failed USB boot drive, half of my data drives not showing up with newly created USB


Recommended Posts

Hoping someone here can offer some help or advice. I have an unRAID server that has 2 parity drives, 10 data drives, and 3 SSD cache pools. My server UI stopped responding recently, so after investigating, and rebooting the machine it seems like the USB boot drive is totally dead, and I can no longer boot into my old server configuration. I don't have any recent backup of the USB drive anywhere that I am aware of, so I went ahead and followed the direction for setup up a fresh USB and transfered my license using the automated process.

 

Now I can boot back up on the server and get into the UI, and I see some of my drives as unassigned obviously, and I can assign them to slots and start the array as if it was a new configuration... The main problem now however, is that I am only seeing 9 unassigned drives, 4 of them being the SSDs for my cache pools. So 7 of my array drives are not appearing. 2 of them being parity drives and the rest being data drives.

 

Some of the array drives are connected through SAS expansion PCIE cards. Not sure if that matters at all...

 

Does anyone have any ideas on what are the best steps forward I should take to get all my drives back up and everything restored back to normal as best as is possible? I appreciate any help or advice that anyone can offer. Thanks
