But I do have one question would I need to acquire another license key? due to the guides from the main site cover moving a key over to a key with the same version in case of failing flash drive. and in the pricing upgrading is permitted but it doesn't mention downgrading? Once you have a licence it is valid for any Unraid release.
October 8, 20205 yr Author Thanks for that, and it is the same process of copying the web link across from the email to the unraid server? (sorry if it is a too obvious question).
October 11, 20205 yr Author Hello, a little later than planned but I have Just started the array and we at 0.2% if it locks up once again it is not memory or power because yesterday I swapped out the 750watts to a 1000wat power supply and now the drives are sharing 4 of the 6 leads and then we have 1 for the x4 fans and lights. and one for the usb3 pic express card. so fingers crossed that is all sorted out.
October 11, 20205 yr Author No still locking up, at 0.6% 14minutes in. Is there something else that I could be missing?
October 11, 20205 yr Author It was through the web browser on another machine and it had 3 tabs one was the router to get the ip of the Unraid machine, another with this page open and the last the was the unraid web gui. I have not set anything else up as of yet. I have been unable to complete the 1st parity sync. the furtherest I have got is 0.6%.
October 11, 20205 yr Community Expert Why haven't you setup Syslog Server? What version of Unraid are you running now? Did you try the stable release?
October 11, 20205 yr Author used a windows machine to create the USB via the creator tool. and when it came to enter in the line key it locked up the second time around the key was entered and then locked up again! the third time I was half way through setup the drives (selecting which drive for parity,storage, cache etc then it locked up, after that I got to start the array for the 1st time, and at 0.3% it locked up at 5mins in. this then repeated. So then someone guided me to the diagnostics. then some else asked about hardware. Then we looked at XMP now that is disabled, someone suggested a power supply issue. Which is where we at now I switched the power supply yesterday and today I booted it and got to 0.6% and at 14minutes in. someone else suggested go to os 6.8. which I was going to look at after food.
October 11, 20205 yr Author at the moment it on 6.9 I have made a usb with 6.8 ready to try after tea. Since it is now so close to that time of day.
October 11, 20205 yr Author just found the replace key on the flash pane... but the unraid wave is taking its time. i hope it has not locked up again!
October 11, 20205 yr Author Okay something is wrong? it is saying the parity is invalid and on the main page it saying starting services but it has not I am not seeing the parity check?? but it seems that it has not crashed. What do I have to do?

October 11, 20205 yr Ok. I think it's time to take a different attack. Do you have any data on the server yet? In your screenshots it appears to be a totally new setup. If there is nothing really set up yet, I'd like you to physically unplug all the drives except for the USB Unraid boot stick, and the two parity drives. Set a new config, with one of the drives as parity 1, and the other as data disk 1. See if it will complete a parity build.
October 11, 20205 yr Author yes, I have not put any data on there the only thing that I have done is change the name from the default.
October 11, 20205 yr Author so set one of the 14tb as parity and other 14tb as data? I will give that a go tomorrow after work?

October 13, 20205 yr Author Hello. Sorry I did not get to looking at this yesterday. I disconnected all the sata drives apart from the parity drives and selected one of the parity drives on data 1 but it will not let me start an array because it is saying too many drives are missing? what do I do to get around this?

October 13, 20205 yr Author Hello, Sorry I done the new config and just started it going. One 14tb as Parity 1 and the other 14tb as data 1.
