Nearly identical between both VMs.
Differences are MAC address, TPM, uuid, iso and nvram. So no shockers here. I swear there is something spooky going on here and I wonder if it's related to my HP z230 SFF BIOS.

If you are pressing a key when prompted, and I believe you are pressing it without nothing happening.
When I’m pressing the key it immediately switches back to the previous screen. it’s not like I can’t press any key and it runs out of time. It’s like it refuses to boot from the media.

Just manually selecting the wireless keyboard/mouse dongle to add it to the VM at the bottom.

Good idea I’ll get back to you on that!

When using ovmf to install windows, after you start the windows virtual machine, you need to quickly enter the VNC remote desktop. When there is no screenshot of you, you need a few seconds to press any key on the keyboard, which will directly enter the windows system installation interface. If you miss this time, you will enter the screenshot of you. If you enter this interface, you need to forcibly shut down the windows virtual machine, Restart the windows virtual machine and follow the above steps. Do you understand?
Yeah I tried that but it still doesn't work

I can say that it works with the 516.25 Quadro drivers. You can successfully pass a Quadro K620 to a Win11 VM in Unraid!
I did have to custom make a rom file for it though and I wasn't able to use SpaceInvaderOne's script to create it either. I got lucky using something off of TechPowerUp and taking to it with HxD to remove the header as per SpaceInvaderOne's video. See attached for the .rom

Just tried a Windows 11 VM and it works... very confusing. Somehow Windows 10 is a no go.

I have the exact same issue right now. I probably should have just posted in here:

Are you using Q35 or i440 in the machine definition?
I had much better results with Q35.
If you start and it again goes into the shell as per your picture above, type exit on the prompt when possible. It will take you to the bios. Select boot order and then select QEMU.
then hit enter repeatedly until you go into installation
So rebuilt the VM around what you said on Q35 and then typed 'exit' in the DOS style shell which entered the VM BIOS. I then selected 'Boot Manager' and clicked on 'UEFI QEMU DVD-ROM QM00001' in the picture below. The screen changes to black and says again "Press any..." and it just brings me back to the same selection in the BIOS.
Super frustrating because I've built so many Unraid VMs on other computers without any issue.

When you select "ovmf" as the BIOS of the virtual machine, you can quickly enter the VNC remote desktop when windows is turned on. Press any key on the keyboard to enter the system installation interface.
what exactly do you mean by installation interface?
11 minutes ago, song said:In about three seconds, it will enter the interface you pointed out.
again, do you mean the shell?
11 minutes ago, song said:You can force the virtual machine to be turned off and turned on again. Quickly press the Enter key or any other key on the keyboard to enter the installation interface!
Do you mean turn off and on again within the unraid GUI? Can you be more specific?

Picked up a z230 sff workstation to use as a backup server. I'd like to run a VM on it in windows 10.
I'm able to do so with Ubuntu:
See vm log attached.
But I can't achieve this to save my life for Windows 10. It's the dreaded boot up loop
I've read everything I can on here and reddit, but nothing seems to work. The attached win10 vm logs seem the same (no apparent errors?). And yes the .iso is from microsoft. and I've tried multiple .iso including ones I've successfully used on my main unraid server.
What's going on?
See diagnostics attached.

Has anyone successfully configured crowdsec with their reverse proxy to parse through nextcloud logs and block suspicious nextcloud login attempts.
I've followed these guides to setup crowdsec for swag(nginx) to work with authelia and vaultwarden:
- https://www.linuxserver.io/blog/blocking-malicious-connections-with-crowdsec-and-swag
- https://docs.ibracorp.io/crowdsec/crowdsec/unraid/traefik-bouncer/authelia-collection
- https://docs.ibracorp.io/crowdsec/crowdsec/unraid/traefik-bouncer/vaultwarden-collection
- https://github.com/ergin/nginx-cloudflare-real-ip (important if you're using cloudflare)
However, I'd like to also have the crowdsec agent and my nginx swag bouncer block malicious nextcloud logins. The current IBRACORP solution doesn't seem clear to me. I'd rather know which logs to parse from the nextcloud appdata folder and which collections to use in crowdsec. Or is nextcloud in of itself it's own nginx and I just need to parse the nextcloud internal nginx logs?

Not saying it will work for sure, but don't rely 100% on that post, it's from a moderator of the nvidia forum and it's from 2018.
Remember that at that time nvidia did not allowed to passthorugh officially any gpu.
good point. thank you for your insight.
I was once able to see a list of gpu architectures from nvidia with official VM support, but I can't find it anywhere. This K620 would be a Maxwell chip I think. I wonder if I could bottom this out that way?

Never mind not supported

I'm thinking of buying an old HP z230 SFF computer that has a K620 video card and was curious if I could make a VM out of it to manage my backup server when I'm physically on premises.
I found numerous topics of people talking about it but no confirmed functioning use cases:

@corgan looks like 1.0.0 of compreface is released. Do you plan to update the template?

One of the things to try when you have issues with a vm is create a new vm with the same settings, pointing at the old vdisk(s); this basically restores the ovmf vars file with a clean one; so yes, restoring vars file with a fresh one is a thing to try.
BTW: there's lada and lada...
Haha yes love this! Not quite a sleeper, but carries the badge well. :)
Good to know. I'll try this fix next time I have VM issues. Thank you for the insight.

That file stores nvram variables, it's sometimes recommended to reset it as a general fix, especially on macintosh, who knows what happened...take your solution as a black box and be happy
Well I've bombed out the old VM now, but are you saying I could have deleted the old nvram file and let it rebuild it as a potential fix in the future?

maybe you changed the machine type version?
Same xml settings but new qemu versions with different machine versions could change the irq of the devices.
Same machine type and versions, but different <nvram> if that means anything.

I just created a new Win 10 VM from scratch with the same xml template settings as my original and all the issues seem to have gone away!
Updated metrics:
- Win10 Cinebench CPU Score: 8538 (was 7732)
- Crystal Disk Mark 2-3x better in most metrics.
Maybe I'll discover what hurt my performance as I step through making my VM current to my needs or maybe the lesson learned is to just make new VMs as new versions of Unraid are released with new libvert and qemu versions.
Man I feel like I got out of a Lada and into a Ferrari. It's night and day different.

Try reducing the resource allocation to the bare minimum and slowly add resources until performance quits improving, then back off a step.
For example, set CPU to a single thread, and RAM to 4GB. See how it acts. Increase to 2 threads (single core). Repeat.
Most people starve the host for resources, and the host is emulating the motherboard, so it's like putting a bunch of RAM and CPU on a super slow motherboard. The more resources you can leave for the host, the better your I/O throughput should be.
I tried this with no success. The performance seems consistently bad from 1 CPU 4GB ram through several steps towards 12 thread / 16GB as was my original VM.
However your comment did strike a chord, because I ran "WhySoSlow" and the report said: "The highest measured SM BIOS interrupt or other stall was 213 microseconds. This is considered poor behavior. Your system may have difficulty handling multimedia in real-time and may be subject to unexpected stutters and unresponsive behavior"

Also FWIW here is my CDM test run on the Win10 VM:

Is there a latest guide to Windows 10 VM best practices?
I currently have a Win10VM that exhibits some sluggish behavior. It's not very specific but it's noticeable enough to bother me. I'm questioning all my settings. Things that are slow include:
-browsing through files in windows explorer (all local)
-clicking across tabs in Chrome
-scrolling though a PDF in Chrome
-general desktop GUI sluggishness
However global metric on CPU/GPU don't seem horrible from within the VM:
- Win10 CPU utilization at rest: 2-3%
- Win10 Cinebench CPU Score: 7732 (Ryzen 9 3900X - 6C/12T)
- Win10 Time Spy GPU Score: 11864 (RTX 2080 Ti)
In general, the VM seemed to be a lot more responsive in 6.9.2 FWIW, but now in 6.10-rc4 it definitely seems worse.
See attached Win10.xml, Win10 log and diagnostics.
Any help is appreciated.

@bigbangus wondering if you've had any progress on this issue? I upgrades from 6.9.2 to 6.10-rc3 yesterday and while everything else works fine, suddenly my GTX 760 GPU which is being used for my Windows 10 VM is throwing error 43, and VM is stuck at 800x600 resolution. I tried reinstalling Nvidia drivers (v470), which now officially support virtualization, without any success. Also made a brand new Windows 10 VM, same issue.
So my solution here was to upgrade to the new driver from Nvidia that allows virtualization:

@digiblurI have the same problem as well. Also, on reboot of the server the container will not autostart either. @bigbanguswere you able to find a solution?
Yeah I just added:
to extra parameters in the docker template. That keeps it alive in case of any issues.
Also I added a NodeRed automation to notify my phones through Home Assistant if the docker ever goes down.
Also I turned off automatic updates on my Unifi controller because that was the cause of it going down because my z2m is on a POE device from TubeZB.

FYI it works perfect with an external db. Also if you’re using the GPU version with double-take 1.7.0 the status check will cause compreface to fail. I raised the issue on GitHub. That being said, if it’s correctly configured and you avoid the status page in double take, there is no issue.
For reference:

Has anyone successfully passed through a Quadro K620 to a linux VM?
in VM Engine (KVM)

Do you mean physically removing the video card?
