August 12, 20223 yr I recently upgraded my cache pool from two 256GB SSD's to two 1TB SSD's (Followed SpaceInvaders video tutorial to do so.) Everything seems to have worked just fine, however, upon rebooting the server today, the Dashboard tab is saying the cache array is stopped . On the Main tab under the "Device" column, the Caches have a red "x" next to them and the word "Wrong". In the "Array Operation" the array is indicated as "Stopped. Configuation valid". On both the Dashboard and Main tab, at the very bottom, it is marked "Array Stopped Autostart disabled (device configuration change). Nothing really changes once I start the array, both the Main and Dashboard tabs have the same error messages, although the array seems to be working fine. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure where to look to troubleshoot this issue. I suspect it's perhaps just a setting that has to be changed somewhere. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
August 12, 20223 yr Community Expert Stop the array, unassign both cache devices, start the array, stop the array, re-assign both cache devices, start the array, everything should be correct after that.
August 12, 20223 yr Author O K..., and when you say "unassign", you mean I set the both caches to "no device". Sorry ... still learning here....

September 23, 20223 yr Author Oh boy, I seem to have an issue with my cache pool once more. For no apparent reason, the cache pools were no longer recognized. As a result, the system took the array off-line. . To make matters even worse, I rebooted the server and now, I cannot even connect. I have no idea what is going on .. Any assistance would be greatly apppreciated.
September 23, 20223 yr Community Expert Without diags not much I can help, first you need to get the server back up, pool issues should cause server connection issues, and it won't if the server is not auto-starting, if it is disable that.
September 24, 20223 yr Author Well, the situation has changed a bit. I decided shortly after placing this post to simply reboot (warm boot) the server. It restarted normally, and the cashe pool was recognized and functioning properly. So.. I'm going to assume everything is ok (or until the problem repeats itself). Ps., you mentioned auto start.. at this point do I leave "Enable auto start:" to "Yes" in the "Disk Settings" ?
September 24, 20223 yr Community Expert Change it to no for now, this way and if it happens again, you'll know if the issue is related to array start.
