DrewyNucci Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Is it possible to install the OS on a IDE DOM module instead of using a USB drive. I have the server install and ready to start the server and series but there is no chance to input a key to start the server since there is n UUID to be gleaned on my system for the software to generate a key. I much prefer using my 16GB IDE DOM on this hacked together LGA 775 Xeon server i built thank using a USB stick to run and load the OS from. Thanks ahead of time, I'm sure this is a very "new person" question, this is my very first foray into building and maintaining any type of server. warmest regards, Drewy Nucci Quote Link to comment

No, because 1 hour ago, DrewyNucci said: there is n UUID And Unraid requires one unique UUID on the boot device Quote Link to comment
DrewyNucci Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Thanks, I wonder if there’d be a way to put a uuid into the dom... I’m sure I’m asking something that can’t be done out of ignorance of how hardware works, but I’d just really like to run the system off of something other than a usb. Quote Link to comment

Not possible as far as I know. it is worth emphasising that you do not run Unraid from the USB, what you do is load Unraid from the USB on boot - Unraid actually runs from RAM. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 The usb drive is only used to store settings, etc. As already mentioned, nothing actually runs from it. Quote Link to comment

This will work with a normal flash drive plugged in exactly like the DOM you linked.. https://noteboox.de/StarTechcom-2-Port-USB-Motherboard-Header-Adapter-IDC-USB-20-BlackGreenStainless-steel-20-mm-125-mm-230-mm 1 Quote Link to comment
