Simple question on disks and Virtual machines

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I have two 128 gig SSD's, and Two 3TB drives.

 

I want to Install Linux and Windows.

 

I want to dedicate each SSD to the OS of each.  So One SSD dedicated to Windows, and the OTHER SSD to Linux.

Then attach a 3TB drive to each for storage.

 

I have tried many methods with the disks area.  I don't add any disk to the parity part, and just add the others in slots 1-4 then create an array.

Then in VM manager, it just ask for how big I want the disk and not WHAT disk to use ( SSD vs 3TB )

 

Thoughts on how I can get this done.  I just spent over a grand on hardware to get this to work..

 

Help appreciated!

In this case you do NOT assign the disks to the array.  Instead you assign them to the VM (using their device names).

Im sorry, can you dumb it down a bit. 

I have two drive in now ( 2x128SSD ) and went to VM tab, BUT it said could not start VM because no array was started.

 

So, I have the two drives in, I have an array started, and now don't get if that was wrong, or what I put in the create VM area.

 

Help really appreciated!

One more thing, how would I add a 3TB disk after the fact?  If Windows was running on a 128, how do I add another storage disk?

Is this done in or outside of unRAID?

 

Thanks

I imagine it would be done outside of UnRaid, but it depends on how you wanted to do it. Do you want to add a share from the UnRaid array to the windows VM, or an entire disk, in which case it might be possible as an unassigned device outside of UnRaid.
