Excellent guide!!! However, is there a way to copy the standard unraid openelec image's feature of storing the profile data outside of the image/vm into the appdata share folder? Thanks!

good question, i'd like to know too. right now, i'm just clicking on edit xml on my VMs and copy/paste to a separate text file.

I have an AMD R5 230 instead of a 220 and it doesn't blank out on the first slot (the one closest to the CPU). But, my GTX 750 has the same issue. I read somewhere in the forums that it's an issue with unRaid not wanting to give up the card as a primary video card and that there's a setting that you can put on the unRaid config file to make it ignore that GPU and make it available for VM use. Maybe someone remembers that thread and can post the link.

The unraid gui interface won't let you decrease it. It says the value that you entered should be at least the size of the current vdisk

do not click on the icon. Click on the name/text to the right of the VM icon.

I didn't think i needed to do the HDMI fix since when i did the lspci check i found Capabilities: [68] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ which i though meant that everything was OK.

1. Sound becomes disabled 2. Video goes lowres 3. Drivers would take several minutes to kick in Either one of the above will happen or all of them. Could all be driver related but not sure why adding another vdisk will affect it. Motherboard- Sabertooth 990FX GPU - nvidia 750gtx Sound - hdmi thru GPU Hoping someone has an answer and a fix. Thanks

it's expandable. someone just answered that question for me. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=41495.0

thanks for the help. yeah i had to go into the Windows VM and extend the volume in disk management to the new size. so simple lol

I managed to get a Windows 8.1 VM running with 20GB (Qcow). I increased the size of the VDisk to 30GB but when I went back to the VM it still saw it as 20GB.

Yeah, the mb didn't initially have iommu. I had to do a bios update. I tried Ovmf before as well gives me a blank screen.

How about emptying your current cache drive, set the drive you want to remove as new cache and activate mover.

Thank you for clarifying that. Unfortunately, the VMs won't launch with the onboard soundcard . I get an error, most likely iommu conflict. I tried an evga gtx 750 and that comes up with just a blank screen.

If I'm mostly going to access a VM remotely via VNC or RDP, will setting the VM to use a passthu GPU make any performance difference?

The soundcard I'm trying to use is an AMD Caicos HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 6400 Series] which is on my GPU card XFX R5 230. This happens on my Win8.1, Ubuntu 15.04 VMs. Otherwise, the VMS seem to be working fine but without sound.
