• [6.9.2] Virtual machines do not automatically start after stopping and starting the array.


    SelfSD
    • Annoyance

    When stopping and restarting the array, VMs with autostart enabled will not start back up. Only dockers do. When rebooting the server they start up.

    IIRC that is on purpose, if you pass a device my mistake (like the wrong disk controller) to a VM and it's set to autostart you can lose array access and not be able to easily fix it, this way you disable array auto start, star array and can then correct the XML.

    Reading this post from last year it says that in Unraid 6.9, you have to bind the PCI device to vfio-pci which will hide it form Unraid. If you could even manage to do that with the safe guard quoted below, wouldn't it already break the array and show missing disks even if you don't mount it to a virtual machine?

    If a device is being used by Unraid (such as a USB controller, disk controller, etc) then the web interface will prevent you from selecting it.
