[SOLVED] Commands to start and stop array

[jonnyczi]

Hi everyone!

 

I'm new to the forum.

 

I have three Unraid servers and remote access has become a primary goal for me recently. I can't for the life of me find the commands that I can run via SSH to start and stop the array.

 

For example I upgraded my server to 6.2 remotely and rebooted. Now I'm stuck with SSH access and in order to access the web gui I need to start Docker which needs the array to be up. One of my containers contains a proxy server that allows me to access the web gui. I'm guessing that on this server I forgot to enable "Auto Start Array"

 

Thank you for your help!

Start:

wget -qO /dev/null http://localhost:$(lsof -nPc emhttp | grep -Po 'TCP[^\d]*\K\d+')/update.htm?cmdStart=Start

 

Stop:

 

wget -qO /dev/null http://localhost:$(lsof -nPc emhttp | grep -Po 'TCP[^\d]*\K\d+')/update.htm?cmdStop=Stop

Start:

wget -qO /dev/null http://localhost:$(lsof -nPc emhttp | grep -Po 'TCP[^\d]*\K\d+')/update.htm?cmdStart=Start

 

Stop:

 

wget -qO /dev/null http://localhost:$(lsof -nPc emhttp | grep -Po 'TCP[^\d]*\K\d+')/update.htm?cmdStop=Stop

 

Yikes!  Probably works though.  Might want to appeal to Tom for a return to the simpler mdcmd commands.

Eric gave them to me for another plugin thats fallen by the wayside.  Its just hitting the webUI to do it.  There is no "command" per se to accomplish starts and stops

I think there used to be, long ago, something very simple like 'mdcmd start' and 'mdcmd stop'...

This day and age there is a ton of other services (docker, vms) that need to be started / stopped that the basic array commands (mdcmd) do not take into consideration.  Hence all the bugaboo going on with a replacement for powerdown now.

Awesome it works! Never though to do it this way! Thank a bunch!

I know this is a very old thread.  Will this work if array is encrypted?  How to mount encrypted array

That command basically pushes the stop array button.  So no reason why encryption would make a difference either way

 

[bphillips330]

Is there a "start" button so to speak. and a spot to put in encryption key from the cli?

[Squid]

No there isn't.  You would have to say have the array autostart and utilize a key file from somewhere in order to accomplish this.  Don't use encryption, so can't particularly help.

If the webgui is corrupted (have an open thread) is there a way to manual start the array that does not invoke the GUI?

I second that question!

I have 500 Internal error on time to time so have to do a host reset, which lead on a parity check after restart...

what parameter would I need to add to that command if my drives are with a passphrase?

Not possible

a file called keyfile is created so you can create before running the command. File is in /root and it is called keyfile. 

 

I get the file via ftp from another device i.e. Raspberry PI to allow autostart in my go.

 

# Start the Management Utility
wget --ftps-implicit --user=pi  --password='raspberry' ftp://x.x.x.x/files/keyfile -O /root/keyfile
