Server Lost Connection After Shutdown, now getting 169 IP Address but Containers Work

Hello,

 

I recently had a power outage a few weeks ago and had to shut down my server, using the Web GUI to conserve power on my UPS.  After the power came back, I booted up the server and all of the services were working but I was not able to connect to the Web GUI.  When I had time to take a look at why the Web GUI was not working, I noticed that I could not connect using SSH either, so I hooked up a GFX card and monitor to try check it in Safe GUI mode but the Web GUI would still not work in localhost.  The flash drive I was using is a cheap one I bought at a local pharmacy and I was under the assumption that it had an issue and some data was corrupted and I would need a fresh install on a quality drive.  I got a new drive today, did a fresh install and swapped the drives but as I checked the setup I noticed that the IP address is posted before the login prompt.  I decided to put the old drive in and check the IP and noticed that the IP address is set to 169.254.139.91.  I was rather confused by this as all of my auto start dockers are still functioning.  I am a novice when it comes to networking and containers and do not understand how containers can connect to a network when the OS cannot; can anyone explain how this is possible?  I am running version 6.12.4 and still plan on attempting to set this up again with the fresh drive with 6.12.6.

 

*Update: wanted to start this post to get the info before swapping drives.

When I attempted to login, using the old drive, the screen locked up for a few seconds and, when it unfroze, the IP updated to the correct one for my local network.

 

The new flash drive works but I do not have a recovery drive for my old configuration, or any screen shots of the array, and cannot recall the exact configuration.  I also do not have any saved logs on the old flash drive.  Is there a way to recover the array configuration from the old flash drive?

 

I attached the logs that were on the drive but I think they were from the initial install, and likely do not have all of the drives in the current array.  Is there a command to generate logs?

 

I would appreciate any assistance or advice that could be provided.

You can copy super.dat and the pools folder from the old flash for the assignments.

Thank you!  This was the info I was looking for, I will try it today.

 

*update

This solution worked for me, I also moved the basic.key file and the files in the template-user and everything seems to be working.

 

Thanks again!
