April 22, 201511 yr The down arrow means it will spin the drive down. The up arrow means it will spin the drive up. The state icon (a ball icon, mouse over for legend) indicate whether it is spun up or down. The arrows are not indicators. Ah, that was pretty confusing. Thanks for the explanation.
April 22, 201511 yr For those version 5 users interested in upgrading to version 6, there is an upgrade guide for you: Upgrading to UnRAID v6 Like unRAID v6.0-beta15, it is in beta too, so suggestions and corrections are welcome. Please post all feedback here. At this moment, it is based on v6.0-beta14b, but will be updated to the latest as soon as possible. Thanks very much for that - I'm itching to make the jump, but was anxious about a couple of things. My V5 box is lean, with only 2Gb of RAM as it was built purely as a NAS drive. I was worried V6 might not support this. After reading up about dockers and virtual machines, it looks like I can ditch my app server and have one machine serving everything. Exciting times. And probably expensive
April 22, 201511 yr Very smooth updateto beta 15, new VM Manager is brilliant. No real problems except 1 cosmetic one: System Profiler > System Overview reports: Memory: 29696 MB (max. installable capacity 4 GB) Bank0/1 = 1024 MB, 800 MHz Bank2/3 = 4096 MB, 800 MHz Bank4/5 = 2048 MB (Double-bank Connection), 800 MHz Bank6/7 = 2048 MB (Double-bank Connection), 800 MHz I certainly do not have ~29GB Memory!!

April 22, 201511 yr System profiler is an optional plugin not part of the standard distribution. I have a look at your provided dmidecode output and see if report can be improved. Thanks.
April 22, 201511 yr I created a new windows vm using the gui and could not get studio pass through to work. In windows there were no audio devices find and HD audio bus driver had issues (yellow triangle). I tried reinstalling drivers and changing video cards with the same result. I manually changed the xml to the old way of adding the audio device in the qemu command section. Anyone else have this issue? I tried it with an hd5450, hd6450, and gt210. Passing through a USB sound card worked fine though.

April 22, 201511 yr You will probably want more RAM to fully take advantage of new features. Also, VM capabilities will depend on your CPU and BIOS. Yes, I was thinking that. It was built as a bare minimum system that uses as little power as possible, with an app server doing all the heavy stuff. Now it looks like a single box is a possibility, albeit by probably replacing everything but the drives. Thank you.

April 22, 201511 yr Is there a feeling that B15 seems Solid? I have been reading this thread and don't see any problems posted unless it slipped me? Thank you

April 23, 201511 yr My Win8 KVM loaded fine after upgrading. However, when I clicked the edit button to view it in the new editor, I toggled a couple CPU's and clicked save. The VM would not boot because the editor added a driver for UEFI and the VM would enter it and stay there. Manually editing the XML in the editor to remove this line corrected the issue. Editing the VM via the GUI and saving doesn't cause any issue now. Sorry I don't have the exact line in the XML, I didn't think to copy it first. ETA: Windows booted with the Build number on the desktop, Control Panel > System showed that it wasn't registered any longer.
April 23, 201511 yr So I've upgraded, and followed the first post (i.e. removed dmacias' old libvirt and vmmanager plugin.) However, the new VMs tab is not showing any of my existing VM's. The xml's were successfully copied across and I can see them in /etc/libvirt/qemu as per below: Any ideas? Have tried multiple reboots etc EDIT: Ignore, VM's were 'off' in Settings -> VM Manager. Not sure if that's supposed to be the default, but switching it on and rebooting fixed it.
April 23, 201511 yr Is this a known issue? I have made an update to the system information plugin. If you have plugin version checking enabled, you will receive a notification, otherwise go to the Plugins tab and press 'Check for Updates'.

April 23, 201511 yr After reading up about dockers and virtual machines, it looks like I can ditch my app server and have one machine serving everything. Exciting times. And probably expensive You still don't need big hardware. I've run v6 on a Celeron G1610T with 2GB RAM, with 4 Dockers and it handled it just fine. Of course, I have to run everything severely overkill, so I run it on an i5 with 16GB RAM.
April 23, 201511 yr You still don't need big hardware. I've run v6 on a Celeron G1610T with 2GB RAM, with 4 Dockers and it handled it just fine. My non-unRaid app server is running Plex, Logitech Media Server, DVB Logic (TV pooling and streaming) and client backups, so I might get used to a basic unRaid 6, and work out the best way to migrate everything later. There's a lot more low power chips out now than when I first built my unRaid box, plus SAS connectivity and stuff, so it's about time for a refresh. Plus most of my system is on 1TB drives, so I could probably shrink that down to just a few 4TB drives over a couple of months. It's probably been in action for 8 years, so it could do with a refresh. Thanks for the advice & reassurance.
April 23, 201511 yr is there anyway to give a VM a IP address on the same subnet as my local? Yes. Create a network bridge from th e network settings page and then type the name of that bridge in the alternate network bridge under the vm settings page. Note: this will only impact VMs created going forward. To update an existing vm to use the unraid managed bridge, you will need to edit the vm and turn on advanced mode. Type the unraid managed bridge name in the appropriate field, update the VM, then start it up. Great Thanks Can anyone give me an example of what needs doing to setup an alternate bridge which allows my VMs to be seen by my local network? I can't seem to find 'Advanced Mode' referenced. Also ... how does this hang together, can i just use any old bridge name, say 'MyBr' and declare it to xml?
April 23, 201511 yr first under the settings tab then network and turn on bridge mode and you should see bridge name I put in br0 then go under settings again then vmmanager you have to stop it and then fill in the Alternate Network Bridge to match mine is br0 start it again, any new VM will now have that filled in and you can see local network. any existing machines you can edit the vm and just change the bridge to br0, mine was originally vitbr0

Also ... how does this hang together, can i just use any old bridge name, say 'MyBr' and declare it to xml? Screens attached, advanced mode is not too obvious unless you really look, the network bridge is under settings, network settings. Also, basically, yes.
April 23, 201511 yr Not sure if worth mentioning or not... but my unraid sits behind a VPN and I was unable to update unraid through the GUI (stalls on downloading the zip file). Which is odd because other plugins update fine.
April 23, 201511 yr [Possible Bug] I have an empty share, and when I click the "delete" checkbox to delete it, the "delete" button shows up as non-clickable. If I uncheck and recheck then I can click it.
