January 27, 20233 yr Hello. My array had 4 drives fail and I can not start it. My question is what happen with cache because my VM is located there. As I can not start the array, I also can not access my OS. Is possible save my VMs? Any idea? Thanks, Leandro.
January 28, 20233 yr Author I dont know. I turn off the unraid and the next day when I turn it on, 4 drives fail. With 4 drives fail, unraid dont allow start the array. At this moment, I dont care about the data in array. I only want to save my VM and OS.

January 30, 20233 yr Author Yes, they was in controller card. The fail drives can not be seeing in the bios. I remove them and try to test offside and in the other software. They are not working.
January 30, 20233 yr Community Expert Do you mean the drives don't work even if you put them in another computer?
January 30, 20233 yr Author Yes, exactly. But I dont care about these drives. I would like to know how I can save the VMs that are in cache. The cache ssd are working correctly.
January 30, 20233 yr Community Expert You can do New Config to create a new array and include your existing cache. If cache is mountable you should be able to get its files. The new array must have at least one data disk, parity not required. Or, if this was a single disk cache pool, that disk can be read on any Linux, no Unraid necessary.
