RAID Missing After Removing VM Snapshots

Hi,

I am running OMV as a VM in an ESX Host.

I have two raid 1's, and the OS is on its own drive.

It looks like one of the RAID's ran out of room, and the VM wouldn't start, so I cleared the snapshots in VSphere, and now OMV starts, but one of the RAIDs, likely the one that was full is appearing as missing.

See attached screenshots for output for "Degraded or missing raid array questions"

It looks like the problem lies more with the fact I can't mount the Raid drives for some reason...

Any idea why this would happen and how to fix it?

Need the output from cat /proc/mdstat best guess, this is simply inactive

Looks like you're right:

root@Pat-Nas2:~# cat /proc/mdstat    Personalities : [raid1] [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
md0 : active raid1 sdb[0] sdc[1]
      486408192 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU]
      bitmap: 0/4 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk

md1 : inactive sdd[0](S) sde[1](S)
      7730678988 blocks super 1.2

unused devices: <none>

How do I make this active again?

mdadm --stop /dev/md1

mdadm --assemble --force --verbose /dev/md1 /dev/sd[de]

that should resync the array and restart it.

That did it!

Much appreciated!

Hmm, and then I restart it, and it refuses all connections...

No shares available and not able to connect to web interface.

Can't even SSH in. Console shows some errors. See pics for some of potential interest.

What to do now?

CTRL D gets the SMB share up and going, but the web interface does not let me log in - it just reloads the page when I hit login

After an OMV_firstaid clear web control panel cache I now get this on the web page:

Error #0:

OMV\Exception: Failed to read file '/var/cache/openmediavault/cache.omv\controlpanel\login_js.json' (size=0). in /usr/share/php/openmediavault/json/file.inc:207

#2 /var/www/openmediavault/index.php(46): OMV\ControlPanel\ControlPanelAbstract->render()

Haha fair enough. Thankfully I have access to the data! That's the important thing. I'm no expert either, I just buy hardware and get software and make it work!

I think I'm going to buy an external HD, copy the data out, and run two OMV 5 VM's.

Thanks again for your help on this
