quote Link to comment
