6.12.0-RC1 VMs do not display

sure, there you go:

 

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/*/topology/thread_siblings_list|sort -nu
0,4
1,5
2,6
3,7

 

 

Edit: Inspired by your question I just checked if I could edit the vms and interestingly enough edit is only possible for No 2 "WinServ" (although it takes a "longer" minute to load) for "DebServ" the edit screen won't load at all

Have you removed vcpupinning from XML? Issue I am seeing the issue is due to no cpus pinned.

 

Each VM should have a CPU. I can put a fix to stop the error stopping edit and vmmachines list from working.

 

But can you also confirm if you goto setting cpupinning

 

it has errors also. adding  via edit and change to XML should allow it to load correctly.

 after

<vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu>

 

This
  <cputune>
    <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='0'/>
  </cputune>

and @ThrashMan Can you provide the out of cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/*/topology/thread_siblings_list|sort -nu for me please.

 

Hi Simon, interesting spot. Neither Pop-OS nor pfSense settings will open in 6.12 RC6. (see attached)
pfSense:  starts ok.  All is virtual.

Pop-OS:    starts ok.  All is virtual.

Output:
root@Tower:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/*/topology/thread_siblings_list|sort -nu
0,8
1,9
2,10
3,11
4,12
5,13
6,14
7,15

 

I'm happy to delete both VMs to see if that "fixes" the issue but I assume it would be more useful to get to the bottom of it as 6.11 has no issues with any of my VMs?

 

Regards,

Andy.

yes, i had removed the vcpu-pinning.

By adding one via console and rebooting the server, all is fine and well again 🙂

 

in case someone else needs to know how:

   nano /etc/libvirt/qemu/<yourvmname>.xml

   and add/change the settings SimonF mentioned above)

 

Thanks @SimonF!

 

Have to ask though, why did removing the pinning "suddenly" cause the system to not display the settings? it was working perfectly without pinning all these years... 🤔

As part of the 6.12 PHP was upgraded to version 8+ this is more strict on some things. The in_array function now fails which is causing the issue as Unraid expects a pinned cpu, function just didn't fail previously. 

 

You can fix but adding the following to your VMs, edit the VM and switch to XML. The template method is also broken with no vcpu pinning.

 

after <vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu>

 

This
  <cputune>
    <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='0'/>
  </cputune>

 

I have created a PR that should cater for missing vcpu and allow the pages to work.

Hi Simon,

adding that to both XML resolved the "VMS" tab....all display correctly now.
I had to reboot as LibVirt service failed to restart.
