Was working in Unraid 6.10 rc2 but sadely this no longer works in Unraid 6.10 rc3 due to update of either
Libvirt to 7.10.0 or QEMU to 6.2.0
This error now happens

This video shows 2 methods to shrink the Unraid array. One method where you remove a drive then rebuild the parity and the second method where the drive is first zeroed then removed preserving the parity.

@SpaceInvaderOne Okay so unsure if I'm correct but I thought I might as well report this:
The helper script to fix XMLs doesn't seem to be working? I initially got this to work but it crashed my server because it was using the cores unRAID seems to like more. But everything was showing up: OpenCore boot menu and after the apple logo the progress bar did show up.
So then I rebooted, edited XML and reran the script after changing RAM and CPU core allocations and then all I got was a black screen with the REL date of OpenCore at the bottom. Pressing enter does bring up the apple logo but nothing else happened.
Thinking the server crash may have had corrupted something I uninstalled everything, removed all the macinabox related files including the ones in usr/system and did a clean reinstall of everything. This time before booting up the VM I did the RAM and CPU core allocations first, then ran the script to fix XML and still nothing.
The only thing the script said was something about the VM already existing but I assume that's normal.
Ok i think what happened for you is.
You uninstalled macinabox and its appdata getting rid of the container and related files.
However the vm template was still there.
What the helper script does it first checks if a folder called autoinstall in the appdata exists. This contains the newly generated vm xml. If it is present it attempts to define the vm from the template in that folder then deletes the autoinstall folder and exits.
So as it said the vm was already present it couldnt define the vm and just exited. It didnt replace your existing template, nether did it run the fixes on it.
The reason i think it stops and goes no further on the apple logo is because your existing template was missing this at the bottom
Running the helper script a second time would then fix this xml adding it back as the autoinstall folder wouldn't be there now.
I hope this makes sense

So about the "master var store" issue. Deleted macinabox with the templates and everything but still keep getting it. Catalina is the only one that does this so far for me. Any kind of suggestions would be appreciated.
What I tried knowing it wouldn't work was to copy the same path that working big sur install has for var. Once you do that then it starts giving an error about directory not existing for opencore.img.Do you see the files in your system share?

Are you trying to install Catalina? I'm having the same issue on Catalina. Big Sur installed nicely but I'm having this issue with Catalina. Also the Iso default location is not used in the xml (looking for the iso under /isos/macinabox catalina/ which it shouldn't) so I'm guessing something is off with the template.
Catalina xml is now fixed and i have pushed an update. If you update the container and run the Catalina install it should be okay

Um yeah thanks for pointing that out.
The problem is, is that Unraid VM manager on an update from making a change in the GUI (not xml edit) will automatically change the nics to be on bus 0x01 hence address to
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
I will take a look at this and perhaps add to the macinabox helper script to fix this.

Finally the new Macinabox is ready. Sorry for the delay work has been a F******G B*****D lately taking all my time.
So It also has a new template so please make sure to make sure your template is updated too (but will work with the old template)
A few new things added.
Now has support for
Monterey
BigSur
Catalina
Mojave
High Sierra.
You will see more options in the new template.
Now as well as being able to choose the vdisk size for install you can also choose whether the VM is created with a raw or qcow2 (my favorite!) vdisk
The latest version of Open core (OpenCore to 0.7.7.) is in this release. I will try and update the container regularly with new versions as they come.
However you will notice a new option in the template where you can choose to install with stock opencore (in the container) or you can use a custom one.
You can add this in the folder custom_opencore folder in Macinabox appdata folder. You can download versions to put here fromhttps://github.com/thenickdude/KVM-Opencore/releasesChoose the .gz version from here and place in the above folder and set template to custom and it will use that (useful if i am slow in updating !! 🤣) - note if set to custom but Macinabox cant find a custom opencore here to unzip in this folder then it will use the stock one.
Also there is another option to delete and replace the existing opencore image that your vm is using. Select this to yes and run the container and it will remove the opencore image from the macos version selected in the template and replace with a fresh one. Stock or custom.
By default the NICs for the macOS versions are virtio for Monterey and BigSur. Also vDisk Bus is virtio for these too.
HighSierra, Mojave and Catalina use a sata vDisk Bus. They also use e1000-82545em for there NICs.
The correct NIC type for the "flavour" of OS you choose will automatically be added.
However if for any macOS you want to overide the NIC type and install then you can change the default NIC type in the template from Virtio, Virtio-net, e1000-82545em or vmxnet3
By default the NIC for all vms is on
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
This will make the network adapter seem built in and should help with Apple services.
Make sure to delete the macinabox helper script before running new macinabox so the new script is put in as there are some changes in that script too.
I should be making some other chnages in the next few weeks soon, but thats all for now

I am in the process of remaking Macinabox & adding some new features and hope to have it finished by next weekend.
I am sorry for the lack of updates recently on this container.
Thankyou @ghost82 for all you have done in answering questions here and on github and sorry i havent reached out to you before.

Hi @cbeitel i have read you PM but thought i would reply here in the thread.
So you have an esxi running with vms on it.
You want to set up a vm on Unraid running esxi and have all the vms the orfiginal esxi running as nested virtualized vms so you dont have to reset up everything.
This will be very inefficient to do this.
You should migrate the esxi vms to Unraid without using a virtual esxi on Unraid. The vdisks will work as is on Unraid so you need only to copy them to Unraid then set up a vm pointing to the vdisks copied from the esxi.
Make sure to choose similar config to the esxi vms. ie if you are using a legacy boot for the vm on esxi then choose seabios on Unraid. If using uefi then choose ovmf.
I know you are worried as the windows vms are activated. So to be sure it goes smoothly you will need to get the UUID from the vm and make it the same in Unraid. You can get that from esxi or just boot the vm on esxi and open a command prompt and type
wmic csproduct get UUIDThis will give you the uuid.
Then in Unraid you will need to edit the vm templates xml to change the uuid to match the orginal.
so you would just change the line 4 here.
So your windows gaming VM. My advice is to set up this vm not using the default settings in the template.
Choose q35 chipset and not i440fx
make sure to use a vbios for your GPU you can try my vbios dump script to get one or edit one from techpowerup.
Also make sure to put all parts of the gpu on the same bus/slot (ie the graphics sound and usb if the gpu has that)

I dont think that with an ssd however a reallocated sector is as bad as on a mechanical drive, I beleive it is a block that has failed to be erased and then replaced from one from the reserve of which there are many ( but @JorgeB will know better than me) Even so probably if it were me i would replace the cache drive because of this reallocated sector and the fact it is quite old anyway. Power on hours are 27627 so about 3 years old and has written alot of data 383850 gigs or 363 TB

I would guess that you removed the disk and when you started the array maybe you had
The 'Parity is valid' box checked and then afterwards ran a manual parity check.
If so then the parity check will come up with many errors as the orginal parity would be incorrect.
I would just stop the parity check. Stop the array then goto tools new configuration. Select preserve all
Then click apply
This will keep all the disks in the same place.
Then go back to the main tab. Double check that the disks there are correct.
Then start the array. make sure not to check the 'Parity is valid' box
Then a new parity sync should start automatically.

Hello Everyone
My connection to NZBGET was fine until today.
It passes the connection test but i can't grab anything else.
Error says Pipeline error Request Failed. POST /api/v3/queue/grab/924571016: Unable to connect to NzbGet. An error occurred while sending the request.
Is there anything i can try to fix the situtation
Containers like sonarr, radarr, lidarr etc tend to work better using a custom network to communicate with each other. However as when you click test connection it passes this may not fix your problem. But worth a try anyway
Some people find after sonarr and radarr working fine by connecting through the server ip address and port number this stops working.
So here are the steps to put them on a custom network so they can talk through name resolution.
Make sure that on settings/docker/ that you have preserve user defined networks. (you will need to stop the docker service to change this setting)
You will need a custom docker network. To create this goto the web terminal and type
docker network create proxynet(the network can be called whatever you like doesnt need to be called proxynet that is just what i call mine)
Now you must change nzbget, sonarr radarr and any other containers that connect to nzbget to use this network.
So goto the docker template and change the network type to the type you created above.
Once all relivant containers are changed to this network they can communicate with each other using the name of the container rather than an ip address.
So in sonarr, radarr etc. Goto download clients and change the host to the name of the nzbget conatainer. (mine is called nzbgetvpn)
You still need the port no as before
Now click test and it will come back all good

I really like the quotom mini pcs with 4 intel nics. i3, i5 and i7 versions

The log says that the ssl certs are not being created as it cant verify the subdomains. You are using http verification, so it checks using the subdomain ie radoncloud.yourdomain.com is resolving back to swag through port 80.
So this is not happening. I can see you have set up a port forwarding rule, but some isps block port 80 on home connections. I would suggest moving your domain to cloudflare then using dns verification rather than http
See this video here for how to add your domain to cloudflare https://youtu.be/y4UdsDULZDg
And here for how to setup dns verification with cloudflare and letsencrypt (swag) https://youtu.be/AS0HydTEuA4

Glad you have it working. By the way SI1 and TAFKA gridrunner is the same person .My orginal username on the formums many years ago was gridrunner hence the tag TAFKA Gridrunner !! 😉
If you want to be able to have no monitor plugged in you will need an hdmi or display port dummy like here https://amzn.to/3mH5e3I

Um I am not sure if the nvidia drivers would be a problem with the 1 gpu. Maybe as they are loaded before the gpu is passed through it maybe could.
Try uninstalling the drivers and try again.
if still doesnt work then goto tools/systemdevices and stub the P2000 both graphics and its sound parts and reboot
You mention splashtop showing a black screen. Can you test with a monitor directly connected to the gpu whilst testing?

Are you booting the server by legacy boot or uefi? You can check this on the maintab/flash at the bottom of the page.
I find that booting legacy works better for me with passthrough so if you are not booting legacy you could try.
Also you can try adding this to your syslinux config file
video=efifb:off
so for example
label Unraid OS menu default kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzrootwith added would be
label Unraid OS menu default kernel /bzimage append video=efifb:off initrd=/bzrootHope this may help

What CPU is in your server. If Ryzen do you have the zenstates in your go file?

Hi Spaceinvader. First of I'm new to Unraid and started on the trail for a few days now and way before been going through -and downloaded-your videos on necessary topics I'm interested in especially VMs. You , Sir, are a God given gift! 😃. Now, onto my issue: i tried this and it worked for a minute but then the VM shuts down. The windows in on a SATA SSD. What could be the issue?
Its very hard to say without more info. Please post the xml of the vm here. Try a different machine type ie if using i440fx try q35 and vice versa

Hi. I decided to install Huginn today and was pleasantly surprised to find it readily available in CA in the new apps it had just been added today
Thanks so much for this addition I cant wait to start utilizing it.
A quick note for anyone installing the Huginn container: you'll need to modify the permissions for the Huginn appdata folder this ensures that Huginn has the necessary permissions (easiest way i find just to use the Unraid file manager plugin to do this) to write in this location for its database etc.
