Yellow NL Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hi guys i have a problem i cant figgure out with my noob skills so am hoping you could lead me the way. I had Unraid on an normal pc with 1 harddrive. Now i have bought an old server an HP DL360 G6. The problem is, Unraid doesnt recognize my harddisk anymore because now he sees only the P410i raid controller. How can i overcome this? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 From googling, it doesn't look like that controller supports JBOD. Best idea would be to use different hardware. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 If there aren't any onboard SATA ports get a non RAID controller, LSI recommended. Quote Link to comment
Yellow NL Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 damn so there is no workaround for it? there are no onboard sata ports. only 1 slimeline could that be possible? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 The workaround is to configure the RAID controller so each disk is a separate RAID0 array with a single disk in each. But that workaround is going to be a source of trouble for you and better to get something else. Quote Link to comment
Yellow NL Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 i did that and it recognize the drives. but ofc. not the serial no. of my harddrive so i cant reach my data on it. If i buy an slimline sata to sata cable and plug it in there is there a possibility it will work? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Can you get a SMART report from the drive in that configuration? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 10 minutes ago, Yellow NL said: only 1 slimeline What would be the point of Unraid with only one disk? Quote Link to comment
Yellow NL Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 well i got 3 new disks but they work with the p410i raid controller. Only thing is all my data is on the old 1 disk. i would like to acces that data Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Old disk may or not work after a new config, but you should be able to mount it with the UD plugin and move the data to the other disks, then add to the array as new disk, just keep in mind that if you need to change hardware in the future same thing will happen, jus one of the reasons why RAID controllers are not recommended.
