Unable to reach or ping server


Recommended Posts

A week ago I had switched my router to an Edgerouter X, and my server has been working fine as far I knew since then. Today I went to the dashboard and instead of showing my docker containers, it said "no apps available to show" and the Dockers tab was even missing. My server is currently on 6.6.5. Going into the settings it said Docker wasn't enabled even though the status in the top right corner said running. But I could access my Plex and other containers just fine from their web UIs, they just didn't show up within unRaid. I was needing access to the containers though so I figured I might try to restart the whole server to see if that gets it working properly again.

 

I couldn't reach the web interface so I forced a shutdown by holding the physical power button. I have not been able to reach the server at all since. I can't reach Plex or anything docker containers that should be running. My motherboard has two ethernet ports on it and I've tried switching between them as well. Going to http://tower/ doesn't work either. I had a static ip mapped through the Edgerouter and I've tried deleting that as well and it still doesn't work. Also the unRaid server has it's own interface on the Edgerouter, and that shows some Tx bandwidth, but mostly zero bandwidth for Rx. I have seen the Rx seldom show a little bandwidth briefly since this issue began. I'm unsure of the significance of this. I can't even ping the machine with that static IP address. I get a mix of "Request timed out" and "Destination net unreachable". Also my motherboard is a Supermicro with a Xeon chip, so I don't believe there's any graphics for me to connect a monitor to. I'm at a bit of loss of what to try next. Any suggestions?

Yes, I've connected it to a monitor, and on boot up it gets stuck in a black screen with a flashing white underscore. I understand this to mean that UnRaid isn't booting up. Could the flash drive have gone bad? I took it out and put it in my Windows machine to run a chkdsk which gave no errors and I was able to read from it to copy all the files over to my desktop. What could the issue me?

I'm not sure what the issue is with the Flash Drive. It shows up under harddrives in the BIOS, but it doesn't show up as an option under Boot Device Priority. Do I need to reimage the flash drive? I was on 6.6.5, so I'm not sure if I reimage it with that version or the latest. Or is there someway to make the usb flash drive bootable again? From the Windows chkdsk, it doesn't appear to have any issue so I'm not sure why it become unbootable.

I've solved the issue now. My Supermicro BIOS only lists one "harddrive" under the Boot Device Priority and has a separate harddrive boot priority list, which the USB flash drive somehow got kicked to the bottom of. Setting it back to the top and setting it as the first Boot Device Priority allowed unRaid to boot up just fine. I'm not sure how this happened either during unraid getting stuck during a clean shutdown or during my subsequent forced shutdown.
