dikkiedirk Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I have both a Unraid and a ESXi stick on my server so I can boot to Unraid or ESXi. Is it possible to "convert" or transfer my unraid setup to ESXi, so it behaves exactly like when it is booted from the unraid stick? Link to comment
marcusone Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Depending on your hardware. Yes. See one of the many threads on the forum talking about this. Particularly he "Atlas" build. Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment
dikkiedirk Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 The system I built for testing is a bit of a special case. First the standard stuff: X9SCM-F, E3-1240, 8 GB RAM, M1015 with 2 Samsung data disks. The bit special part is the ARC1200 with 2 2TB WDs configured as a 3 TB RAID0 volume for parity and a 500 GB RAID1 volume for cache. This has been working in baremetal unraid 5.0 RC3 for over a week. 24/7 Parity building/syncing/checking, downloading with SABNZB, moving from cache to array. It also did a scheduled nocorrect parity check on the first of the moth (September 1st). Yesterday I created a unraid VM using a 5.0-RC3 vmdk of BetaQuasi and the usb stick I had been using the last week. It booted just fine with the array started and all disks in place. SABNZB was still working and I downloaded a few movies. This morning I noticed the parity disk was disbled. According to the syslog this happened when the mover was running. Can one of you take a look at the syslog and see what went wrong? I used Arecas ESXi driver for the ARC1200 which I installed myself. The ARC1200 and M1015 were passed through in ESXi. Could this be a driver issue? Or is it hardware related? Right now unraid baremetal is running on the same hardware doing a parity sync. See how it goes. Link to comment
marcusone Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 If you are passing through the arc1200 you shouldn't need the Esxi driver. Try removing the driver just in case. ? Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment

Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk 2 Didn't know that. If I remove the driver will the ARC1200 show up at all in ESXi? How do I remove this driver? Link to comment
