February 16Feb 16 Community Expert Was away from home for a few days, and returned to find both my unraid servers powered down. Not sure why, this has happened sometimes during a power outage but there are no other signs of that.Powered both servers on, and can reach one through the gui. But can't reach the other. I can see the drive lights on and seem to be randomly lighting up (maybe a parity check)?but can't reach it through the gui. Any advice?

February 16Feb 16 What this tells me is that it is worth it for me to get a entry level Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
February 16Feb 16 Author Community Expert I realize parity checks take a while, mine are about 16 hours or so. But normally I can reach the GUI while the parity check is taking place
February 17Feb 17 Community Expert Connect a monitor and keyboard to the server.Check to see if it has fully booted. (You will see a login prompt. If no prompt, you probably have corruption on the boot drive. )IF it has a prompt, login, get the diagnostics file and upload in a new pst in this thread. Edited February 17Feb 17 by Frank1940
February 18Feb 18 Author Community Expert hi, I attached a monitor and keyboard. saw that it was 'stuck' at bzfirmware checksum error. probably not good lol. any advice for next steps? I feel like I probably need to plug the flash drive into my pc and check for errors?when I hit enter to reboot, it basically loops and gets back to this so not sure how to run diagnostics Edited February 18Feb 18 by grither add pic
February 18Feb 18 Author Community Expert put flash drive into pc, no errors detected. but then copied over the 10 'bz' files off the latest version (I was on the latest version) and got past the bzfirmware checksum error, but now am hanging on this screen
February 18Feb 18 Community Expert Do you have a current flash backup? config folder from your flash drive or flash backup is all you need to get your configuration going again on a new install of any version.
February 18Feb 18 Author Community Expert update: on the screen above, I hit enter despite no prompt. rebooted and can now access the webgui!!! awesome, thanks for the helpwill monitor and see if flash is going bad
