Hi, i am a novice with unraid and i recently notice that i have many shares unprotected.

My docker/VM

i have home assistant vm with this config for disk/share:


and here my diagnostic
azkabanserver-diagnostics-20260203-2036.zip

I manually ran the mover but it did not change the status of the shares, i do not know which other step to take.
I appreciate all the effort/time you will put to help me !

Thank you!

Edit: I found a photo on the cache, i stopped all my docker/vm and then ran the mover. My LeviOsa share is now green but all the shares on Vm_pools are still showing a triangle.

Fixed one of my share.

Since you have Docker related shares - appdata, docker - on vm_pools, and VM vdisks also, might as well put libvirt.img (in VM Manager) there also and just not have the share named system.

isos doesn't have to be off the array since it is just used to install VMs, and can be unmounted from the VM if no longer needed. But it also doesn't take much space typically so it can be off the array if you want.

The only pool you have with redundancy is cells, which is small and I assume has some special purpose.

If you want appdata, docker, domains, isos to be protected, you need to make vm_pools redundant by adding another 64GB disk to make it a mirror. But I question whether 2x64GB mirror is large enough for the intended purpose of that pool. I recommend 2x256GB at least.

and VM vdisks also

domains is the share usually used for that, and that is how you have it configured in VM Manager.

But you have your HA vdisk in isos share, which is usually just for iso used for installing a VM

Basically, any share that does has files on a disk pool that is a single disk (or the unraid array without a parity disk) will get reported as being unprotected due to the fact that if one of those disk pools fails, you have no redundancy. (no 2nd drive to act as a failsafe)

Thank you @trurl and @MowMdown for the explanation that i am sure you have to repeat many time to novice like me 😅 .

I am sorry if i repeat myself or repeat what you just said, english is not my forte.

So ...
1. adding another ssd to the vm_pools will take care of the yellow triangle (to make it a mirror). I will do that.

2. Yeah i understand, has i will probably expand what the unraid server host, like planning to get jellyfin for movie/music and more..., upgrading to bigger ssd would be better knowing that i need to buy one for vm_pools redundancy.
   
   Thank you again, i really appreciate the help and time you took for helping me !

You would need to have at least a mirror (two drives in raid1) for both your cache and vm pools since they are both only single disks
