Swapping from one VM (with GPU passthrough) to another on a server with only 1 gpu, we normally shutdown the vm and use another computer to loginto the webUI and start up another VM. If you dont have another computer or just dont want to have to grab your laptop etc each time you want to jump onto another VM. We can use a script to do it all from the VM you are using.

Great write up. Thanks for taking the time for posting what worked for you.

Made a quick video that may help people having difficulty setting up

@luizmontplease check here if port 443 is open and report back https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

Unfortunately at present the Unraid vm manager removes custrom xml. If you use virt-manager instead to edit your vms then the custom xml will remain the same.

Not sure of any workarounds I'm afraid. Thanks I meant to fix the template for the locations and forgot to. Reading your post prompted me to fix it

Hi @NoxeyI have a couple of videos i must finsish first. But i will try and make it for the end of the month. Send me a pm towards the end of the month to remind me

Your welcome @jang430 Yeah a poll could be a good idea

Hi, looking at your xml all the custom lines that are needed are no longer present. Unfortunately when you make a change to the vm using the Unraid vm manager gui it strips out any custom xml. So if you make a change using the vm manager after doing so you must add back the xml that has been removed At the top of the xml would be <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-3.1'>hvm</type> <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/mnt/user/domains/MacinaboxCatalina/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd</loader> <nvram>/mnt/user/domains/MacinaboxCatalina/ovmf/OVMF_VARS.fd</nvram> </os> This points to a custom ovmf file in the domains share. <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:74:00:17:57:0f'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='vmxnet3'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </interface> This part here sets the network card to be vmxnet3 (as the virtio which is standard will not work) Vmxnet3 is necessary for the install . However after installing it is better to then change that to <model type='e1000-82545em'/> Also at the bottom of the xml it is very important as the vm will not continue from clover without. <memballoon model='virtio'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x0f' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-usb'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-kbd,bus=usb-bus.0'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='isa-applesmc,osk=the osk key has been removed from this'/> <qemu:arg value='-smbios'/> <qemu:arg value='type=2'/> <qemu:arg value='-cpu'/> <qemu:arg value='Penryn,kvm=on,vendor=GenuineIntel,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on,+pcid,+ssse3,+sse4.2,+popcnt,+avx,+aes,+xsave,+xsaveopt,check'/> </qemu:commandline> </domain> Also if you have set your cpu to have a large amount of cores then you will need to remove the topology line from the xml. for example <cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none'> <topology sockets='1' cores='16' threads='1'/> </cpu> should be changed to <cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none'> </cpu> Hope this helps

Hey @jpowell8672 I am still here -- Yeah sorry the last month has been really busy for me with work so I haven't spent a great deal of time on the forums recently. Yeah its a shame that Nvidia cards, since High Sierra, are no longer supported by Apple and especially too that support in High Sierra stops at Pascal - GTX 10 series.

opps yes i will fix that

Hi @MothyTim Please download the file in this post and run it as administrator on your windows 10 vm. MSI_util.exe Select any references to gpu or sound and click apply, this will enable msi interrupts which may help you. Also maybe try changing how you gpu is presented to the vm in this video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlTVANDndpM

Here is a guide about how to setup a Bitwarden server using the Bitwardenrs container. Also last part of video shows having setup the container how to use the chrome extension and importing passwords from chrome into Bitwarden. I hope you guys find it useful.
