Optimist Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) Hi Been running unRaid under ESXI for a long time but recently decided i need something my wife / kids have a chance of actually looking after if im not around. Its been rock solid but want to simplify. My understanding is i simply need to rebuild my machine using the usb that currently has unraid on and ensure when i start unRaid that drives are correctly allocated. Anything else i need to worry about? Thanks in advance Edited August 15, 2017 by Optimist typo Quote Link to comment
SSD Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I would think if you boot off the USB that was booting unRaid in the VM, it would just work. Quote Link to comment

I did this recently (well, not too recently) and it worked perfectly. Only issue I could imagine is if you were booting off of a disk image and not updating the flash drive when updating unRAID. Of course, any esxi VMs will be no more and you're need to figure out how to migrate those. I just started over from scratch so I can't help there. Quote Link to comment
Optimist Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Just to close the thread out for anyone in the future. As easy as expected 1. Take a screenshot of your drive assignment 2. Stop array 3. Powerdown the server 4. Remove the ESXI usb drive 5. Reboot the server 6. Check drive assignment is correct before starting the array Only issue i had on reboot was intel nic not being recognised. Switched to onboard nic. Sure there is a solution which ill get to in due course Quote Link to comment
