ESXi VM upgraded to Unraid 6.3.0 - WGET hangs


Recommended Posts

I have upgraded from unraid 5.0.5 to 6.3.0.  I am using plopkexec to load the VM (I wanted the easier unraid os updates).

 

I copied my files over per the guide:

http://www.ostricher.com/2012/09/setting-up-unraid-vm/

 

I was able to boot up and my configuration is intact.  However, it says I need to register a key.  I am going to use a Trial key until everything works before I buy.  Here is where the problems start:

1) I get a link to my trial key but when I past it in the unraid gui it just hangs on "downloading" no errors. 

2) So I SSH into the unraid machine, go to the /boot/config folder and I attempt to wget the key.  wget resolves the address but just hangs.  Eventually it indicates that it is unable to download the key

3) I double check my DNS and network settings.  Using googles DNS addresses

4) I shutdown the system and pull the drive to manually store my keyfile (which I am able to download with my windows machine) into the config folder

 

-------------- SOLVED ----------------

 

I had a static IP set in my router.  I neglected to update the table with the new VM MAC address.  The odd thing is that it would resolve hostnames but didn't have full internet connection.  Once I update the MAC all worked as expected.

5) now when I boot up it boots w/o errors but the webgui never starts.  I am able to ssh to the unraid box just fine. 

 

I had read about others having a USB issue so I thought maybe my webgui was just hanging.  I read this post:

not sure if it is related.  Going to try a full format and rebuild the stick.  Any help appreciated.

I'm wanting to follow this as well.  I am starting to think that unRaid on ESXI would be the best solution for me, so want to see if you get it up and working.

 

I want a Server 2016 VM for AD usage on unRaid.  If I put it all on ESXI, then I can make sure that server 2016 is up before UnRaid.
