Imba Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 The main page won't refresh and I can't seem to get access to it at all. Should I just force the server to shut down? Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Most likely disk5 dropped offline, since there's no temp showing, and since parity isn't valid yet it can't be emulated, you might need to force a shutdown. Link to comment
Imba Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Well I'm getting replacement drives later today. I guess I'll remove disk5 (it didn't have anything on it anways) and rebuild the array with the good disks for now. Would it be wise to update after the new array is up so I can deal with the failed drives? Link to comment
Imba Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 I removed the failing drives and have all the good drives connect, but I'm not getting an option to make a new array. All it says is "Invalid Configuration" "Too many wrong and/or missing drives. Â Is it possible that removing the two failing drives was one too many? I know v4.7 is a tad nutty. Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 You need to do another new config. Link to comment
Imba Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 So how do I do that? There aren't many option on the main page and I don't have a utils tab. Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I was wrong, utils -> new config is for v5 only, on v4.7 there-s no GUI option, stop the array, go to the console and type:  initconfig  The array will be initialized but all disks will remain assigned, then unaasign the failing disks and optionally assign any new ones.

JorgeB Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Didn't mentioned it but array needs to be stopped.  Link to comment
Imba Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 It won't let me start it since those disks are missing. Link to comment
Imba Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 should the drives be spun down? Link to comment
Imba Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 Do I reboot after I do the initconfig in console? Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 no, but you might need to refresh the GUI, all disks icons should be blue (new). Link to comment
Imba Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 Success the parity is doing it's thing, and everything seems good. When I add the replacement drives how do I go about preclearing them or do I not have to? It's been so long. Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 You don't need to preclear them, unRAID will cleared them on array start, but on v4 array will be unavailable during the clear. Link to comment
Imba Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 I think I'll upgrade before I add them in, does that seem like a better idea? Â Link to comment

Imba Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Status Update! Â 1. The array is protected and back online 2. I've upgrade to v6 it's so pretty O_O 3. I've had an issue with windows not being able to access the serve in explore from the network tab, I get a 'path could no be found' error. However I can access the server if I type out it's ip address \\10.1.10.207. This kind of a problem because I can't get some programs to access the server either since it tries to use the servers name (e.g \\Hive) 4. I guess I need to use UD to see if I can pull files from the failed drives, but I'm not sure what exactly to do since I'm new to this v6 world ^^ Link to comment

Imba Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Still having the issue with windows not being able to access the server. I was looking over the plugin support page for UD and was curious if I have to use a script or something in order to mount the two failing disks I have, or is that for something different and I just have to add the disks?
