Is it possible to move sata cables around after unRAID is up and running for a more logical order with no issues?

 

i.e HOST0 is connected to disc 3, and HOST2 is connected to disc 1.

 

I want to move the cables so HOST0 is disc 1 and vice versa.

Just stop the array, get a screen print of the devices page so you can put the drives back on their logical slots after you switch around the cables, power down, moves the cables, power up.  If you did not move the parity drive, and used the ame ports otherwise, unRAID will probably notice you moved them and allow you to start the array recording their new positions.  if not, go to the devices page, assign them to their correct slots, and press "Start" on the main page to start the array once more.  Use the printout of the device assignment you made to guide you in putting the disks back to the correct logical slots in the array.

Um, are you asking if you can rearrange the SATA cables while the server is powered on?

 

That would be a big NO.

 

Or maybe you mean this:

What is the safe way to rearrange disk number, assignments, slots, etc?

Ah, perfect.

 

Thanks guys!
