I am still kind of new to this and would love some help.I am wanting to do the following but not sure how to do this.

 

Unraid 6.2

5TB Parity

3x 3TB Data Drives

2TB Cache Drive

512GB Unassigned SSD (Wanting to use for VMs)

 

I have even been trying this plugin at

https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=45807.0

 

Everything seem to be running ok but how do I go about viewing my unassigned drive to add VM images? I am trying not to go back to windows but needing help understanding how to manage these things.

 

Thanks

Disks used in Unassigned devices are on:

 

/mnt/disks/diskname

 

diskname can be changed by clicking on it when it's not mounted

 

You can also access them from other computers (share has to be turned on), eg:

 

\\tower\diskname

 

You can turn the help on, most info is there.

I have this up and running but now having VM issues. I can install new VMs but if I import an existing VM from 6.1.9 I get the following issue in the screenshot.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Here is my Main page if this helps.

Hey,

I'm not sure why you don't use your SSD as a Cache drive. You only use 80GB on the current drive.

Also i have no idea how you used/mounted the unassigned disk :-)

 

What i would do:

• Backup all Data on SSD/Current Cache drive.
  Use any Clone tool and Clone your Cache Drive over to SSD (not inside Unraid)
  Then Assign the SSD as your Cache drive.
  Then you CAN (if you want) add your 2TB Cache as additional storage space.
  For VM:
  You make a Normal Usershare (Private, "Use Cache only"), and this share will store everything on the ssd.
  In VM Config use this Usershare as the "default VM storage Path".
