When 6 drives become 7.. Help!

[IrishBiker]

Hi All

 

I have a Gen 8 HP MicroServer with 4 drives for storage and 1 for cache. My cache drive is starting to fail, it boots in about 1 out of 50 attempts. I've added a second a SSD to mirror the cache. My issue is Unraid is reporting I have 7 drives and won't start. The HP unit has a small flash drive built in which I don't use however I cannot see anywhere to uninstall/remove it from Unraid or from HPE/ILO.

 

Is there anyway I can disable it so Unraid will start and allow me to clone my cache. Don't want to reboot my system if I can help it.

 

 

Thanks

UPDATE: I bit the bullet and bought the upgrade licence which leads me to my next question. Adding the second cache drive and added it to a pool. Can I set it up to either clone or mirror the first one?

Mirror is the default for the pool. Other btrfs raid configurations are possible.
