is it plugged directly into the computer? i know mine didnt work until i put it on a 2m extension cord some distance away.

Sorry Austin, I'm on 6.12.6 and conbee for me is rock solid...

Hi guys, not sure where to star this one... I'm running unraid Vs 6.12.6, I've got a vm that is mounted on a m.2 drive as an unassigned device - not in the domains section. (WD Blue SA510 - read speed 560, write speed 510) The unraid MB is a S2600CWR. I recently was fixing one of my kids computer (hardwared) and i copied some of the downloaded software back onto the server and noticed that it tranferred quickly. i ran a quick iperf to find his PC was getting scores in the region of 90 MB transfer and 900+ bandwidth. I went back to the VM and ran iperf 16MB transfer 140 Bandwidth, with the vm on a disk in the machine shouli not be getting faster speeds than this? The network proprties has a transmit/recieve speed of 10/10(Gbps). Even the laptop i'm on now on a wireless network is reporting 34 Transfer rate and 305Mbits/s. I've gone through a few options like increasing the packet size etc.. was wondering if there was something i'm missing within the VM settings that might be the issue - I've tried reseating the M.2 drive. Thanks for any help in advance

For anyone else running though this and struggling like i did, here are the Basic errors i made spelt out. in the hope it will help someone, or me if i ever need to go though this again in the future. After spending several hours going through this forum and some home assistant ones - i undid everyting and restarted from scrach and found a basic error/assumption i had made on unraid that solved my issue. I updated the conbee 2 firmware folling this - Conbee Firmware update (this is the only change i didn't roll back.) i plugged the conbee stick into a USB extension cable (2m) and moved it away from other elecrtical devices. UNRAID: in USB Manager - this is were my basic mistake happened... i mapped the device NOT the port by clicking on the monitor not the usb symbol. -previously i was mapping the port instead of the device. Made sure connect as serial only was selected, powered up the VM. USB manager showed "connected(Serial). in HA: Version 2023.10.3 latest at time of writing. HA Did not detect the conbee stick as being connected - attaching the via the port It was detecting it. - but failing Settings --> System --> Hardware -->all Harware. the stick now shows as dont exactly know why but hey ho.. going back to device and services and adding the integration Zigbee home automation, and follwoing the promts set a new network up for me without any problems. Hope this helps someone or future me...

If anyone else has this issue, in the end i rebuilt the VM and pointed it to the vdisk, and it booted up fine, got the erropr once more but a restart of the server fixed the issue for me, so unsure which actually fixed it or a combination of both.

hi guys, i update my graphics driver on My VM, and when rebooting windows was flashing, i couldn't get into uninstall/roll back the driver. i use "GitHub - danioj/unraid-autovmbackup: automatically backup kvm virtual machines and configuration" to do a weekly back up of my system so i thought easy way out just restore last weeks back up. I copied last weeks Vdisk image to the folder - (renamed the V-disk as it have a date stamp) and started the VM. the screens are black and not coming on. i restarted the VM and removed the pass through graphics card. and the system boots fine into VNC. however re-adding the graphics card (AMD) produced the following error in the logs. 2023-09-23T22:14:51.260475Z qemu-system-x86_64: kvm_set_user_memory_region: KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION failed, slot=7, start=0xc804300000000000, size=0x200000000: Invalid argument kvm_set_phys_mem: error registering slot: Invalid argument googling tells me If you get this crash after booting macOS in KVM with AMD GPU passthrough you'll need to disable Above 4GB decoding on your BIOS/UEFI Setup although its not a macOS i'm booting into i thought that this might help me When i boot into the bios i dont see an option for this... Anyone able to offer any help please. thanks in advance.

tidying up my VM'S and i accidently deleted my main VM. (thought i'd named it differently) anyway. not too bad i use squids user script to make weekly backup and the data is on the array so no great loss.. Copied the vdisk back to the share where it should be, renamed it to remove the date for the back up. tried to boot the vm and i get the following error. rebooted the server and copied the XML file over again, but i'm still getting the following. Any advise on what i should be doing to fix this?

i had a similar problem to this, I set the first graphics card as virtual and then added the actual card as a second graphics card once the system booted i was able to launch adrenaline to do the updates. not sure if the consistant resets or this actually fixed the problem but it them worked for me, once updated removed the virtual graphics card.

Hi All, Hoping someone can help me dignose and solve an issue. I recently updated my sons computer and as a result he got a new graphics card. i took the old graphics card out of his system and thought i would update the graphics card in unraid that i use from my win 10 VM. Currently there is an Nvidea k5000, and the card i want to replace it with is an AMD 6600 XT. I powered down the server swapped out the card and restarted the server, however, unraid now restarts itself after 4 mins of uptime. - the VM is not running, I've bearly had time to get into the settings of the VM to edit them so i know it cannot be the VM settings. the card works fine my my sons rig with a 450W PSU so i know the card isn't a problem. According to several online PSU calculators i need 650W psu and in the server are two (switchable) 750W (80 platimum) PSU's. with 100W head room and 80 platinum. without taxing the card i'm finding it hard to believe that its either of the PSU's. Can anyone make any sygesstions at all? thanks

Hi Guys, Anyone able to point in the right direction... Only recent things i canthink of, I have had a issue with FPS in some normally otherwise ok games recelently, loaded performance manager and played but didn't show graphics card playingup here or idenitifiy any bottom neck. server-diagnostics-20221227-1429.zip

yes thankyou

Perfect thanks

i Don't seem to have that as a variable?

hi Ich thanks for the dockers, I'm having an issue with updateing the Terraria one, The info says a restart should load the latest version, but it isnt doing that? latest version 1.4.3.2 docker version 1.4.3.1 you able to look at this at all thanks

While looking around that lovely man @SpaceInvaderOne made some scripts and a video on how to capture your own VBIOS. for those who arrive here look for the following video. How to Easily Dump the vBios from any GPU for Passthrough - YouTube

Just noticed the card i have is a GT 710 (1GD3H LP) but the only ones listed on Techpower are all 2 gb RAM. the 1GD3H LP on tech power up is liseted as a 720.. using this V-bios gives a black screen.

HI all, I've got a VM working well passing through a Nvidia k5000 card, works good enough that it has replaced my main PC. I've been trying to get a second VM working, I've set it all up and have it working fine with VNC. The VM is to run on our tv, for plex and photos and eventually zoom etc... I got a GT710 card as it only takes up one slot space on my motherboard. I've followed the same instructions from Spaceinvader for passing through the GPU, (editing the vbios from tech powerup, adding a line in XML for multifunction and placing the graphics and sound on the same slot) However, when i boot the VM i am clearly having some graphics issues, the display has lots of Horizontal lines over it, that makes it unusable. I've tried the MSI GT710 V-bios <-- my card and i've also tried a zotec GT710 card Vbios, both have the same issue. Motherboard is s2600CWR, and according to the manual I've plugged it into a PCIe x16 (CPU2) - i've even assigned cores from CPU 2 incase this improved it. I've updated the drivers on the VM using the geforce experiance program. I've plugged the card: into a TV via HDMI into a monitor using DVI, both have the same result. I'm now out of ideas, can anyone offer suggestions? thanks

Thanks Simon, Sorry didn't get time to make last adjustments. I changed the USB Setting to 3.0 (qemu XHCI) but the VM then seemed to stall every couple of minutes for a few minutes with the VM showing 10 out of the 12 threads maxed out. However there was also a windows update applied at the same time. so I turned it back to 2.0 and everything worked as it was before so I assumed it wasn't the update causing it to stall. I just tried the 3.0 nec XHCI version out of curiosity and forgot to assign the usb in the settings. However i added it via the usb manager and it attached and seams to be working fine. So I figure the problem was I have too Many USB Attached, and changing to 3.0 solved it. For anyone who might be having a Similar problem, thanks for your help.

can't see the whole error _ possible bug i need to move the screen to the right, but moveing the mouse means there is no role over, so i dont need to move anymore? using keys to move the screen means hte mouse isn't over the error and so no role over and thus no need to move the screen to the right... however what i can read is in pic, ill try the USB change as i didn't realise the USB Setting in the VM...

the is only one other USB stick plugged in and that is a san disk Cruizer - but this has UNRAID on in.

HI All, Moved to unraid a while ago. have set it up and is Working well. Well enough that I moved my main gaming PC to a VM in unraid, including GPU pass though - again working well. I've setup a second VM and while I was physically installing another gpu, I also added a sandisk cruzer fit drive (fresh drive straight out of packet) to in the internal on board USB, as i thought i might be able to save some time by installing unraid on this drive with a licence and then just copying the files from the "old" trial drive across. idea in my head being turn off the server, unplug old drive, turn on the server, and unraid is now running as expected on the new drive but now licenced.... however, the first step in this has stumped me and the search terms I am using don't seem to be giving me the answers I'm after. Question: how can I see the drive in my VM? what easy step have I overlooked? I can see the drive in unraid (6.9.2). I've edited the VM so the drive is included in the USB devices. but after turning on the vm. the drive isn't appearing. So i cant even start the process. all the solutions i found talk about passing through the usb contoller... I can't pass the USB controller through as all the usb ports on the server seem to be placed under the same physical bus. - i think from reading around i need to look into editing the bios to alter this as i should have 4 buses according to info. Can someone please link me to a place where i tutorial where i can add the usb drive to the VM (not the bios thing)

Parity has finished rebuilding and a restart later, and the VM's are still not showing up. Anyone able to help on how to get the VM back and the dockers? EDIT: I recreated the VM's with the exact name as before and when they booted they booted into the old VM, just the inital settings |( on the VM page were all I needed to alter. many thanks

Thanks Squid, ill look into flashing the controllers, they are this way as its the condition that I received the Server, I didn't realise there were multimodes for them..., I've re-seated the drives and the cables, and the parity is reading/rebuilding (estimated 1day 6hrs!!) The VM's are the concern? the parity is now emulated (I assume while they are being rebuilt), However, why would the VM's which are on the "Cache - prefer" (hence not backed to the parity) still not be showing and hence allowing me to use them? how would i get these back, are is the assumption that once the parity is re-built then these will just start working? having a drive down like this, is a big Issue, as I'm thinking of ditching the hardware PC to be replaced by a VM

New to Unraid so please bear with me... I am using Unraid 6.9.2 Trail version at the moment, Got an old server work was throwing out. Moving from a Windows 10 machine using storages spaces (dedicated to storage/running media servers) to Unraid. 1 12TB parity drive and (originally 1 2TB and 1 4TB) disks, with a 1TB SSD Cache. I use it to store all my files, and I've played with (and successfully set up 2 dockers - logitech media server and a plex media server both were working well. I also set up a VM and that was working well. - to remove my main PC, including GPU passthrough. So I was happy it was working correctly. I started an overnight transfer of my data from my old (win 10 -server) computer to unraid, and didn't calculate it properly and it filled the two disks I had in to 100%. I added a third disk the next day (4 TB) and then my first disk showed an X and was disabled. The VM's and dockers were working fine. After reading the forums a simple stop-unassigned-start stop-assign-start, fixed the problem with the disks but I noticed that the VM and the dockers were missing. I presumed that while the disk are being rebuilt a simple restart might fix this. Once finished, the VM's were still missing so I restarted the Machine. and they still did not appear. While i was thinking on this problem i added a 4th disk (3TB). I couldn't find a problem explaining what was my problem so I restarted the system once more. Now my Parity drive is showing an X. so I've started a rebuild of this... However the more i read the more i think that these drive issues are separate to the VM issue. The domains share is set to Cache-Prefer, so it shouldn't be touching the disks other than to write to the shares, Once the systems are loaded should they? I can see the VM image file in the share. Can anyone point me in the direction I should be looking in please. I've attached the diagnostics log. thanks for any help in advance. server-diagnostics-20210530-1811.zip
