So the data was still there on the 2 good drives after running the new config tool. At the very least I got an upgrade of my server to 19TB. Thanks to everyone who replied!

WIll this retain the data that I still have on drives 2 and 3? I ran the New Config tool and now it sees all drives as new drives. The parity drive, drive 2 and drive 3 are in teh same slots still.

I think so. The two hard drives that failed are not detected by another computer, when I plug them in they both make a click kind of noise. I am going to see if I can mount the remaining two working drives on my Windows computer as there really is only a couple of folders that are needed and if the files exist on the two existing drives I am OK.

Does Unraid write complete files to a single disk or can it split it up between multiple drives?

Thanks for your response! So I removed two of the three disks and still have the same issue. I noticed that to the right of where the Start button is it says " Too many wrong and/or missing disks!" and it shows that Disk 4 is missing. Is there a way to force it to start so I can rebuild Disk 1? server-diagnostics-20190112-1542.zip

I had two drives fail back to back so I replaced them and added a new third drive. It's my understanding that I can only rebuild one of the failed drives (since I only have one parity drive) which I am OK with. The option to start the array is grayed out and to the left it says "Stopped. Invalid configuration." I can't sem to find anything that will fix this. I am running Unraid 6.3.5. Another thing I've noticed is that the Preclear utility is not seeing the drives.

How, exactly, were you planning on installing VMWare on unRaid? I was thinking about installing this: http://www.vmware.com/products/player/playerpro-evaluation.html Cisco says they support it http://virl-dev-innovate.cisco.com/workstation.php There's a Linux version. Is VMWare Workstation not a hypervisor?

Thanks for the response. I'm not virtualizing my server, it's running on bare metal. I am wondering if I can run VMWare Workstation on Unraid without running into issues with KVM.

Hello! I'm thinking about running Cisco's Virl on my server but it does not support KVM at this time. Can I have VMWare installed on my Unraid server at the same time as KVM? My thought is that they may fight over hardware resources. If I do run VMWare should I disable KVM entirely?
